The Soup’s Joel McHale (who compared Seacrest to a Yorkie), Kourtney and super-pregnant Kim Kardashian along with mom Kris Jenner, and the irrepressible Chelsea Handler.

Netflix’s Q1 numbers are in, and the company reports that it now has 29.17 million subscribers in the US alone — that’s 2 million more than the number of subscribers the streaming video provider had at the end of 2012.

The company’s net income during Q1 was $2.6 million on revenue of $1.02 billion, the first time it’s topped the billion-dollar mark. As a result, Netflix shares, which had gone up 11 percent during regular trading on Monday, rose an additional 21 percent after the closing bell on Wall Street.
