What's On: New Advent of Old Coco
Now more than ever we need silly pictures of Conan. It already feels like a decade ago that NBC agreed he should entertain us on a nightly basis. Let’s shellac our pompadours and reflect on that era. During tonight’s episode, his final Tuesday on The Tonight Show, Conan welcomes two funny guys and one musical guest whose staying power is an unfunny enigma.
The New Adventures of Old Christine [CBS, 8:00 PM]
Christine’s ex-boyfriend Mr. Harris (Blair Underwood) returns, which kerfluffles her situation with new love Max (Eric McCormack). Now that Underwood has tangled onscreen with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the City season’s five and six, of course), we can declare him Emperor of Schtupping Hard-Working Ladies Who Deploy One-Liners and Harried Cynicism. I send my regrets to furiously in-denial gay men.
The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien [NBC, 11:30 PM]
Team Coco’s countdown to the armageddon continues with tonight’s episode, Conan’s last Tuesday in Leno’s once-and-future throne. As Julie Miller reported, tonight’s guests include Adam Sandler, Joel McHale, and Joss Stone. For the record: Has Joss Stone ever had a hit record? How does she sustain a career? Seems like a trick. John Legend, your interrogation is next.
American Idol [Fox, 8 PM]
The auditions continue with a stop in Orlando, where coruscating Glee guest-star Kristen Chenoweth sits in with the panel. Can’t wait to watch as scum-of-the-earth upstarts from Celebration, Florida, chime in with boy-band balladeer skills and turn Kara DioGuardi into a stack of mush. Maybe Seacrest will say something about how a bad string of contestants has turned the day into “a regular typhoon lagoon.” Puns — I always look forward to the puns.
In the Land of Women [Lifetime, 9 PM]
I enjoy a good romantic-comedy that makes no sense. This one stars Adam Brody as a soft-core porn writer in Los Angeles who gets dumped and then moves East to be near his family and meet women there. I don’t know. There’s also a scene where he goes running and crashes into a tree because he’s too full of memories. Enjoy.

Thank you. I actually just looked at the calendar to confirm.
