A whole new late-night: Jimmy Fallon is the new host of 'The Tonight Show'
Jimmy Fallon hosts “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”
NBC's late-night lineup is about to get a facelift, and this time, it might even stick.
Q: I loved the British comedy series "The IT Crowd," and its credits say prominently that it was created by Graham Linehan. Has he made any other shows?
Ireland-born writer-director Graham Linehan is now best known for "The IT Crowd," his smash-hit sitcom that combined office jokes with nerd jokes ("IT" stands, in this case, for "information technology").
He had made a number of other shows prior to "The IT Crowd's" debut in 2006 -- though none was as popular -- and one since.
Hawaii Five-0, on CBS

Q: What has America Ferrera been doing since "Ugly Betty" went off the air?
The short answer is she's been riding on a dragon, trying to revolutionize television, and will soon be working towards real-world revolution, too.
But the short answer requires some explanation.
She had a voice role in the 2010 hit animated film "How to Train Your Dragon," which has since spun off into a TV series ("Dragons: Riders of Berk"), a couple of video shorts and will be launching a second big-screen film this summer -- Ferrera reprises her role as Astrid in all of them.

Q: Will the "Vikings" series ever be back on History?
The ambitious Ragnar Lothbrok has lain in wait for nine months, but he's ready to unleash another season of havoc on land and sea (and on cable).
History's dramatic series set in medieval Scandinavia will return on Feb. 27 for its second season, and fans will be happy to hear that this season will have a whopping 10 episodes (not a lot, perhaps, but one more episode than the last).
