7:30 - NBA Draft (ESPN)
I guess you could watch the NBA Draft, but frankly, I’m not sure why you’d want to. Why not watch some more excellent George Carlin standup? HBO2 has it on from 8 until the wee hours.
8:00 - Batman Begins (FX)
Christian Bale says he’s willing to play Bruce Wayne in dinner theater into his fifties. I want to know: are those tickets available for preorder?
10:00 - I Love the New Millennium: 2007 (VH1)
Hey, remember last year? More importantly, why would you want to?
Late Night
An Olsen is on Dave, I refuse to repeat my nipple hoisting joke for James McAvoy being on Ferguson, Ted Koppel is on the Daily Show, and Rep. Robert Wexler is on Colbert.
Monday, June 23, 2008
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.
