TV Squad

The free-TV gods have shined down upon us, everyone. The bigwigs at Viacom and Hulu have struck a deal to stream 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report' on Hulu starting ... now. Actually, it was yesterday, reports Deadline, but no matter.

If you're a Hulu Plus subscriber, you can also stream current Viacom programming like 'Jersey Shore,' 'Tosh.0,' 'Teen Mom 2' and 'Hot in Cleveland' (albeit three weeks after they air), along with seasons of older shows like 'Reno 911,' 'The Real World,' 'The Chappelle Show,' 'Punk'd' and 'Beavis & Butthead.'

But enough of that. Let's enjoy last night's Jon Stewart / Stephen Colbert hour -- for free, online -- because we can. Watch the episodes after the jump.

Here's what's on TV tonight (all times Eastern). Check your local TV listings for the full schedule.

8PM

ABC: 'Wipeout'
CBS: 'The Big Bang Theory'
NBC: 'Community'
FOX: 'American Idol'

After the jump, the rest of the schedule and the late-night talk shows.

When the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers face off in Super Bowl XLV this Sunday, an unexpected milestone will occur: It'll be the first Super Bowl in 43 years without cheerleaders.

Tragic, we know -- and so do Aly Michalka, Ashley Tisdale and the rest of the 'Hellcats' cast. That's why the stars of The CW's college cheerleading drama have filmed this informative PSA. They feel your plight, football fans, and they want you to know they're here for you -- every Tuesday at 9PM.

Watch the ladies discuss this very serious issue in our exclusive clip -- they've got the cheerleading action you'll be missing on Sunday.

Ready for more 'Futurama'? You should be, because Katey Sagal -- Leela herself -- is saying season 8 is a go.

According to Vulture, the recent Golden Globe winner spilled the beans at the Directors Guild of America Awards.

"'Futurama' just got ordered again for another season," Sagal said. "I don't know if I'm supposed to say that yet. But it just did."

While Comedy Central has not made an official statement, Vulture reports the show's studio, 20th Century Fox TV, has been talking to voice actors to make sure they'd be on board. However, no official negotiations have taken place.

['Friday Night Lights': 'Small Town']

This was it: the penultimate episode of 'Friday Night Lights,' the build-up to the inevitable finale that will determine the fates of these characters.

If you're like me, this show flew by. So much happened and so much is still to come ... and I can't wait to see the resolution.

For Eric and Tami Taylor, there's never been a more tenuous time. There's no question that they love each other and have a strong union, but they are in a situation that's fraught with consequences. Have they ever been in such a good/bad dilemma like this before?

Jennifer Aniston explains how a chance meeting with Perez Hilton inspired the blogger to stop his bullying ways on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' (weekdays, syndicated).

There have been some Internet rumblings that 'Hawaii Five-0' (Mondays, 10PM ET on CBS) might be moving to Los Angeles, and they just won't go away. I know, it's blasphemy, right? Right?

Since I'm currently in Hawaii down the street from where they shoot, I thought I'd get our pal, star Daniel Dae Kim, to set the record straight.

After all, if anyone's an expert on shooting here in paradise, it's him. With 'Lost' and now 'Five-0' both based in Oahu, he and his family have called the island home for a while now.

So, are the rumors true? Could they really fake Hawaii on a show with Hawaii in the title?

As 'Cougar Town' leaves the schedule for two months to make way for 'Mr. Sunshine,' fans got an episode that was typical of what we've seen during its second season: some small story arcs were tied up, but it was mostly just the usual vignettes of a day or two in the life of the Cul-de-sac Crew. It just happens to be around Valentine's Day.

Ellie, for instance, says she hates Valentine's Day, but she always loves it when the showman in Andy comes out. Kirsten wants a sexy photo of Travis, and he reluctantly obliges, somehow managing to involve both his parents in the photography session.

But the main "plot" of this episode is Jules' attempt to try to get Grayson to open up. It's a scene that we likely wouldn't have bought if it came a year ago, but now that we've spent a year and a half with this group, it now feels completely natural.

