SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET
This rerun from last fall features guest host Louis C.K., whose most inspired bit is well worth a second look. It’s his filmed parody of his own Louie FX comedy series, but with him playing Abraham Lincoln, standup comic and apprehensive President. The theme song only had to be tweaked slightly to be hilariously appropriate (“Lincoln, Lincoln, you’re gonna die”), and Lincoln’s standup musings about his own possible assassination are brilliant. Sympathizing with the detective who would have to list the possible suspects, Louie as Lincoln muses, “Let’s see, who might have done it? Oh, I don’t know – everybody from the middle of the country down?”
