OMG TV: John Oliver narrates my life

Keeping it light, I’m at a nerd conference so I should really be paying attention to what’s going on.

8:00 - American Gladiators (NBC)

Husbands vs. Wives.  Sigh.  Is there no dumb reality convention Gladiators won’t touch?  Next week: Wolf and Titan swap wives and Hellga votes herself off.

8:00 - Top Gear (BBC America)

I’m starting to become a total BBC America addict.  Top Gear is the funniest magazine show on television (soon to be butchered by Adam Carolla), Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares is way more tolerable than Hell’s Kitchen, and by God that’s John Oliver’s sexy voice serenading me during station commercials.  What a delight.

9:00 - I Love the New Millennium (VH1)

VH1 was faced with doing either I Love the Nifty 50’s or this, and I guess they made the correct decision.  Of course, I predicted this several years ago…

Late Night

Will Smith freshens up Letterman, Jonah Hill is increasingly disturbing looking on Conan, David Hasselhoff eats a sandwich on Ferguson, James McAvoy is hoisted by his nipples on The Daily Show, Barbara Ehrenreich is somebody I don’t know on Colbert, and Leno’s on vacation.
