-- Together again: Comedy legends Carol Burnett and Tim Conway will guest star on the TV Land series "Hot in Cleveland" in an episode currently scheduled to air in August.

Burnett will play Victoria's (Wendie Malick) mother, Penny, a local TV legend and puppeteer on a children's program. Conway will make his return to the series as Nick, Elka's (Betty White) ex-boyfriend, but this time around, Nick has his heart set on Penny.

Burnett and Conway are the latest in a long line of extraordinary guest stars who have appeared on the sitcom, including Regis Philbin, Mary Tyler Moor and Heather Locklear.

-- Talk, talk, talk: The Esquire Network -- the new name for G4 -- has secured cable television rights to NBC's late-night talk show, "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

Starting April 24, episodes will air at 7 p.m. weekdays one week after they first premiere on NBC.

"Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" joins previously announced series, including originals "Knife Fight" and "The Getaway," along with "Parks and Recreation" and "Party Down," as part of Esquire Network's new programming lineup beginning April 22.

-- Animated effort: "Henry Hugglemonster," a new animated series about a family of fun-loving monsters, will premiere at 5 p.m. April 15 on Disney Junior.

Based on the book series "I'm a Happy Hugglewug" by award-winning children's book author/illustrator and Ireland's Children's Laureate Niamh Sharkey, the series follows the adventures of 5-year-old Henry Hugglemonster, the middle child in a happy, close-knit monster family, as he shares everyday life lessons that are relatable to children ages 2-7.
