Jason Segel, who has a little movie called The Muppets coming out this week, just talked extensively about his hosting duties on Saturday Night Live, also offering up this cute anecdote to Moviefone—his list of goals that he made when he was a kid had three things on it: to be on Letterman, to work with the Muppets, and to host SNL. He told them, "I did all three last week. In one week! That's not hyperbole, that's an actual list I had." more ›

Tonight, Jason Segel—the man entrusted with bringing the Muppets back onto the silver screen—will be the host on Saturday Night Live (check out the promos below). We have a lot of faith in him—after all, this is Nick Andopolis we're talking about, and anyone who can nail Styx's "Lady" is gold in our book. We're keeping our fingers crossed for a Muppets cameo tonight, but until then, we've really been enjoying this clip of Kermit the Frog performing “Life’s a Happy Song”—the opening number from the upcoming Muppets movie—with Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie, the movie's music supervisor (and the song's author).

Actor and bromanticizer Jason Segel might seem like an unlikely candidate to bring the Muppets back to their glory days, but he's been working hard at doing it for some time now. Paste magazine catches up with the actor about getting his Muppets movie off the ground, and he told them, "The script is done. Disney has it and we’re just waiting to hear how they want to proceed. It’s a big decision for them to relaunch a franchise." If all goes smoothly, he promises to bring the crew back to their Great Muppet Caper roots, explaining, "The Muppets have taken a strange turn with these parody movies like The Muppets Do Dickens and all this stuff...so my pitch to Disney was to reintroduce the Muppets, [make] a movie that is a real throwback to those early movies." Segel has already shared screen time with Henson puppeteer's custom-made creatures during Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and last week he was heckled on Jimmy Fallon by Statler and Waldorf. more ›

Is Vanity Fair running out of cover concepts? The magazine is giving their sultry Tom Ford/Keira Knightley/Scarlett Johansson cover a comedy makeover, replacing Ford with Paul Rudd, and the ladies with Jonah Hill and ex-Freaks and Geeks Seth Rogen and Jason Segel. (Rogen will also be gracing the cover of Playboy in the near future.) Check out video of the shoot, and more photos from inside the issue (which includes Amy Poehler, but not Tina Fey—who is #1 on this list). The mag declares their subjects are "Comedy’s New Legends," but who are they missing? more ›
