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.
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.

8:00 – True Hollywood Story: Hugh Hefner (E!)
Consider this a “how to” guide to becoming the coolest dude in the world.
10:00 – Project Runway (Bravo)
We’ll admit it: we’ve caught the odd episode of Project Runway. It’s pretty good if you hit mute whenever Heidi Klum starts to talk, and it even falls into our favorite category of reality shows, “Intelligent Skilled Contestants” (as opposed to the more commonplace “Dumb Fucking Contestants”). Anyways, tonight’s the season finale, so the fashion stakes will be even more fashion stakesier.
10:30 - Reno 911! (Comedy Central)
Another season finale – the Sheriff’s Department gets involved with building a border fence. Nuff said.
Late Night
Dennis Hopper, senile and lost, wanders aimlessly onto Ferguson. Stewart has reporter Martin Fletcher, Colbert’s got author Gregory Rodriguez.

9:00 – Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (Showtime)
I think 50 Cent really said it best on the commentary track for his sorta-auto-bio-pic: “Mumble mumble mumble mumble. Mumble?”
10:00 – South Park: “D-Yikes” (Comedy Central)
Not only is this how you do a 300 parody (hear that, Meet the Goddamn Spartans?), but it gave birth to the best South Park catchphrase of last season.
10:30 – Reno 911! (Comedy Central)
George Lopez guest stars as — ah, crap, I already lost your interest. Time to repeat some catchphrases from The George Lopez Show that I found on Wikipedia: “Aye, chico!” “I be like this!” “Crap!”
Late Night
Eli Manning and Vince Vaughn reenact the “Who’s the big winner?” scene from Swingers on Dave, and I have no idea what Bradley Whitford is promoting on Ferguson, but I’m hoping it’s West Wing or Billy Madison related.
