A Dude Named Dun... It's hard to recall the days when Ryan Seacrest had a co-host on 'American Idol,' isn't it? Brian Dunkleman decided not to return to the show after the first season, underestimating the show's popularity and still kicking himself to this day for it. (Photo by Michael Buckner/Getty Images)
'Magnum' Passes ... Can you picture Tom Selleck with a whip instead of a Ferrari? He was the original actor cast as Indiana Jones in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' but when forced to choose between the film and 'Magnum P.I.,' well...you and Harrison Ford know the rest. Magnum's cool and all...but Indy's an icon! (Photos by CBS and Paramount Pictures)
Anderson Cooper ... CNN's golden boy Anderson Cooper took a career detour in 2000 when he hosted ABC's reality whodunit 'The Mole' for two seasons. It's not that he was bad--he wasn't--but even then he seemed above it...and we prefer him instead as TV's sexiest newsman. (Photo by Evan Agostini/Getty Images)
'Felicity' Cuts ... The biggest to do over a 'do, ever. Whether it was an absurd coincidence or a hair-raising truth, ratings for the WB's 'Felicity' tanked after star Keri Russell chopped off her long, curly locks for an ill-advised, unflattering boy cut. (Photo By Getty Images)
Miley Cyrus Pose... Scandal erupted when sexually suggestive photos of Disney darling Miley Cyrus were published in Vanity Fair magazine and afterward, 'Hannah Montana' ratings dropped a hefty 26% from the show's first season. (Photo by Stephen Shugerman/Getty Images)
Michael Richards... Oh, Kramer! Michael Richards became outraged when he was heckled on stage at a comedy club in 2006, and the racial slurs he spewed became an even bigger career killer than the 'Seinfeld Curse.' (Photo by Fernando Leon/Getty Images)
Kathie Lee Giffo... After 15 years of morning duty, Kathie Lee Gifford left 'Live' and Regis in 2000--and was replaced with the hugely successful (and younger and blonder and funnier) Kelly Ripa. Ouch! She now hams it up with Hoda on the fourth hour of 'Today.' (AP Photos by Shiho Fukada and Ed Bailey)
NBC Replacing Ja... NBC revealed that Jay Leno will be leaving the 'Tonight Show' on May 29, 2009, with Conan O'Brien taking over as host. While rumors persisted that Leno may jump to ABC (and take all those loyal 'Tonight Show' viewers with him), NBC recently announced that Jay Leno will get a new show week nights at 10 p.m., premiering fall 2009. Meanwhile, 'SNL's' Jimmy Fallon inherits Conan's old job hosting 'Late Night.' Do we really need three hours of late night in a row? (Photo by NBC Universal/Getty Images)
