The "Next Generation" comics are John Caparulo, Reno Collier, Juston McKinney and Jamie Kaler (who's on the TBS comedy "My Boys").

MORE GOOD NEWS: Good for ABC and Barbara Walters for making Sherri Shepherd one of the new hosts of "The View."

Shepherd is funny, smart and personable.

BE AFRAID. Be very afraid. Former "Survivor" villain Jonny Fairplay (real name — Jon Dalton) and his girlfriend, "America's Next Top Model" contestant Michelle Deighton, are expecting their first child.

Despite the fact that Dalton lied to his fellow "Survivor" contestants when he told them his grandmother died during the filming of the show, he insists he's telling the truth this time around.

"Michelle and I couldn't be more happier, and I wouldn't lie about that," he told TMZ.com.

Yikes. Some people should never be allowed to reproduce.
