We're almost at the finish line in the week, but just getting started on TV!

Let's kick things off with 'TMZ Live' ... where Babcock and Charles talked about the latest development with Morgan Wallen -- namely, these new photos we got that place on the rooftop of the Nashville bar where he allegedly threw a chair over the edge.

Todd Chrisley is gonna have a hard time paying the 3 quarters-of-a-million dollar judgment against him while behind bars -- so says his attorney, who tells us TC's got bigger fish to fry.

The reality star's attorney, Jay Surgent, tells TMZ ... he spoke with Todd Tuesday, and it's been made clear Todd doesn't have an income right now while he's doing time in prison -- so it'll be an uphill battle figuring out a way to pay off the $755k he just got hit with.

Surgent says Todd's been deprived of his ability to work while in lock-up -- and not just that ... but there's an even bigger tab he owes somebody right now to the tune of millions.

Bobb'e J. Thompson claims Tracy Morgan mistreated him on the set of their old sitcom back in the 2000s -- alleging the dude was a straight-up bully ... all 'cause the kid was funny.

The former child actor -- who costarred alongside Tracy in "The Tracy Morgan Show" between 2003 and 2004 -- hopped on the Comedy Hype podcast to make his claims ... and he details a pretty disturbing story about how he says Morgan dealt with him back in those days.

Based on the way Bobb'e describes the alleged tale, it's a little hard to decipher if this was just a one-off, or if happened repeatedly -- but he claims Tracy had severely berated him.

Tamron Hall's show is the hottest thing on television -- and we mean that quite literally ... because a fire broke out backstage ... and forced the entire building to skedaddle.

The talk show host went live Wednesday morning in an unconventional fashion -- more somber than usual with no graphic backing her onstage ... and the reason for that is because there was an emergency on set at ABC Studios in NYC.

Check out the clip ... Hall explains a grease fire in the kitchen forced her staff and the show's audience to evacuate entirely, and brought multiple firetrucks to the scene.

El programa de Tamron Hall es lo más caliente en televisión en este momento y lo decimos literalmente, pues un incendio detrás del escenario obligó a todo el edificio a salir arrancando.

La presentadora del programa de entrevistas fue en vivo el miércoles en un look poco convencional, más sombrío de lo habitual, sin apoyo gráfico detrás de ella, y la razón fue porque había una emergencia en el set en los estudios de ABC en Nueva York.

Echa un vistazo al clip, Hall explica que un incendio en la cocina obligó a su personal y al público del programa a evacuar del lugar mientras llegaban varios camiones de bomberos.

LeVar Burton is officially in on the game ... 'cause after lengthy contract negotiations he's sealed the deal on his gig with "Trivial Pursuit," TMZ has learned.

Network sources tell us LeVar has officially locked in the deal to host and executive produce the revived version of the game show for The CW -- this after he and his team had been in negotiations with the network since last fall.

We're told LB will be in New York Thursday at the Nexstar/CW upfronts where the news will become official to the world.

El hermano de Kate Hudson dice que engañó a su esposa antes de casarse hace casi 20 años, y aunque dice que se salió con la suya en ese entonces, ya lo ha confesado todo.

El actor Oliver Hudson hizo la revelación esta semana en el podcast 'Sibling Revelry', que tiene junto a su hermana, donde explicó que no mucho antes de casarse con Erinn Bartlett en 2006, le estaba siendo infiel.

Él explica: "Cuando me comprometí, algo sucedió psicológicamente y entré en una espiral y fui infiel y estaba engañando y estaba loco. Nunca me pillaron. Le conté todo porque no podía vivir conmigo mismo y casarme y estar casado y tener hijos con este tipo de peso".

Kate Hudson's brother says he cheated on his wife before they got hitched nearly 20 years ago -- and while he says he got away with it back then ... he has since come clean.

Oliver Hudson -- an actor himself -- made the revelation this week on his and his sister's podcast 'Sibling Revelry' ... explaining that not long before he married Erinn Bartlett in 2006, he was being unfaithful.

He explains ... "When I got engaged, something happened psychologically, and I spiraled, and I was unfaithful, and I was cheating, and I was crazy. I never got caught. I told her everything because I couldn't live with myself and get married and be married and have children with this sort of weight."

Drake Bell is coming to the defense of child actors' parents whose kids might've been mistreated at Nickelodeon ... saying they too were just as exposed and naïve.

During a panel this week after a screening of 'Quiet on Set' ... DB spoke up on behalf of all the moms and dads who've been getting dragged through the coals in the aftermath of the docuseries ... with many saying they did a poor job of protecting their kids.

He says a lot of the parents who were in the mix back then were just as inexperienced as their children when it came to showbiz -- and were learning as they went too.

Drake Bell está defendiendo a los padres de los niños que podrían haber sido sufrido maltratos en Nickelodeon, diciendo que ellos estaban tan expuestos y desprevenidos.

Durante un panel de esta semana, realizado luego de la proyección de "Quiet on Set", Drake Bell habló en nombre de todas las madres y padres que han sido criticados a raíz de la docuserie por hacer un mal trabajo en proteger a sus hijos.

Él dice que muchos de los padres que estaban en el set eran tan inexpertos como sus hijos en lo que respecta al mundo del espectáculo y estaban aprendiendo sobre la marcha.

Conan O'Brien took a trip down memory lane in his return to late-night TV, telling Jimmy Fallon it felt "weird" coming back to the NBC building and joking about how Kelly Clarkson hijacked his studio.

The former host showed up Tuesday as a guest on "The Tonight Show," sitting down with Jimmy for an interview in which the comedian mostly reminisced about his time at the network.

At one point, Conan started talking about how strange it was to be back on "this floor" after hosting "Late Night" from 1993 to 2009 at NYC's Rockefeller Center. He then took the reins of "The Tonight Show" in L.A. before he was fired after just 7 months in 2010.

1:40 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... these balls do not belong to Tommy Lee.

We're told Tommy Lee had, in fact, posted this video on his socials -- but only after it was sent to him ... at which point he posted it, but deleted it a short time later. In other words, these testes aren't Tommy's ... despite the rumors that are going around.

That's one fella ruled out!

That's NOT the moon blocking the light -- one Mexican TV station's solar eclipse coverage Monday was totally nuts, as in the pair of testicles that somehow ended up on the screen ... and they might be famous!

We hope your week is speeding by .... but here are some TMZ TV hot takes if you need a little pick-me-up.

First up on "TMZ Live," Charles and Mike discuss Billy Dee Williams' surprising stance on blackface ... as the 'Star Wars' alum told Bill Maher he believes actors should be allowed to do "anything."
