Conan: Conan O'Brien The inventor of the world's first artificial, test-tube hamburger said that "it looks, feels and hopefully tastes like meat." He was immediately sued by Arby's for stealing their slogan. A high school in Arkansas is letting teachers carry concealed weapons. So now when students want to ask a question, they raise both hands. Today, after years of waiting, peace talks resumed between the Israelis and Palestinians. No, wait. I'm sorry. This cue card is from 1979. And 1984. And 1988. Late Night: Jimmy Fallon Edward Snowden, the guy who leaked all that information about the NSA, finally got to leave the Moscow airport this morning after being held there for five weeks. When asked what he wanted to eat, he said, "Anything but Cinnabon." It's rumored that AMC's show "The Walking Dead" is adding a zombie baby to the cast for next season. That's right, a drooling, hungry creature that can't talk or listen to reason — most people just call that "a baby." What's old is new: There's just something about a good mystery that gets the blood flowing. Everyone loves a "whodunnit," and some of the biggest mysteries don't come from a novelist's imagination, but from our own past. Since 2003, PBS's "History Detectives" has been diving headfirst into some of these real-life puzzlers, and after a lengthy hiatus, a new season is finally in the works. The upcoming 11th season, due to air in 2014, will be bringing a textbook-sized number of changes to the venerable series' format. Perhaps most obviously, a new historian has joined the investigative ranks. Kaiama Glover, a professor who teaches the literature of the French-speaking Caribbean at Barnard College, has come on board the revamped show, joining the returning Wes Cowan and Tukufu Zuberi. Even the show's name has been given a makeover. Now called "History Detectives Special Investigation," the new name reflects the new focus of the show. With only one story per episode (before there were typically three), each will delve into an iconic mystery found in America's past. It all sounds like a rollicking good time with the three detectives using the most high-tech tools available as they crisscross the nation uncovering clues and searching for answers. And while trying to deKaiama Glover as seen in "History Detectives" Civil War may not be quite as flashy as the latest bestselling murder mystery, the fact that these are real-life mysteries gives the show a captivating edge. Excellence awarded: In an age of on-demand videos thanks to the magic of the Internet, when anyone with a cell phone can make a video and put it online for millions to see, there's still something to be said for a slick, professionally produced music video. Music videos have a long and storied history, and once a year the TV network that helped bring them to the masses before the Internet age celebrates with a lavish awards ceremony. On Sunday, Aug. 25, the MTV Video Music Awards are taking to the airwaves in celebration of the past year's gems, and much like the Oscars or the Grammys, the stars will be coming out for a night of glamor. In a performance that's sure to delight music fans, singer-songwriter Lady Gaga will be taking to the stage at Brooklyn's Barclays Center to perform — for the first time — the new single from her upcoming album "ARTPOP." The singer of "Paparazzi" and "Poker Face" has often been controversial with her antics, but her performances on stage have always been electrifying. Although traditionally targeted at a young adult audience, the MTV Video Music Awards have something for anyone with an interest in popular music. BAA BAH!
