Chelsea, Not Leno

A few bits of housekeeping:

-- Episodes of Leverage will stream on TNT eventually, and be available for download on both Amazon (which means Tivo purchasing!) and iTunes within days. I believe the premiere's already up on Amazon. No word on Hulu or XBox.

-- Michael Alan Nelson will be joining us as our third team blogger. He's been writing the excellent Fall of Cthulhu series for BOOM!. I'm genuinely a fan of Nelson's work, and the recent trades of his run are well worth picking up. (Love the size of the BOOM! trades, btw). His new book Hexed manages to somehow be Juno meets Hellblazer meets Epic Win. I figured a horror/indie writer is a nice way to round out the team.

--Leno to 10pm? There goes another 40 or so writing jobs. The economics make sense, but if NBC was going to focus so much on talk shows, then I personally would rather see Chelsea Handler take The Late Show than Jimmy Fallon. Break up the White Dude Chorus Line a little, fer chrissake. The Lovely Wife introduced me to Chelsea's show last year, and now I'm hooked. But we both agree -- cut the bangs, Chelsea.
