"Kevin Smith to follow as guest critic while Ebert recovers
LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Jay Leno will step into the critic's chair next week as he takes on guest co-hosting duties for "Ebert & Roeper."
The host of NBC's "Tonight Show" will be the first guest co-host for the syndicated movie review show while regular co-host Roger Ebert recuperates at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago after cancer surgery last month."

Posted: 7/28/06 at 2:10pmI remember after Siskel died, they had the rotating list of guest critics for a while. It was the first time I ever saw Harry Knowles. As they started the show in silhouette, I thought, "What the heck is THAT sitting next to Ebert?"

Would you rather have Beyonce Knowles?
(actually, yes)
I just wish they'd get rid of "the other guy."
Can't. Stand. Him.

Posted: 7/28/06 at 3:58pmKevin will be great -- just hope it's not distracting him from making his next movie - whatever that may be.

Posted: 7/28/06 at 3:59pmIt'll be interesting to see Kevin critique films considering he can't handle anyone criticizing himself.

Just heard the podcast of this week's show and Leno did well, I thought.
What they thought about the movies:
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Rocky Bobby - Thumbs up from both Roeper & Leno
Miami Vice - Mild Thumbs up from Roeper - Thumbs Down from Leno
Little Miss Sunshine - Big thumbs up from both Roeper & Leno
Shadowboxer - Thumbs Down from Roeper - Thumbs up from Leno (Biggest Disagreement)
The Night Listener - Big thumbs up from both Roeper & Leno

Posted: 8/20/06 at 10:32amJohn Ridley (Author of STRAY DOGS and its movie adaptation U-TURN, as well as getting his screenplay for THREE KINGS stolen by David O. Russell) replaced Ebert this week and was AWESOME! Anyone else remember his movie review show a few months back called MOVIE CLUB WITH JOHN RIDLEY? It ruled!
