Bruce Springsteen on The Late Show
Bruce Springsteen stopped by The Late Show to promote his new book, and Stephen Colbert pressed him on his top 5 all-time Bruce songs. Frankly it was a pretty lame question, as Bruce didn’t really get into answering it, but some of his selections were interesting.
Looking back on “Battlestar Gallactica”
Created by Glen Larson and beginning in 1978, Battlestar Galactica keeps on coming back. There have been films, television series, books comics and games all based around a science fiction world thought up by Larson. All productions begin with the same basic idea – a group of 12 human colonies engage in a war with the alien Cylons who want to wipe out the humans. They attack all of the colonies and most of the humans are killed, meaning the survivors flee. One large spaceship, named Battlestar Galactica has survived the attack and they go off in search of a mythical thirteenth colony, Earth.
Here’s a pretty funny exchange between Sylvester Stallone and Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show as Stallone discusses his rivalry with Arnold Schwarzenegger back in the day.

We loved her as Elaine Nardo in her “Taxi” days so we’re looking forward to seeing this curvy redhead dancing on TV this fall.
