SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at the 2008 Clinton Global Initiative: Day 2 held at the Sheraton Hotel. New York City, USA - 09-25-08 |
Saturday Night Live – 11:29/10:29c on NBC
Josh Brolin hosts/plugs his new movie W. on tonight’s show. All well and good, but let’s be honest: Sarah Palin is the only person that matters right now when it comes to Saturday Night Live. There are just three SNL episodes remaining before the election, which means Tina Fey will parody Palin thrice more at most (Fey has said she’ll retire her Palin send-up following the election) and also that Palin herself will be making a cameo sooner rather than later, if there’s truth to the rampant rumors suggesting as much (and the “wink, wink” non-confirmations from both SNL and the Palin camp). Could tonight be the night that the real Palin and the fake Palin square off? Hard to say for sure, but at least there’s a reason to stay tuned past 11:35!

Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship (Series Premiere) – 8/7c on CMT
In case you were wondering where “celebrities” go when they’re too small-time for Dancing with the Stars or even a VH1 faux-ality show, this is it--although Dennis Rodman and Co. probably would’ve said yes to any CMT series. On a separate note, CMT is now officially just as much "Country Music Television" as MTV is "Music Television." How weird that MTV is CMT's parent company!
In the Valley of Elah Movie Still |
In the Valley of Elah (TV Debut) – 10/9c on Cinemax
Back when it came out in theaters, Paul Haggis’ Iraq War-related movie suffered the same unfortunate fate as its, er, comrades: It was ignored. But now that the glut of similarly themed films has died down, give Elah a fair shake and you’ll be treated to Tommy Lee Jones’ finest performance of 2007--yes, ahead of No Country for Old Men. If you don’t like it, there’s always SNL (see above) at 11:30. Sorry, I mean 11:29.
