THE PARTY
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Simon Helberg, who plays Howard Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory, is tonight’s TCM guest programmer. Among the four movies he chooses, two of them star Peter Sellers, beginning with this one from 1968. Sellers reteams with Pink Panther director Blake Edwards, and in this comedy plays an Indian actor who disrupts a Hollywood party. At that party are leading lady Claudine Longet and two supporting players more familiar from television: future Love Boat captain Gavin MacLeod, and memorable Tonight Show “Tea Time Matinee” lady Carol Wayne (pictured, with Sellers).
