It's probably too early for Sarah Silverman fans (like myself) to rejoice, but she's got a development deal going on a new project - dunno what it is, it hasn't been cast, and who knows if a pilot will even be made, but let's stay positive about that.

With virtually no new comedy on this week and most of the late night shows on hiatus, thank the lord that "Chelsea Lately" has been on with great shows the last two nights. Last night was particularly notable with a fantastic mini-parody of "Dancing With The Stars" which, while extremely funny, illuminated how trite and predictable the original is. Tonight former Laker great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will guest on the show.
