Up All Night: Scoop on season 2 from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos

Here's some scoop on Up All Night from Kristin Dos Santos' Spoiler Chat Daily for Wednesday 9/12/12.  
 

 Stella: Any scoop on Up All Night? I think it's so underrated and I'm obsessed with Christina Applegate!
You'd be hard pressed to find someone who wasn't obsessed with Christina Applegate. We were recently on the set of Up All Night, and Christina talked to us about the show having a different feel in season two. "We're unemployed. It doesn't change the dynamic so much because I think that the Ava show was kind of a different show and I think the stuff that really worked was when we were in our relationships," Applegate tells us. "You guys get to see the people as the people and not have this workplace taking us away from that. That is really what is happening."

Will & Grace’s Sean Hayes will join the NBC sitcom’s upcoming second season as an accompanist who worked with Maya Rudolph’s Ava during her music recording days, TVGuide.com reports. His multi-episode arc will have him palling around with the audacious Ava front woman, whose show-within-a-show we’ll see far less of (according to The Huffington Post) as the comedy moves toward telling more stories about Reagan, Chris and Amy at home.

Carla, in Miami: Up All Night makes me happy. Please make me happy. 
Well, here's a little jolt of happy for ya! We told you waaaay back in November that the oh-so-lazy Megan Mullally would be coming to to guest star and in the second to last episode of the season, she'll arrive with a bang! Mullally plays Shanya, a rival talk-show host who once was Ava's protégé. We'll be seeing these queens of comedy at an over-the-top crazy party surrounded by "silver-fox" Asian men wearing nothing but some very fancy boxers. Ooh la la! Oh and these fellas will also be singing along to Lady Gaga's hit song "Poker Face." If this scene doesn't get your body tingling in all the right places, then you're in desperate need of a check-up.

Question: Any idea how long Jason Lee is going to stick around on Up All Night? I love having him on my television again. —Tabitha

Thing is, Jess’ new guy is as dull as his abs are defined.

Up All Night gets two more episodes from NBC-From Inside the Box-Zap2it

"Up All Night" has already been picked up for a full season on NBC. Now that season is getting longer.

The network has asked for two more episodes of the show, which stars Christina Applegate, Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph. That brings its total for the season from 22 to 24.

"Up All Night" is moving to Thursdays after "The Office" in January, and the additional episodes will add to the number of originals available in the higher-profile timeslot. It's also another vote of confidence for the show, which has been among the few semi-bright spots for NBC so far this season.

Although its ratings are hardly world-beating -- it's averaging 6.24 million viewers and a 2.6 rating among adults 18-49 -- the show has improved on NBC's season-ago numbers in its current timeslot (8 p.m. ET Wednesdays). The series it's swapping time periods with, "Whitney," draws 5.53 million viewers and a 2.7 in the 18-49 demographic.

Wednesday's (Nov. 23) "Up All Night," meanwhile, features a second appearance by guest star Jason Lee as Ava's (Rudolph) new boyfriend, Kevin. In the clip below, he and Chris (Arnett) discuss the relationship -- and why it's important to keep the baby wipes box closed.

This article was written by Rick Porter.

Molly Shannon to Guest Star on Up All Night Season 1-TVLine

Up All Night is staging a Saturday Night Live reunion this fall between funny ladies Maya Rudolph and Molly Shannon.
 
Shannon is set to bring the laughs on a November episode of the freshman NBC comedy, playing an “incompetent associate producer” on Ava, the talk show hosted by Rudolph’s Oprah-like character. (SNL vet Will Forte guest-starred on Up All Night earlier this season, yet sadly didn’t interact onscreen with his former castmate.)

TV Guide Magazine first reported this casting news.

Up All Night: Jason Lee to Woo Maya Rudolph

This isn’t the first time Rudolph and Shannon have collaborated post-SNL. Rudolph dropped by Shannon’s short-lived Kath & Kim sitcom back in 2008. (Here, the two enjoy a mutual lovefest.)

Shannon — who most recently filled a vacant seat over on CBS’ The Talk — enjoyed a brief stint on Glee last season, playing Sue Sylvester’s nemesis.

Jason Lee on My Name Is Earl Movie: "It's Time!"-E! Online

Jason Lee isn't just romancing Maya Rudolph on NBC's Up All Night these days. He's ready to get down to business and finish that dang list Earl Hickey started so many years ago!

We hit the set of Up All Night to get scoop on what's ahead from Will Arnett, Christina Applegate and Jason (more on that later), and Jason revealed that he's been talking with My Name Is Earl boss Greg Garcia about a movie (big or teeny-tiny screen) wrapping up the story...

"I definitely see it happening," Jason told us of an Earl finale feature. "It's time! We have to finish the list which we never got to do, so it's sort of just floating out there in limbo somewhere incomplete."

