    Hey all you Downton Abbey fans! This is the funniest thing you're going to see all day. News has come out recently that Downton Abbey just cast its first recurring black character, Gary Carr. Little did we know, however, that that information is totally and completely false. The first black character ever to have a recurring role on Downton is none other than P. Diddy! Obviously! And he's the best damn addition to the Downton Abbey cast I've ever seen, thanks to Funny or Die.

    P. Diddy stars as Lord Wolcott in what he refers to as "Downtown Abbey." Somehow we just never managed to notice him in some of the series' most iconic, memorable scenes. But P. Diddy has done us a solid by giving us a Downton highlight reel that will put all other Downton highlight reels to shame. Check it out.

    Finally, it's the moment we've all been waiting for. For the last seven years. What better way to get through yet another Monday than checking out the brand-new Arrested Development trailer!

    With a loyal fan base already built-in for the Bluth family, the show ran for three seasons on Fox and was heralded by many as one of the funniest on television. So now new episodes will be coming out for a fourth season, available exclusively on Netflix. I have a feeling a lot of people may sign up just to tune in on May 26! Netflix announced that it will post all 15 new episodes at once.

    And the trailer is a wonderful, refreshing reminder of how bizarre, dysfunctional, and hilarious the Bluth family is -- though we get no sneak peek of all the famous guest stars that will appear in the fourth season, like Kristen Wiig, John Slattery, Isla Fisher, John Krasinski, and Terry Crews. Still, it'll be the best 1:36 of your life.

    Typically, Saturday Night Live is either hit or miss. Some hosts always knock it out of the park (that would be you Justin Timberlake) while others are just painful to watch (Vince Vaughn, this just isn't you thing). The most recent episode featured awkward funnyman Zach Galifianakis and viewers definitely weren't disappointed. To say he was amazing is a serious understatement. This is his second time headlining the show and he proved that he just may be the best SNL host ever. Check out his best bits.

    Well, fans of The Office have heard grumblings about this for a while, but now it seems that it's officially official: Steve Carell, who played Michael Scott, won't be appearing in The Office series finale. And that just sucks!

    The executive producer of the show, Greg Daniels, told reporters on Wednesday that Carell won't be making an appearance, a cameo, a speech, a wave, anything, on the finale, which will air May 16. "I think Steve felt, and I agree, that the 'Goodbye, Michael' episode was his goodbye and he didn't want to overshadow the ending that all the other characters deserved," said Daniel.

    I really don't think having him do a brief cameo would take away from the other characters, and for what it's worth, watching Michael Scott's bizarre behavior is what made the show so fantastic and funny. It hasn't been the same without him, and not seeing him on the very last episode of the series just doesn't seem right.

    Time for some geeky disclosure: The only awards show I ever get really, truly excited about is the Tony Awards. They're just so much fun! All the musical numbers sprinkled throughout the show are always high-energy, entertaining, and memorable -- and the talented actors don't get nearly as much fame and fortune as their Emmys and Oscars counterparts, even though they perform live up to six times a week! Anyway, now that the new musical Kinky Boots is up for a huge 13 nominations, I had to learn more.

    I've seen some random commercials featuring the show but know jack shit about it. Everyone's probably a little more familiar with its closest competitor, Matilda, which racked up an impressive 12 nominations. Didn't everyone read that Roald Dahl book back in the day? So, in case you were wondering what the hype is all about, here's everything you need to know about Kinky Boots ... though I'm sure the tickets will be astronomical in price by now!

    Here's the progression of pretty much every Take Your Child to Work Day:

    1. Wake up brimming with excitement to see the magical things you or your spouse does.

    2. Watch the magic happen for like 10 minutes, when they realize your job is boring as shit and they vow to NEVER grow up -- and if they must, they will do something exciting like race cars or be famous. (*If you're already famous, they'll think your job sucks too and vow to be something totally amazing like the check-out person at the grocery store who gets to swipe things over the cool scanner.)

    3. Spin in your office chair for 30-60 minutes because that's awesome and clearly the real magic of your job. They will then question why you don't spend more time spinning and make a mental note that you'd probably do better in your job if you spun more.

    Well here's something that's going to make your day -- as long as you're a Game of Thrones fan and can spare an extra 60 seconds. Because this new trailer is pretty cheesy and hilarious and something a lot of Game of Thrones fans might actually want to see. It's a question we've all asked ourselves time and again: Will Jaime and Brienne, the oddest couple on television, ever hook up?

    Jaime is one of the least likable characters on Game of Thrones -- he betrayed his king, shoved a young kid out of a tower, and has sex with his sister. Brienne, on the other hand, is one of the most honorable, though Jaime has no problem making fun of how tall, unattractive, and brutish she is. Still, they both make each other more likable, and they're there for each other in a way that makes this series so brilliant. Their relationship is not supposed to work, but it does. You'll see what I mean in a second.

    Game of Thrones fans know that the series is, well, the exact opposite of a Disney fairy tale. Minus the fact that everyone's very, very, very good-looking. There is no spontaneous bursting out into song, there is no happily ever after, the heroes die, the spouses of the heroes die, the animals aren't all cute and cuddly, there's lots of unrequited love, there's blood, gore, beheadings, boobs, there's King Joffrey. These worlds could never possibly collide, could they?

    Um, turns out, since this is the day and age of the Internet upon which anything is possible, it can! Someone or someones out there decided to "Disney"-fy Game of Thrones, and what they've come up with is ... kind of funny? Nauseating? Weird? Clever? All of the above?

    A gorgeous blonde girl as Daenerys Targaryen and a gorgeous brunette man as Jorah Mormont belt out a duet called "Across the Sea", just like you'd see in a Disney movie. The things that exist.

    Game of Thrones season 3 is currently underway (finally), and there's no doubt, at least in my mind, that it's one of the best shows on TV. The characters are so compelling, the plotlines so twisted and shocking, there's action, violence, sex, drama, comedy, Tyrion ... one simply couldn't ask for more in a series.

    Not to mention the fact that everyone who stars on the show happens to be ridiculously good-looking.

    How can you not have a massive crush on Emilia Clarke, aka Daenerys, or Kit Harington, aka Jon Snow, or Richard Madden, aka Robb Stark, or Lena Headey, aka Cersei Lannister, or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, aka Jaime Lannister? Well ... needless to say, one woman took her love of Game of Thrones and its characters a teeeeeeeny bit too far with an absolutely hilarious Craigslist ad.

    Approximately 200,000 people visited Disney World daily over Easter and I may have seen or bumped into 90 percent of them. What I marvel at, aside from the crowds and those Neanderthal looking turkey legs that have lines as long as the thrill rides (WTF?) is the fact that my kids can find things to cry and complain about almost constantly in the place where dreams come true.

    Luckily, mine weren't the only ones. Sure my son may have set some kids off when he screamed Mickey Mouse is DEAD in a crowded room? Oh, that happened as I was explaining Walt Disney (the original Mickey) was dead. Um, my bad.

    And yes, my daughter may have shed a tear about getting the "wrong" colored magic carpet, but I watched a toddler flailing on the ground exclaiming his ice cream was too "drippy." Nothing like watching other people with their children to make you feel sane! That said, here are things your children will probably cry about in the "happiest place on Earth."
