Edie's Gone From Desperate Housewives

Posted May 12, 08 2:03 PM CDT in Arts & Living    Most Popular

(Newser) – Edie's gone from Desperate Housewives, and the show's creator says she won't be back "for a few years." Nicollette Sheridan's character left abruptly at the end of last night's episode after being confronted and shunned by her neighbors. Show creator Marc Cherry insists that she's really leaving, but he refused to say whether the character would reappear in Lost-style flash-forwards.

"I only address one rumor at a time," Cherry says.

    Where Will Jay Go After Tonight ? Jay Leno might be losing his beloved "Tonight Show," writes the Hollywood Reporter, but the host still has a ratings punch and an enviable set of options (in decreasing order of probability):

    1. Take ABC’s 11:30pm-12:30am slot, displacing Nightline and Jimmy Kimmel Live and competing with Letterman and O’Brien.
    2. Launch a show on Fox at 11 or 11:30pm—Fox doesn’t currently run late-night shows, but could use Leno’s brand to push into the new territory.
    3. Sony Pictures TV puts Leno’s Tonight Show into syndication, which could eventually lead to another late-night gig.

    Minutes Dwindle for Networks' War Coverage Middle East correspondents are struggling to get stories on the nightly news as TV networks scale back war coverage, the New York Times reports. With violence in Iraq declining and the US public tiring of an open-ended conflict, network execs have focused on hot topics like the contentious presidential primaries. Keeping, and securing, bureaus in violent areas is also quite costly. More »

    Brokaw to Replace Russert NBC has anointed Tom Brokaw as Tim Russert's heir on "Meet the Press" through the 2008 election, the network announced today. "I feel right at home," said Brokaw, who has appeared on the public affairs show since the Watergate days. But Brian Williams—who took over NBC's Nightly News when Brokaw stepped down in 2004—was at the helm today, and he wasn't up to snuff, writes the Swamp's Jon Crewdson. More »
