Yin, yang on the tube

Emmy award winner Eddie Izzard is no longer part of the hit TV drama 24 - after completing only one day of filming. The cross-dressing comedian quietly parted with the show and is currently working on his upcoming TV series The Riches with fellow Brit Minnie Driver, which was picked up by the FX network in September. Izzard has been replaced by British actor David Hunt, husband of former Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton. Hunt will take over the role and play a villainous accomplice on the show named McCarthy.

NBC Universal CEO Robert Wright has denied reports that Aaron Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is about to be canceled. In an interview with FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman, who originally quoted insiders as saying that the show was about to be yanked from the network's schedule, Wright said such a move was unlikely because "We have too much money invested in it. ... I think it will go on."

NOT COOL

Even more depressing...Bob Barker is going to retire

There's a show (and a man) that's withstood the ravages of time. Can't blame him for wanting to finally get out of the biz, though, while he can still walk. (That yodeling game used to give me nightmares, but Plinko was the shiznit.)

And I waved at someone I thought was you today, but maybe it was Jennifer Wells....