Yesterday, we reported that Charlie Sheen could be reporting back to work within the next couple of weeks. Today, we hear that the rehabbing star is feeling contrite. Sort of.

In a statement released to the media by Sheen's publicist, Stan Rosenfeld, the actor said: "I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people. I want to say thank you to my fellow castmembers, the crew of 'Two and a Half Men' and everyone at CBS and Warner Bros., especially [CBS CEO] Les Moonves and [Warner Bros. TV President] Bruce Rosenblum for their concern and support."

Comparing himself to another infamous Hollywood hellraiser, Sheen continued: "And to my fans, your good wishes have touched me very much. Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion, I just want to say, 'thank-you'."

Though the 'Live to Dance' (Wed., 8PM ET on CBS) "experts" praised all six finalists, they seemed particularly enthralled by the last act: D'Angelo and Amanda, who'd won a spot in the finals thanks to America's votes. The young duo danced a near-flawless Tango.

"You are the future of ballroom dance!" exclaimed choreographer Travis Payne, after he and the other two judges gave them the evening's second standing ovation. But it's up to America to vote for the winner of the show (and $500,000), to be revealed in next week's episode. Who gets your vote?

It's been a fantastic week for 'NCIS.' First, the veteran procedural drama notched up record ratings Tuesday night for the second time this season. Now, comes news that CBS has officially renewed it for a ninth season.

According to deadline.com, 'NCIS' is the first CBS drama to be officially renewed for the fall 2011 season. CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said, "It's simply amazing that a show in its eighth season continues to perform at such an elite level." She went on to thank the drama's "incredibly devoted fan base ... for their passion and commitment."

News of the renewal came in the wake of star Mark Harmon (Special Agt. Gibbs) signing a new two-year deal to stay with the show. Unlike his co-stars, who last year were involved in protracted contract negotiations with producers, Harmon has signed his deal ahead of schedule.

It seems everyone -- including those who never watch 'The Office' -- knows Steve Carell is leaving the show. And everyone has an opinion on who should replace Michael Scott as the boss. But Mindy Kaling's contract also ends with the 2010-2011 season, and who won't miss Kelly Kapoor's self-absorbed melodrama?

"My contract's up at the end of this year, too, but I guess because Steve's a movie star, people care more about that than they do about me leaving," she chuckled on 'Lopez Tonight' (weeknights, 12AM ET on TBS). Where will she go next -- late-night TV, perhaps? "I'll write jokes for you," Kaling (who's written for 'The Office') told George Lopez. "You take me to a Lakers game, I'll do whatever you want." Careful there, Mindy!

Jimmy Kimmel really enjoyed 'True Grit.' "Hailee Steinfeld is terrific in the movie. Jeff Bridges, unbelievable. Matt Damon was alright," he joked to their costar Josh Brolin on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (weeknights, 12AM ET on ABC).

Brolin went along, saying, "I understand why he didn't get nominated, but that's alright." He then recounted how he would mercilessly tease Damon as he got into character before each scene.

On 'The Daily Show' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on Comedy Central) Matthew Perry and Jon Stewart reminisced about how they met, 15 years earlier, when Perry was a guest on a talk show Stewart was doing for Paramount.

"I remember way back when, you asked me if I could potentially set you up with Jennifer Aniston," Perry brought up.

"Yes," Stewart said, laughing.

"Which I thought it was funny because I couldn't even get a date with Jennifer Aniston."

['Top Chef All Stars' - 'An Offer They Can't Refuse']

Nine chefs remain and 'Top Chef All Stars' is winding into the late innings. Things are getting tight and it's harder and harder to eliminate these contestants.

Fashion designer Isaac Mizrachi was a guest judge for the Quick Fire Challenge. Since it was Fashion week in New York, the theme of the challenge was inspiration. However, in what has to be the dumbest challenge of all time, the chefs were told to design a dish that would not be tasted.
