Some might see the low-rated but award-winning “American Crime” getting canceled after Season 3 as a tragedy — but Felicity Huffman appreciates the time they got. “It’s unbelievable that [ABC] did it for three years,” she told IndieWire. “It wasn’t just like, ‘We tried it for a year. Oh, it didn’t work.’ They invested and they also gave John Ridley and Michael McDonald carte blanche. The suits never showed up to go, ‘Wait a second. Can’t you be wearing a bikini, and where’s the car chase?'”
That quality is what made “Crime” stand out amongst broadcast offerings, Ridley and McDonald bringing premium cable drama style to each season of the anthology series. All three installments enlisted a high caliber of talent, including Lily Tomlin, Timothy Hutton and Regina King, to tell three different stories about the damage we do to each other and the underlying issues that contribute to that.

If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" comes out this weekend, so naturally Jimmy Fallon sent one of his "Tonight Show" writers to the streets of New York City to see if people noticed him mispronounce the movie's name. Who knew it's actually "The Humping Stains" that's opens this weekend?!
Padma Lakshmi stopped by "The Tonight Show" to give Jimmy some tips about hosting a Thanksgiving party. Her expert wisdom includes soaking your turkey in buttermilk, and immersing the legs and thighs. Sounds like a day at the spa.
Over on "Late Night," Keira Knightley spoke to Seth Meyers about Benedict Cumberbatch's army of Cumberbitches, and what it was...

Let's kick things off with a game of Facebreakers! Matthew McConaughey (star of the McConaissance) hit up "The Tonight Show" to throw around a football with Jimmy Fallon. The catch? They threw said football at photos of their faces.
Matthew also told Jimmy all about the mystery of why he didn't clap when his name was called at The Oscars, and instead sat in his seat staring vacantly at the ceiling. Turns out there's a very specific reason....
Eva Longoria swung by "Late Night" and chatted about her stint on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," where she had a major make out session with Andy Samberg. Apparently, she accidentally bit him to...
