OMG TV: A very sexy Thanksgiving
Posted by Jeff in boston legal, drew brees, hugh jackman, kanye west, monday night football, nicole kidman, omg tv, ricky gervais, ron howard
8:30 EST – Monday Night Football: Packers at Saints (ESPN)
Young Aaron Rodgers faces off against Saints stalwart Drew Brees – who, coincidentally, is this week’s member of Jeff’s fantasy impact! All I need is 6 points, Breesy. Hook a brother up.
9:30 – Ricky Gervais: Out of England (HBO)
I can’t say I was a very big fan of Gervais’ other specials (including Animals and Fame), and though this special taped at Madison Square Garden is hardly perfect, it hits more often than it misses. If that’s not a ringing endorsement, I don’t know what is.
10:00 – Boston Legal (ABC)
Gotta love themed episodes – it’s a very David E. Kelly Thanksgiving, as the Crane Poole & Schmidt crew gather at Shirley’s house to argue over who gets to have sex with the turkey. (Spoilers: Shatner chugs gravy.)
Late Night
Nicole Kidman used to be married to Tom Cruise. Compared to that, appearing on Letterman tonight should be a breeze. Kanye West also performs. Meanwhile, Leno begs Ron Howard to take off his ballcap, and Hugh Jackman is charming and Australian on Conan. Stewart and Colbert are taking the week off.
