Watch the star-studded premiere of 'Ausiello TV'!

Jul 11, 2008, 01:09 PM | by Annie Barrett

Categories: 'Project Runway', 'Ugly Betty', An EW Exclusive!, From Our Staffers, Muppets

You may not know it if you arrive here every day via a PopWatch bookmark (holla), but EW.com has a new guy! Michael Ausiello's been breaking exclusive TV scoops on his very own EW.com blog, and today marks the premiere of his new video series, Ausiello TV. Watch for some hot cameos by today's most important A-list celebrities, like Michael Slezak, Kristen Baldwin, and yours truly, "Felicia." (Okay, fine, plus some people who are on real television. Ugly Betty and Project Runway fans, YOU'RE NOT EVEN READY.) Enjoy!

Okay, I get it. Michael is good. But has anyone else noticed....where the heck is Dalton????? His last column was April, and haven't heard anything since Survivor finale. Please don't tell me we lost him in some weird entertainment publication "trade". Cause honestly....Michael: you are no Dalton Ross.

Thank God Annie put the new kid in his place - I was starting to worry that EW.com was just handing the keys over to the new guy and blowing off our favorites. (And she was watching Maks - awesome!!)

That's how web browsers work.

No matter what I click on to read in popwatch, the browser takes me right here. What shameless self-promotion for a not great video.

I LOVE KELLY BISHOP!!!!!!

That was amazing!!!! Michael you rule welcome to EW I can't wait to see what you have in store...Mariska cameos perhaps?

Hilarious! Love you, love the show...Emily Gilmore taking notes as Amanpour was priceless...Slezak! Representin' Idolatry...sweet...I hope you make more of these, even if you just walk the EW cubes and we can see everyone in the background playing Guitar Hero...so, does this mean you KNOW the last 4 words of GG? Spill!!!

I have to say, I did enjoy everybody else except for Ausiello, especially Miss Piggy. A Muppet sighting is almost always a good thing. And is it bad that I was totally rooting for Annie.. I mean 'Felicia' when she showed Ausiello what's what?

Matt Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 06:26 PM EST

Congratulations, EW. You hired Ausiello away and you're very excited he's here. Now please find something else to shove down our throats. I enjoyed his column in TV Guide, but this is a textbook case of overexposure...and in only a few short days.

Maybe it's me, still a little bitter over losing The Joel Stein Show. Or maybe it's just me, still a little annoyed that Uncle Stevie's faded into the background.

But please, for the love of God, take it easy.

Well, it's no ANTD (and why, exactly, was Explorita not in the press corps there? It's a missed opportunity, y'all!), but I'll probably be tuning in again, if only to figure out what all that stuff on Annie's desk is.

Nikki Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 04:07 PM EST

Anything that brings me more Slezak is a good thing.

SJ Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 03:28 PM EST

Was it sad that I knew exactly his favorite actresses in the order he said them BEFORE he said them? Or maybe it just makes me a true Aushole.

annie Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 03:07 PM EST

that was delightful. christian siriano+miss piggy=GENIUS

paige Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 02:10 PM EST

i thought that was hysterical. much love to ana ortiz!

Sailor Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 02:07 PM EST

Kelly Bishop!!!! That was great. Would your 5th favoriate actress be Mariska?

LisaM Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 01:49 PM EST

More, more, more, Michael!!!!

Heather Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 01:47 PM EST

Honestly...my favorite part was the Matt Mittovitch cameo. That was an awesome shout-out. *g* (Also, Kelly Bishop as Amanpour was priceless.)

Patty Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 01:44 PM EST

Please keep our favorite EW guest stars every week. I know them and love them (esp Felicia!). I am going to need a while to warm up to the new guy, so keep the veterans around for a smooth transition.

Kerri Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 01:25 PM EST

Annie, Michael, and Kristen collectively rock my socks off

Ceballos Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 01:23 PM EST

I'm with Kristen. I mostly just get a kick every time I see one of the Popwatch people appear in photos and videos.

Applejax Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 01:21 PM EST

Ausiello is a little less smooth on-camera then Slezak, but people...He Delivers The Goods! Ausiello is a spoiler junkie's best friend.

erik Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 01:20 PM EST

Hilarious! Maybe not the chemistry that Michael, Annie and Mandi all have together but still good. Looking forward to more!

Kristen Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 01:17 PM EST

Huh, I feel the same way- I never read Ausiello's article in TV Guide. However, any EW video that gives me Slezak, Kristen Baldwin, and a sassy Annie Barrett has my vote!

Chaddogg Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 01:10 PM EST

Hilarious. Clearly what us Ausholes were waiting for.....now can we PLEASE get the "Lostcast with Doc [Jensen] and Aus[iello]" when Lost returns in 2009?????

huh? Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 12:38 PM EST

Okay. I just don't get it. I have no idea who Michael Ausiello is and after reading one of his blogs no idea why you guys are just so darned excited to have him. It's not bad, but, really, is it so great that everytime I flip to ew.com you have to have a new Michael Ausiello announcement? And now he's got his own tv show? Did he have it written into his contract that EW had to become All Ausiello All The Time? Enough already. I get it. He's here. You're happy.
