TV It’s On TV Tonight!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Thu, Feb 1 at 5:22 PM

Right. This is what you’ll be watching:

8:00 NBC THE OFFICE

Acting on bad advice from his friend Todd Packer (David Koechner), Michael (Steve Carell) brings two “adult” performers into the office -a stripper and Ben Franklin — in honor of Phyllis’s (Phyllis Smith) wedding shower. Meanwhile Karen (Rashida Jones) confronts Pam (Jenna Fischer) about her past with Jim (John Krasinski).

OOOH! Pam and Karen catfight! (Plus I love anything with a Ben Franklin impersonator.)

10:30 COMEDY CENTRAL THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM

Sarah plays a character named Sarah Silverman whose absurd daily life is told through an array of scripted scenes and song. In each episode, Sarah manages to fall into unique, sometimes unsettling and always hilarious predicaments, with her sister (played by real-life sister Laura Silverman), her geeky gay neighbors, Brian and Steve (Brian Posehn and Steve Agee) and Officer Jay (Jay Johnston) never far from her side.

They’re leaving out the part about her having sex with God. ‘CUZ THEY’RE CHICKEN!

11:30 CBS LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN

Tonight’s episode of Late Show With David Letterman marks Letterman’s 25th anniversary as a late-night host. And for the occasion, Letterman has invited back Bill Murray, who was the first guest on the debut episode of NBC’s Late Night With David Letterman on Feb. 1, 1982.

Sigh. I am so very, very old. BUT NOT AS OLD AS DAVE!

Did I mention that Sarah also has sex with a dog?

Comments

Thanks a lot Sarah Silverman. I cancelled cable a few days ago, now I'm gonna have to go bitorrenting.

I watched Sarah Silverman's show last night and thought it was was phenomenal. OK, there were a lot of ka-ka jokes. But the humor was fresh, new, twisted. The writing was really fabulous.

It was pretty good. The Office was stellar as usual. Ben Franklin was cracking me up.

Her one song that includes a bit about how much Black guys love to call each other "Niggers" which then falls flat while these huge Blacks look at her like they would like to collapse her facial cavity while pulling a train on her is truly priceless. C'mon, guys, it's just a joke, all in good fun, right....WHAM !

"I love you more than Jews love mo-ney..."

Priceless. But, then again, Lenny Bruce went there soooooo long ago...

Today we are all Kramer.

Oh yeah, and before you beat me to it,

"What the COCK is up with that shit ?"

Ah-hahahaha...
