What to Watch on Friday: From Goat Rodeo to Graceland

Finding Bigfoot: Further Evidence (8pm, Animal Planet) - Footage of what appears to be the eyes of Bigfoot brings the team to Kentucky to investigate reports of activity in Daniel Boone National Forest.

The Ricky Gervais Show (9pm, HBO) - Ricky, Stephen and Karl share their definitions of what it means to be an Englishman. Karl explains why, if he wasn't English, he'd rather be Italian.

Goat Rodeo Live (10pm, UNC-TV) - Classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma performs bluegrass with fiddler Stuart Duncan, bassist Edgar Meyer and Nickel Creek mandolin player Chris Thile at Boston's House of Blues.

Paul Simon's Graceland Journey: Under African Skies (10pm, A&E) - A look at the making of Paul Simon's album "Graceland" and the controversy over Simon's decision to collaborate with South African musicians despite a UN boycott against the country's apartheid regime.

The Obama inauguration: Finger-syncing good

If you thought that Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman's performance at Tuesday's presidential inauguration sounded just a little too precise for the frigid outdoor conditions, you're right. According to a New York Times report, what we all heard on television was a recording made two days earlier, to which the musicians played along.

There is, however, no evidence to suggest that Aretha Franklin's hat was faked in any way.
