IT'S CHRISTMAS, or I mean, basically. It's also TVgasm Tuesday, and since this is the last Tuesday before Christmas, I'm gonna give you enough TV news to tide you over for two whole weeks instead of just one.

We had one and a half finales this week: How I Met Your Mother had its two-part midseason finale, which somehow managed to answer questions without actually answering them, AND after six well-dressed seasons of emotional glaring, Gossip Girl had her series finale, finishing up with $3000 lace handkerchiefs and a surprise twist.

Also, when I think of "comedy," I totally think of Barbra Streisand yelling at Seth Rogen for several hours in a car, so when I heard about their new movie I thought "Oh of course, somebody finally made this, just in time for the world to end!" Let's face our imminent doom with TVgasm!

This Week:

Probably the best thing about the Internet is the comments section. The comments section of ANYTHING. There's always one person posting a chain letter (what is this AIM in 2004?!), and, of course, there's the always-immortal-and-ever-articulate "Wow. just wow." TVgasm's comments are just as lively: Click to read the best of 2012!

Did you stop by the TVgasm holiday party? You didn't?! It was THE social event of the season! There was boxed wine! There were miscellaneous housewives! There was even a wild Lohan sighting! Click here to get the scoop on this totally awesome party that totally happened and was real.

At a certain time, one just gets tired of denim shirts and puns, am I right? Obviously, I'm referring to Jay Leno, because I just can't bring myself to watch his show anymore. Maybe 2014 will bring a good host to the Jay Leno time slot? Click to find out who may be replacing Leno in a few years (that is, if we don't all die in 3 days, thanks Mayans).

Remember: If you're commenting on something online, let's try at least to keep it interesting. Can we put a moratorium on the "Wow. just wow" forever?

WE DIDN'T DIE IN THE MAYAN APOCALYPSE!!! HURRAY!!!

1. How appropriate that the trailer for Seth Rogen's apocalypse film This Is The End premiered so close to the end of the world.

2. Reserve Channel continues releasing the most interesting interviews I've ever seen. This week with Seth Meyers and the SNL Writers.

3. CBS renewed How I Met Your Mother, which I'm catching up on now, for a ninth season.

4. Jimmy Fallon and crew created a sequel to the classic "Who's On First?" bit and nailed it.

5. Our very own Captain Hippo put out a new Christmas sketch called The Santa Clause and like everything else Captain Hippo does, it's great.

Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. Thankful we aren't dead. Tweet me @MrChrisDonahue

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and you know what the means?  That's right: it's time to buy things and then give the things to the people that you're buying the stuff for.  It's called "gift giving" or "giving gifts" or "here, this is for you." 

In the spirit of giving, I thought I'd give you all some gift ideas!  From stocking stuffers to E-Z Bake Ovens to My Pal 2 (ill toy, yo).  And, in honor of this really cool article about the really cool TV show "Freaks and Geeks" that came out today in Vanity Fair, I am going to recommend that you buy a loved one the complete "Freaks and Geeks" DVD collection!  

Why, you ask?  It's simple.  "Freaks and Geeks" is a really, really good show that was pretty revolutionary in a lot of ways, most of which are outlined in the Vanity Fair article.  Personally, I fell in love with the characters.  Hard.  They're not caricatures. They seem like real people.

But if you're not into falling in love with fictional characters, another good reason to buy the set is that three of the show's stars - Lizzie Kaplan, Martin Starr, and Dave Krumholtz - were all in episodes of Wainy Days, a show that absolutely kicks butt and-- Hey!  Wait a minute!  I just got another idea: While you're buying the "Freaks and Geeks" DVD why don't you also pick up the Wainy Days DVD.  There's a ton of never-before-seen exclusive footage on the DVD that can't be found on the Internet, so what are you waiting for?  Read this  article, buy the DVDs, and make someone very happy this holiday season!

Hi friends! There is something that I need to tell you about: a book. Webster's Dictionary defines a "book" as a bunch of pieces of paper held together by a hard cover (I made that up).

There is a specific book that I do want to tell you about, though. It's called Funny Business: A Comedy Photo Book and it comes to you from my good buddy Seth Olenick. Seth has been photographing comedians for the past six years and now he wants to share these photos with you… in a big 'ole book!

He's taken photos of just about everyone from David Wain to A.D. Miles, from David Cross to The Sklar Brothers. Seth has photographed EVERYONE!

Help a brother out! Let's kickstart this shit!

Live* from New York... it's TVgasm Tuesday! This week, for some reason, almost every piece of news somehow deals with SNL alumni, so let's find out together how many SNL jokes I can fit into this post (my guess is zero jokes, maybe ONE joke at the most, so don't get your hopes up). First up, arguably the most loved SNL alumna, Tina Fey, talked with GQ Magazine about her new movie, Admission, and, also arguably, stole my heart. 

Reports surfaced that SNL head writer Seth Meyers may be in line to take over Jimmy Fallon's late night slot, though this decision is based on the assumption that Fallon will be  take over for Leno, and that Leno will peaceably leave the studio and not try to organize some kind of occupy protest. We already know Will Ferrell and Kristin Wiig are working together on Anchorman 2, but did you know they may be working on an indie comedy called Welcome to Me? I didn't know that, but I'm ready to throw all of my money at a movie screen in order to watch it. Sorry guys, those SNL jokes really got away from me, I'm not a machine; I'm not a magician! Let's see what TVgasm has for us:

This Week:

Are you following Amanda Bynes on Twitter? Honestly, you should follow her because she has produced some quality content and I can't wait to see what's in store for her future! Click to read some of the highlights!

There's a lot of B.S. floating around out there: The Kardashians, Tim Tebow... so much that I can't keep track of all the malarkey. Let TVgasm help you navigate through it all by featuring the "B.S. of the Day!" Click here to watch.

Remember: No matter what Amanda Bynes tweets at you (*cough Drake cough*, DON'T try to murder her lady parts. It's a trap!
