Potentially poor taste headline joke endorsed by Billy Mays Jr.

Pitchmen

10:00 (Discovery)

The season and presumably series finale of Pitchmen caps off a day-long marathon in tribute to Billy Mays, and we’re hoping it ends with a plug for a Pitchmen DVD set for just $19.99 if you call now!

Reno 911!

10:30 (Comedy Central)

It’s time for Secret Santa in the biggest little city in the world.  Can we pause for a moment and see if anyone here has actually been to Reno?  It’s terrible.  It’s the worst.  Even Reno 911! can’t even display the full reach of Reno’s awfulness.

So You Think You Can Dance?

8:00 (FOX)

Skip this, watch Kids Can Dance, Too! Trust me.  Really.

Late Night

Jon Stewart brings on author Justin Fox, Colbert raids the Times and comes up with Nic Kristof, and rerun week includes Eddie Murphy and Angela Kinsey on Conan, Denzel Washington and the Jonas Brothers on Letterman, and Spocks collide on Fallon with Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy.

OMG TV: Kerri Strug’s website traffic puts ours to shame

9:30 – In Treatment (HBO)

TV’s most addictive nightly series is drawing to a close, and tonight we say goodbye to young gymnast Sophie. Will Paul carry her away into the sunset of sanity, Bela Karolyi style? Or is she just plain nutso?

10:00 – South Park (Comedy Central)

Tonight’s new South Park is apparently an homage to the animated flick Heavy Metal. I do not know anything about this movie, and didn’t even read the Wikipedia page I just linked to. But I mean, South Park‘s usually pretty funny, I suppose. Right? Sure.

10:30 – Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil (Comedy Central)

Caught the Donald Trump vs. Viagra episode of Black’s new show, and aside from feeling a bit too rehearsed, it was pretty damn funny. Tonight’s episode tackles the age old question: which is more evil, beer or weed? Because, you know, crystal meth doesn’t qualify because it’s good at heart.

Late Night

Personal man-crush Brian Williams is on Letterman tonight (as is the great comedienne Judy Greer), Leno is hosting John Krasinski and Joe Torre, Kimmel has John Cusack and the disgustingly virginal Jonas Brothers, and the good hosts (Conan, Colbert, and Stewart) are all still off.
