What to Watch…Monday, January 7, 2008

Say GMMR, why are you posting Monday’s ‘What to Watch’ list when it’s only Sunday evening? Well, (insert reader name here), I have to get up super early in the morning to head down to NYC and I just know that there is no way I’m going to get up that much earlier just to post the ‘What to Watch’ list, so I thought early is better than never, no?

So here we go. The big TV news for me is the return of THE DAILY SHOW and THE COLBERT REPORT who come back to Comedy Central for the first time in two months. Neither show will have writers, and unlike the other late night shows, their traditional format doesn’t rely heavily on in-house interviews. I have no idea how they are going to pull this off, but I’m intrigued to find out.

Check out what are sure to be a ‘historical’ episode of THE DAILY SHOW, Monday at 11pm on Comedy Central. And stay tuned right after for a new episode of THE COLBERT REPORT at 11:30pm.

As for your primetime lineup, well there’s some news there too. A few new eps for you to check out.

Be my Friend? As always, GMMR’s daily “What to Watch” is powered by MeeVee’s interactive TV listings. Wondering if you’ll help me out with something.  I’ve just registered over at MeeVee but I don’t have a lot of friends to talk TV with over there.  Will you register and add me as your friend? (username: GMMR).  Thanks!!!

What are YOU watching tonight?
