The market free fall has been good for something other than "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and that's Comedy Central who recorded excellent opening nights for "The Sarah Silverman Program" and the best viewership ever for "The Daily Show" and "The Colber(t) Repor(t)" according to B&C. I guess we'll all be laughing when the asteroid hits.

The premieres are finally slowing down a bit but the big one tonight is Christian Slater's "My Own Worst Enemy" (NBC 10:00pm) which looks like a cosmic dud. When is the last time Christian Slater laughed? Is he relegated to forever mimicking Jack Nicholson in violent pseudo-thrillers? The dude needs to get a supporting role in a sitcom and start over a bit. Who wants to bet how many episodes before they cancel? I'm saying 4.
