8:00 – House (FOX)
What could be more dramatic than Dr. House and crew struggling to deal with a potentially deadly case of agoraphobia? Many things. But that’s what you get.
8:00 – Family Guy (TBS)
Two hours of it. There is nothing on TV tonight.
9:00 – Rent a movie (Netflix)
There is nothing on TV tonight.
Late Night
Letterman hosts Colbert-rival Don Rickles, John McCain shows up on Leno to ask if he’s President yet, Seth Green wanders over to Conan from this week’s Entourage, Thomas Friedman test drives a hybrid-electric moustache on the Daily Show, and Sacramento Mayor-Elect/ex-Sacramento King Kevin Johnson dribbles over to Colbert.

8:00 – Animal House (AMC)
My single biggest regret from college, honestly, is not getting to know a cool professor, particularly one like Donald Sutherland in Animal House. And not just because that dude had some chill grass.
9:00 EST – NBA Finals Game 6 (ABC)
It’s back in Boston, baby, and I bet you this entire blog that the Celtics put it away. (Don’t tell Josh.)
10:00 – 30 Days (FX)
Morgan Spurlock’s documentary series is often a great way to shed light on a group of people who I can’t stand. But tonight’s might push me over the edge: a hunting activist moves in with a PETA protester. I really honestly can’t tell who I want to be dropped down a mineshaft more.
10:00 – Jim Gaffigan: Beyond the Pale (Comedy Central)
I do a killer Jim Gaffigan impression. Particularly that bit he always does with the high pitched internal monologue of some confused prude in the audience. “What is he doing up there? I’m uncomfortable!” Trust me, it’s great.
Late Night
Might I interest you in some Steve Carrell and Lance Armstrong on Letterman? No? Then I strongly recommend Don Rickles and Charles Barkley on Leno. Not your speed? Hmm. Well, I don’t think you would like the Megan Mullally on Conan, but maybe the CBS News cutie Lara Logan on The Daily Show, or the author Jonathan Zittrain on Colbert would meet your fancy.