My Name Is Earl (also starring Jaime Pressly) was canceled after four seasons on NBC, and the final episode last May ended with "To Be Continued..."

Jason says Earl's boss Greg Garcia (who now runs Fox's Raising Hope) is on board with making a wrap-up feature happen. "I've talked to Greg and even if we have to get a small guerrilla crew together and kind of make our own thing and put it on the internet, we definitely want a closing. Whatever we can do to sort of finish the list, I feel it in the air, it's time. A movie? Fantastic."

On Up All Night, Jason cozies up to Maya's character Ava, and Christina tells us Jason is "incomparable" and the perfect man for Ava: "He is rugged and grounded and kind and I think he is going to be able to spar with her really well."

Up All Night airs Wednesdays on NBC.

Fall TV: NBC Grants Full-Season Orders to Up All Night and Whitney-TVLine

Following in the footsteps of Fox, which last week demonstrated its love for the New Girl, NBC on Tuesday morning became the second network to pull the trigger on a full-season order. In fact, the Peacock unleashed a pair of ‘em, granting pick-ups to the freshman comediesUp All Night, starring Christina Applegate and Will Arnett, and Whitney, which is fronted by stand-up comedienne-turned-sitcom queen Whitney Cummings.

“We made comedy an important goal for us this season and I’m very pleased to be making full-season commitments to both Whitney and Up All Night,” NBC entertainment chair Robert Greenblatt said in a statement. “We’re thrilled with the creative direction of both shows as well as the potential for them to continue to build loyal audiences over the coming months. We’re proud of all of the producers, writers, actors, and directors who have worked so hard to bring these shows to life.”

At last tally, Up All Night had settled in at 5.34 million viewers and a 2.1 demo rating in its Wednesday lead-off spot, while Whitney (with 5.37 mil/2.5) dropped 21 and 24 percent, respectively, in its plum aprés-Office berth.

Shortly after the pick-up news was announced, TVLine learned that on the flip side of things, NBC has cancelled The Playboy Club.

Fall TV Preview: We're Losing Sleep Over How Much We Like Up All Night-E! Online

Dear TV gods, please do not let Will Arnett and Christina Applegate's new NBC comedy Up All Night go the way of their most recent (short-lived) TV projects.

We need this show. We need them on our TV sets. And we're kind of in love with them as parents—or rather, make that endearingly flawed parental train wrecks. Who do karaoke. And drink. And use phrases like "mug of butt."

Dear everyone else: If you don't have an obsession with Arnett or Applegate, and/or you're not a new parent yourself, you may be wondering if this show is for you. Well, here is your answer:

MORE: GET ALL THE FALL TV PREVIEWS WE'VE DONE SO FAR

Yes.

Read on to find out why!

Up All Night
Time-Slot Competition: Survivor (CBS), The X Factor (Fox), The Middle (ABC), H8R (CW)
Cast: Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph, Nick Cannon
Status: We just watched the new, final version of the pilot with the addition of Cannon

Like the awesomeness that is Raising Hope, Up All Night is a "baby show" in which you rarely see the actual baby. No Olsen-twin type cutesiness here. Just some good solid belly laughs and a few heart-tugging moments courtesy of this new little bundle, including the show's opening scene in which married couple Christopher (Will) and Reagan (Christina) find out they're gonna have a baby and completely freak out. (Then come to terms in a very funny way.)

The story then picks up after the baby (Amy) is born, when Reagan is returning to her job as a daytime talk show producer—Maya Rudolph plays the daytime queen and Nick Cannon her sidekick. (In the original pilot, Maya's and Christina's characters worked at a celebrity publicity firm; the change open ups the workplace storyline, giving it new energy.)

While Will Arnett has already totally nailed the wacky character-actor thing (Arrested Development, 30 Rock, anyone?), even you longtime fans may find his new role on Up All Night refreshing. It's Will's first straight-man gig, and he's a pretty relatable and solid father at that. Even better? His chemistry with Christina Applegate is palpable, and Christina is as charming, self-deprecating and funny as always. The casting could not be better.

And of course, the masterminds behind this series aren't too shabby either: Saturday Night Live executive producer Lorne Michaels and creator Emily Spivey (Parks and Recreation, SNL). Applegate is also a producer on the show.

"I read the script and I really laughed because it was dangerous," Applegate tells me. "It's about a kid and the parents but it's like, 'Who are these people? They might mess a lot of things up.'"

And Arnett insists this show isn't just for new moms and dads.

"Emily Spivey wrote the show as very real and very accessible," Arnett explains. "If you happen to have young children, you'll relate—but also, it is real legit funny. And it has heart."

Which might explain why even on the third viewing of Up All Night's pilot episode, we can't make it past the final two minutes without choking back tears.

Final Verdict: Will Arnett + Christina Applegate + solid writing + an adorable little baby you can totally ignore if you want to = win.
