DEAL BROKEN:  In other potential Failed Takeover Of A Canadian's Television Institution news, Tina Fey tells HuffPo she does not want to take over SNL from Lorne Michaels when he retires/dies/etc:

I feel like "SNL" is so defined by Lorne's taste and his sensibility. That's why any time people have tried to imitate the format and make their own version of it, you'll notice it never really quite happens. And I think that's because he is the center of that show, and I think it should just -- when he wants to stop, it should just stop.

TTFN:  Slate's Matthew J.X. Malady thinks it's time to get rid of sign-off lines ("Regards," "Best," etc.") in emails.

I generally only include them when it comes to dealing with relative strangers, or in emails that are of a length and structure that they function as letters. Sometimes, I'll do a vestigial "--Adam" at the end of an email, but since each email address I use pretty clearly identifies me as the sender, I recognize it's likely superfluous. You?

I'LL TAKE "TERRIBLE IDEAS" FOR $10 MILLION: It's no real surprise that Alex Trebek wants to hang it up when his current Jeopardy! contract ends in 2016, but the idea of replacing him with Matt Lauer?  Nope.  The alleged other frontrunner, Anderson Cooper, seems like a much better idea.

ETA:  Deadline indicates that Brian Williams and Dan Patrick have also been talked to.  More interestingly, they say that Jeopardy! was the number one program on all of television in NYC last night, outrating even reliable blockbuster Big Bang Theory.

TO DO BATTLE WITH THE THREE DENNIS MILLERS WHO APPEARED ON SNL:  From last night's Fallon, Three Michael McDonalds sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

AND THEN THE LIVESTREAM TURNED ITSELF INSIDE OUT: Yo La Tengo is on WFMU today from 9 a.m. -- live from Germany, for crying out loud -- playing requests in exchange for pledges. Yes, they do this annually. Yes, you will be subjected to pledge solicitations and related patter between sets. Yes, if you are at liberty, you should totally be streaming this. ...and yes, if you're rolling in dough, you should totally send them some.

ETA: You may need WinAmp for the livestream, if you don't have iTunes on your comp. I did. Windows Media Player didn't want to play it. WinAmp was a quick install, but there were a ton of seeming bloatware and optional "services" to de-select. So, watch for that.

NOTHING BEATS ROCK:  How to win at rock-paper-scissors.

BOMB, SHELLED:  NBC is moving Smash to Saturday nights at 9pm, in a slot currently occupied by Chicago Fire reruns in-between something called "American Ninja Warrior" and reruns of NBC's highest-rated show, Saturday Night Live. NBC promises to air all nineteen episodes.

In other Peacock news, Vince Vaughn joins Melissa McCarthy as an April SNL host, and based on the title of an upcoming amateurs v. pros cooking show to be hosted by Adam Richman, Dave Grohl needs to call his lawyer.
