Hollywood Execs: They're Worth Every Penny

Do we really need another show telling us to put down the Twinkies and to go for a jog? Apparently the answer is "Yes." The Hollywood Reporter provides us with the latest news:

NBC has ordered a companion series to its reality hit “The Biggest Loser” starring tough-love trainer Jillian Michaels. The network has picked up eight episodes of “Losing It With Jillian” from Reveille in association with Empowered Media.

I have this theory -- and it's only a theory -- that part of the reason Americans are so fat is they watch too much TV instead of exercising. Luckily NBC is doing their part to shove the entire country off their couch by putting on unwatchable programs like this one.

Perhaps NBC isn't so bad after all? I've lost five pounds since Leno moved to 10 p.m.
