Tonight, all mayhem finally comes to an end as American Gladiators airs its two-hour finale tonight from 8pm. Two competitors—one among the men, and one among the women—will come out as winners, and win $100,000. Tonight's finale will feature the third semi-final round, which will determine who among the remaining semi-finalists will swing into the finals.
Will Ally Davidson, who clocked a 2:07 in the Eliminator, be able to hold on to her position in second place, or will either Abbe Dorn or Annie Castellano best it and get the chance to face Tiffaney Florentine in the women's final? Are Randee Haynes or Mike Gamble strong enough to be able to face Tim Oliphant in the men's final, or will Brick Reilly—a last-minute substitute for Alexander Coats, who left when his finger was dislocated again—be able to stand his ground? All these will be answered tonight.

To promote the upcoming release of Hellboy II: The Golden Army, the film's distributer has teamed with NBC to create promos for the movie featuring NBC show stars. These hilarious and brief clips have been airing between their hit summer series like America's Got Talent and are so unexpected that they've caught the attention of many TV viewers.
Two of the clips feature Hellboy and Chuck's Chuck (Zachary Levi) hanging out and playing video games. Seeing as how both have experience being involved with top secret government agencies, and how both are just big kids at heart, their not-so-unlikely partnership is especially amusing to watch.
