Anthony Anderson joins “Law & Order.”
Tonight is “American Idol” elimination night (still sounds a little seamy, doesn’t it?) at 8 p.m. on Fox, and the contest seems to be hurdling toward a David vs. David finish. I’ll be watching tonight to see who gets lopped off. Brooke White’s performance of Neil Diamond’s “I’m a Believer” was called “a nightmare” by Simon Cowell, who seems to relish watching Brookie cry, but because the voters on this show seem to be in some kind of talent revolt, she might be spared. Cook seemed to do well with “I’m Alive,” so we’ll see.
And of course, there’s more “Carrier” at 8 p.m. on PBS, and diehard “Law & Order” fans get to turn the page and welcome Anthony Anderson to the cast tonight at 9 p.m. on NBC. Ch-chung!
