TORTURE TV TONIGHT ON ALL THREE NETWORKS:KIMMEL,FALLON AND COLBERT FOR TWO HOURS.
Tonight,we can all sit down at 8pm and watch the networks monopolize the airwaves,with 3 anti-Trumpsters ready to demonstrate how unfunny they are.
Jimmy Fallon,Steven Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel will host a 2 hour tribute to health care workers by telling Trump jokes,introducing commie singers and other "entertainers".
Fallon is a horrible host,Kimmel not bad,when he stays away from politics--but he doesn't. Colbert is just plain annoying.
I'll watch Columbo.

TCM's Film Noir of the Week Saturday Night-Sunday Morning at 12:15 am ET and 10 am ET is Wicked Woman (1954) with Beverly Michaels, Richard Egan, Percy Helton, Evelyn Scott, Robert Osterloh, directed by Russell Rouse.

Film Noir Guide: "Michaels, the new femme fatale in town, is down on her luck and looking for a job. She finds one as a barmaid in a local establishment owned by alcholic Scott and her bartender husband (Egan). With her blonde hair, tight skirts and long, sexy legs, Michaels is soon hit on by almost every man in the joint. She handles THEM with ease but has a difficult time keeping her eyes and hands off the muscular Egan. It isn't long before they're involved in a steamy affair under Scott's inebriated nose. Michaels wants her new lover to sell the bar to Osterloh and carry her off to Mexico, the place of her dreams, but Egan knows that Scott won't part with the place. They concoct what seems like a foolproof plan to overcome that little obstacle. but Helton, Michaels' toady next-door neighbor, gets wise to their plans and blackmails her into a romantic relationship. This is a fun outing with B movie icon Michaels a joy to watch as she provocatively slinks and wiggles her impressive body for the camera (even when she's alone in her room!). Veteran character actor Helton steals the film as the lecherous little troll who finally gets what he wants and doesn't seem to care about (or even notice) Michaels' obvious disgust."
