Bryan Cranston To Host Saturday Night Live October 2nd

Fresh off his third consecutive Emmy win for his work as chemistry teacher turned meth cook Walter White on AMC's amazing Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston will be taking his talents to 30 Rock. Thankfully this doesn't mean he will be a guest star on the vastly overrated sitcom of the same name, instead the veteran actor will be serving as host of Saturday Night Live on October 2nd. The 36th season of the legendary show will premiere on September 25th with a few changes as longtime cast member Will Forte will be leaving the show while three new members, Paul Brittain, Vanessa Bayer and Taran Killam, will be taking part in skits that run on a few minutes too long. No host is set for the season premiere, but another recent Emmy winner, Glee's Jane Lynch, will follow Cranston and host the October 9th episode.   [via la times]

Zach Galifianakis' Twin Brother Seth Between Two Ferns With Sean Penn

The latest episode of Zach Galifianakis' amazing talk show Between Two Ferns is sadly without it's host. Legendary actor and humanitarian Spicoli still manages to make an appearance to talk about the current situation in Haiti while Zach's twin brother Seth takes over hosting duties. It's nice to see he can appreciate his brother's humor and how fancy Long John Silver's really is.

Also Ryan Reynolds.

Conan O'Brien Names New Show After Iconic Schwarzenegger Role

Earlier today over at Team Coco, the awesome cult's fiery haired leader revealed the name of his new talk show on TBS. The show doesn't start until November 8th but now we have a much better idea of what we can expect from the show, at least if the title means anything. Clearly in a nod to one of the most iconic roles of The Governator's career, O'Brien has announced that his new show will simply be called Conan as the inclusion of "The Barbarian" part would clearly have turned off women and younger viewers. Either way I'm pretty pumped the talk show host is going to have a bit more of an action/adventure flair than in year's past. You can check out the fancy little announcement video below, you know, if you're in to that sort of thing.

Music Video Of The Day: The Morning Benders - All Day Day Light

Here's the official "All Day All Light" video from one of our favorite albums of the year, The Morning Benders' Big Echo. In the Jack Ferry directed video we see the band perform as the seasons change around them and various lyrics overtake the screen. Oh yeah, and it's heavy on the handclaps, as it should be. Chris Chu and company have a pretty busy schedule ahead that takes them all over the world, but you can catch their North American dates starting in early October. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.  [via stereogum]

Finally The Disney Version Of Full Metal Jacket Is Here

It's pretty clear that the one thing preventing Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket from truly becoming a cinematic masterpiece is that for all of its amazing storytelling and performances, there really isn't much for kids to connect with. Of course it's not at the ideal time as the film's legendary director passed away eleven years ago, but it looks as if that one problem has finally been solved. A new cut is making it's way around the interwebs that replaces the abrasive sounding jacket with something a little more kid-friendly: Full Metal Disney.
