There's a little bit of everything being promoted with guest appearances this week, but my two faves are Jeremy Piven, stumping for a dark little bit of business called I Melt with You and the luminous Zooey Deschanel who is doing double duty promoting her TV show, The New Girl, and her new holiday album...

Talk-show tango May 31-June 4: Sarah Ferguson, Katherine Heigl, Jonah Hill and repeats

On the plus side, maybe Sarah Ferguson's OMG-I'm-so-sorry-I-failed-you-my-fans with Oprah on Tuesday this week will get her a job? So she can perhaps make money for other than appearing to or at least promising to pimp out her princely, trade envoy ex-husband's very valuable time? Not sure what I'm talking about?

Talk-show tango: March 2-6

I'm all atwitter about this week in late night. And I don't mean the time gobbling micro blogging site that is taking up waaaaay too much of my TV-watching time. I mean the double whammy of the launch of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, debuting Monday, March 2 on NBC at 12:35 a.m. You can...
