Work It (ABC) – Just for fun, I Googled “‘Work It’ + review” a minute ago. HOO BOY. TV critics are absolutely taking a flamethrower to this show. Seriously, I might watch it just out of morbid curiosity. (NOTE: Do not do this if you are a Nielsen viewer. I will LITERALLY kill you.)
The Biggest Loser (NBC) – Season premiere. If you were wondering if the title of this show still makes me laugh after years and years on the air, the answer is a definitive “Yes.”
NCIS/NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS) – Mark Harmon and LL Cool J get lifetime passes for their involvement in Summer School and the song “Hey Lover,” respectively. Everyone else is on their own.
Celebrity Wife Swap (ABC) – Hand to God, this is what is happening on this show tonight: the wives of Gary Busey and totally-not-gay-ok-maybe-a-little-gay minister Ted Haggard are swapping places. Jesus Mighty. If only for this one episode, the title of this show should be changed to “The Most Patient and Understanding Women Alive.”
Chopped (Food Network) – For the entrée round, the chefs must cook “a meat with a peculiar name.” Like what, D’Brickashaw?
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Everyone is back tonight and most of them have decent guests, but HOLY CRAP listen to this lineup on Leno tonight: Whitney Cummings, Snooki, and musical guest will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. This is the most Leno lineup imaginable. Like, if you figured out a way to concentrate all the years of all the shows he has done into a test tube of 100% Leno extract, this is what you would get. It is the weaponized DERP of late night talk shows.

Let’s play that game with other shows:
Letterman: Regis Philbin, Charles Grodin, Warren Zevon
Conan: Will Ferrell, Norm MacDonald, Beck
Conan: Will Ferrell, Reggie Watts, White Stripes.
Letterman: Madonna, Howard Stern, Ryan Adams
Fallon: Donald Glover, Mario Batali, Justin Timberlake
Kimmel: Who knows, Bill Simmons, Adam Carolla and Sarah Silverman?
I reject any Letterman lineup that doesn’t include Brother Theodore’s corpse.
Kimmel is obviously Ben Affleck, etc.
I’m guessing that will also be one of Leno’s highest rated shows of the last five years.
“weaponized DERP” = awesome
It’s going to be my personal mission to use “weaponized DERP” at minimum once per day from now until the day I die.
I dunno, Cummings at least has remnants of an edge from her roast experience. In order to maximize Lenoisrm, I’d swap her our for a shitty male comedian, either older and washed-up or popular with Red State America. Someone like Paul Reiser or Larry the Cable Guy.
/shivers
Fair point, but one thing Cummings has over Larry the Cable Guy is that she gives Leno the chance to shamelessly promote NBC in the process. HE’S JUST A COMPANY MAN, GUYS.
Jerry Seinfeld? A rich guy who was last relevant a decade ago, has done sod all since, yet is treated like a God by Leno.
HE’S JUST A COMPANY MAN, GUYS.
To the end.

I dunno’, I think that the most Leno-y comedian would be Jeff Dunham.
Replace “hey lover” with “mama said knock you out” or the underrated “big ol’ butt” and I’ll agree with ya.
Dude. Boyz II Men didn’t appear on either of those songs. Your logic is flawed.
Wait, Gary Busey is MARRIED? To what? An imaginary advice-dispensing viking squirrel?
Jake Busey wasn’t hatched in a lab. Despite all appearances.
Also: I can’t help it: I love The Biggest Loser. Something about watching them fatties cry just gets me every time. I generally feel like I have pretty good TV taste (Breaking Bad, Always Sunny, Community, etc.), but something about Biggest Loser just appeals to me.
Some days I’m still surprised the Leno isn’t on CBS.
Hey, that Leno lineup is no Patrick Duffy and Joey Lawrence.
Those two girls in the banner pic are pretty hot.
” Everyone is back tonight and they all have decent guests”
annndddddddd…
I fixed that, but cut me a little slack here. I was BLINDED by how bad that lineup is.
GUIDED BY VOICES ON LETTERMAN.
Please tell me there’s at least one other GbV fan on WG…
Let’s Go Eat the Factory was kind of meh.
I dunno, I liked it a bunch. It’s no Bee Thousand or Alien Lanes, but few albums are.
Don’t worry, Josh, there’s at least a few hot freaks around here.
I’ll catch you guys later. I’m off to go kick some elves.
Where were you all when I made a “Game of Pricks” joke when “Game of Thrones” came out and received nothing but crickets in response? Where?!
Luckily, I am a scientist with bulldog skin.
FINE, ABC, FINE. I’ll watch “Wife Swap.” But only this once.
Over Christmas break, my dad saw a commercial for the show and immediately asked, “What would marry Gary Busey?” After a lengthy* debate, we came to the conclusion that it was probably like that old “SNL” sketch where Christopher Walken is married to a bobcat.
* length of commercial break
Was hoping the Hollywood arsonist wouldn’t have been caught until he got through Leno’s garage
Was hoping the Hollywood arsonist would be caught and revealed to be Jay Leno.
I don’t know why, but I F’n love Chopped.
I respect Danger’s restraint in posting a YouTube clip featuring Boys II Men, or one withThe Monstars.
How dare no one announces that Judy Greer is on Conan tonight! She’s like Alison Brie’s much older but still hot sister. (She also is Cheryl from Archer)
