OMG TV: Sweet Caroline
Posted by Josh in american idol, Iron Man, Neil Diamond, Reaper, Schweddy
There, now you’ve seen everything you need to see in
8:30 pm EST – Saturday Night Live: The Best of Alec Baldwin (NBC)
But I may tune in anyway and marvel at why no one realized his comedic potential long before 30 Rock.
8:00 pm EST - American Idol (FOX)
I know, I know, but my new roommate loves Idol and as a result I have been watching for the first time ever. It is actually pretty good! At least, I can see why it is a cultural juggernaut. Tonight is Neil Diamond night, which means The Diamond Cutter himself will be on hand to coach the contestants in his songs. Will the person who gets “Sweet Caroline” wear a Red Sox hat? Maybe a surprise appearance from David Spade? Can’t we think of a better nickname for Neil?
9:00 pm EST – Reaper (CW)
So it wasn’t until doing today’s OMG TV that I realized Reaper was even back on the air. Man that show is going to get canceled. Apparently I only missed one episode, but still, if I forgot about it then who could possibly be watching this thing. Check it out — please? This guy is awesome as the devil. And this girl is really hot as the annoying best friend/love interest.
Late Night
Letterman has Robert Downey Jr and Leno has Dr. Phil, there might have been a hilarious joke about those two guests 10 years ago, but now Downey has his shit together and is a much more boring interview. Furguson has Kathy Griffin and Conan has Jeff Garlin (imagine that baby? ewww). And finally, Stewart has Newt Gingrich and Colbert has Anne Lamott.
