It's almost time for the second and final (on purpose, British-style!) season of the David Cross-starring IFC comedy "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret," so IFC has put out some eye candy to promote it: a scene where Jon Hamm, who guest stars this season, is forced to make "'70s computer noises" for some reason, from the season's fourth episode. Bonus: Hamm must have been shooting "Mad Men" when this was filmed, because he has his Don Draper haircut, making the silliness of what he's doing even more absurd. "Margaret" returns to IFC on January 6th:

The big news yesterday was the fire alarm that went off during almost all of Tuesday evening's live broadcast of NBC's "Nightly News with Brian Williams." Last night at the end of "Nightly," Williams apologized to viewers and thanked everyone who wrote in with concern for his well-being, saying he was "trying to find the guy" responsible. Now, we know that even before BriWi joked about the fire alarm catastrophe on his show, he'd already taped a surprise segment at "The Daily Show" in which he interrupted Jon Stewart's ridiculing rant of the incident with a bullhorn "fire alarm" of his own.

After Stewart did three minutes of jabs at Williams, highlighting his deceptively affable smile throughout ("That's the I'm gonna f***ing kill someone smile. I've seen that smile.") and calling the alarm  "NBC News' worst mid-broadcast calamity since that alpaca attacked Tom Brokaw" (complete with Stewart's surprisingly okay Brokaw impression), an alarm went off just after he started calling the "Nightly" audience old ("It's like a Centrum Silver delivery system.") That was the cue for Jon to run to the kitchen, where BriWi himself waited for him with an air horn. Shouldn't Williams still be searching for the guy who let the fire alarm go off in the studio in the first place?

Those would be the seasons you might now refer to as "The Drake Years." If you want to watch the episode-closing freeze frames of characters looking relieved, aghast, aroused, despondent, terrified, mischievous, dubious...let me shorthand this and say that the full range of human emotion is played out in this supercut on a series of young Canadian actors' faces.

Serene Branson, yes, the LA reporter who gained national fame when she suffered a migraine-related word-scrambling on camera while reporting live from the Grammy Awards last February (wow, that seems like forever ago), is in a new clip that's going around. This time, she's just trying to ignore a very well-lit guy who looks as if he's come from "crazy guy, with a twist!" central casting who is yelling at her while she's waiting to report on Occupy Los Angeles. "Go shopping!": it's the thing we yell at field reporters this month:
