There's a video circulating in which Ricky Gervais crashes a British morning show interview featuring Zach Galifianakis and Robert Downey Jr. promoting their new movie, "Due Date." The video is funny and everything, but all I could think while watching it was, "Why the blerg did Zach Galifanakis shave his head?!" Is it for a part? I will never get used to that. Apparently, Galifianakis shaved it just before his Jimmy Fallon appearance earlier this week, but the Gervais incident was my first time seeing it.

I love Louis C.K.'s stand-up, and few people are funnier talk-show guests. But I admit I was no fan of his first attempt at a television show, HBO's "Lucky Louie." I tried to like it, but the vulgarity-to-comedy ratio skewed way too far into the humorless vulgarity spectrum for me (with "humorless" being the more offensive of those crimes).

There's still plenty of vulgar humor in his new show, "Louie," debuting with back-to-back new episodes tonight on FX, but it's so perfectly balanced and so funny, that even the really squirmy parts go down easy.

Who Do You Think You Are (8pm, NBC) - In the season finale (NBC renewed the show for next season), Spike Lee traces his roots to Georgia and Texas, and makes a surprising discovery about his great-great-grandfather.

Ghost Whisperer (8pm, CBS) - A ghost tells Melinda that a nanny is evil, but you can't just take a ghost's word for something like that, so Melinda investigates for herself.

The Ricky Gervais Show (9pm, HBO) - Topics tonight include physical altercations, human anatomy, school curricula, and whistling and happiness.

20/20 (10pm, ABC) - A report on mothers with drinking problems features author Mary Karr, who wrote about her alcoholism in "Lit: A Memoir."

If you happen to love Ricky Gervais, you'll no doubt eat up his latest project, "The Ricky Gervais Show," a new animated series premiering tonight on HBO. The show is built around a string of popular podcasts featuring Gervais, his longtime collaborator Stephen Merchant, and their dim friend Karl Pilkington.

In the show-slash-podcasts, the three men sit around and have random, pointless debates about topics such as the necessity of modern inventions and monkeys in space. That may sound boring, but Pilkington is so genuinely and earnestly ridiculous, and Gervais and Merchant are so brilliant at making fun of his absurdity, that the show is quite funny from start to finish.

Winter Olympics (NBC) - Figure skating, alpine skiing, ski jumping, and skeleton (left), which I have never seen. That will change tonight. Full schedule.

Bang For Your Buck (9:30pm, HGTV) -  Designer Vern Yip evaluates three kitchen remodels in Raleigh.

Ricky Gervais Show (9pm, HBO) - The series opener of a podcast-turned-animated series featuring Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington, who discuss a variety of topics.

20/20 (10pm, ABC) - Actor/comedian Jeff Garlin ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") talks about his new book, "My Footprint: Saving the Planet One Pound at a Time." 

This photo of Phyllis (left) from The Office's Dec. 10 Christmas episode is as timely as anything else the "Happiness ..." brain trust could attach to this recap of Thursday night's episode.

That's because, after a six-week hiatus, the show's writers came back with ... a clip show. Six weeks off, and The Office returns with a contrived shell of a story about an investment banker auditing the Scranton branch, giving Toby and other cast members opportunities to flash back to highlights from real episodes.

Anyone who watched Sunday's Golden Globes award ceremony heard host Ricky Gervais declare that the American version of his show has "jumped the shark". He was probably joking. Probably.

At least The Office picked a couple of my favorite episodes to cannibalize for clips.

Golden Globe Awards (8pm, NBC) - Host Ricky Gervais (left) joked with Conan O'Brien earlier this week that since the awards show is on NBC, maybe it'll get canceled before air time. Unlikely. But if Gervais is half as biting tonight in his NBC commentary as he was on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" Wednesday, NBC will probably not ask him to host again. I'm positive he will be irreverant and hilarious.

Human Target (8pm, Fox) - Mark Valley (right) stars in this new adaptation of a DC Comics adventure. Valley ("Boston Legal") is Christopher Chance, a bodyguard who rents himself out as a literal human target. The show is funny and dramatic, which suits Valley well. Another reason to give it a shot is the presence of Chi McBride ("Pushing Daisies"), who stars as Valley's boss, Winston.

Big Love (9pm, HBO) - Even though Nikki is likely to become the next Prophet at Juniper Creek, Bill considers running for Utah state senate. 

24 (9pm, Fox) - Dammit, Chloe! We're running out of time! That's right, Jack is back. It's hour 1 of Day 8, and the action begins in New York City. In addition to the obvious return of Kiefer Sutherland, Cherry Jones is back as President Taylor. The season will also feature newcomers Freddie Prinze Jr and Katee Sackhoff.

Brothers & Sisters (10pm, ABC) - Cheryl Hines guest stars as Buffy, Kitty's friend who comes in between her and Robert in a political development. You read that right: Buffy and Kitty.
