No “Louie” last week -- but the one before starred Garry Marshall as CBS exec Lars Tartigan (Les Mooves crossed with Brandon Tartikoff?), who wanted CK to take over the retiring David Letterman’s 11:35 p.m. slot – if they decide Jerry Seinfeld isn’t too expensive. Leno’s in tonight’s episode. Is Letterman? Is Seinfeld? Is a bitter Craig Ferguson?
“Louie” is not the most predictable show, but I predict Louie will be put through hell, then Letterman will decide he doesn’t want to retire after all.
On Wednesday’s “Big Brother” rocker Jenn got the boot and Last Girl Standing Danielle became the season’s almost-last HoH. Which is still bad news for Danielle since no woman has even won the game sitting next to a fellow. Also the HoH is kind of the least powerful player this week.
If one of the remaining three males wins the veto, that contestant decides alone who will join Danielle in the Final Three.
Tonight’s episode should (following a glimpse inside the jury house) conclude with an endurance competition that will stretch well into the night. If Ian can win tonight’s veto competition (the only way I think he can hope to stay in the house tonight), I predict he will also win tonight’s HoH competition.
Sunday’s show is almost certainly a recap special. Wednesday’s show is the 90-minute season finale.

MTV’s Music Video Awards was last Thursday’s top-rated show but garnered less than half the audience it did last year. Was Kevin Hart not a big enough name? Was the move from Sunday to Thursday a misstep? Have people stopping watching music videos?
"Big Brother's" ratings conttinue to climb as we head toward next Wednesday's season finale:
