 New mom and Early Show anchor Julie Chen returned to the show this morning to chat with her co-anchors about the joys of motherhood.
Chen, who is married to CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves, gave birth to her first child, Charlie, Sept. 24. This was just a one-day return, we're told, as Chen continues maternity leave for a bit longer.

Ok, Al Roker as Han Solo was pretty funny. But Harry Smith as Julia Child wins today.
If you listen closely, you can actually hear a woman scream "Oh my God" in horror before he's revealed on screen.

Ahead of his Playgirl photoshoot, Levi Johnston is putting it all out for CBS' Maggie Rodriguez in an interview that airs tomorrow on "The Early Show." Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandson, says he doesn't want to hurt Palin, but he knows things that could do just that:
Maggie: But you really sound like somebody whose dead set on hurting these people the way they hurt you.
Levi: No, I'm not really in it to hurt them though.
Maggie: That's what it sounds like...somebody whose bent on revenge and getting even, now it's my turn.
Levi: Well that's part of it, I guess, but at the same time, you know, if she's going to go out there and say things to me, about me, I'm going to leak some things on her. I mean that's just how it is.

CBS' Russ Mitchell put on his comedy pants last night for open mic night at Carolines in New York for a segment that will air this morning on "The Early Show."
TVNewser caught up with Mitchell before he went on stage and he seemed less than optimistic about his first stab at stand-up comedy: "I've got a few jokes I'm gonna throw out there. And then, I'm gonna run off the stage as fast as I can."
The segment is part of a series, and Mitchell initially told producers, "I'd rather sit in a tub with alligators."
But he agreed and got some help from the Carolines staff as well as Joan Rivers. "Just being in the room with Joan Rivers was quite a treat."
His "Early Show" coworker, Dave Price, has done stand-up before, but Mitchell also said, "I think Harry [Smith] would be pretty funny. He's got a very dry sense of humor, but I think he'd get up there and just crack people up."
Mitchell's favorite comics include Jerry Seinfeld, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Lisa Lampanelli, and Susie Essman, a list that gave us no clue what to expect.
"Hopefully this is not my last day at CBS news."

The team organized by CBS news correspondent Kimberly Dozier in honor of CBS Radio News correspondent Cami McCormick raised $12,000 over the weekend, all benefiting Fisher House.
The Fisher House team participated in a 10K which was part of the Marine Corps Marathon. "My single hour-twenty or so run (at a Penguin pace, but hey, I finished, and I never stopped running) raised more than $12,000 for Fisher House," wrote Dozier in an email to colleagues.
McCormick's family has stayed at Fischer House as she recovers from serious injuries suffered in a roadside bomb attack in Afghanistan in August.
Dozier also writes that McCormick, "hopes to be transitioning out of trauma status soon, to full rehab."
Donations are still being accepted here.
