Justified (FX) – Raylan takes on Oxycontin dealers and presumably shoots one or more of them in the chest and/or face. I love this show. (HEY YOU! Go reread my Q&A with “Justified” writer Jon Worley.)

Tosh.0/Key & Peele (Comedy Central) – Season premiere of Tosh, and series premiere of “Key & Peele,” a new sketch show. Sorry guys, not while Raylan’s shooting people. Priorities.

Southland (TNT) – I have never seen this show, but I have heard it’s good, and people get angry when I don’t include it. Here you go. Please do not yell at me.

Inside the Actor’s Studio (Bravo) – George Clooney is the guest. Sometimes I forget George Clooney is an actor. I just think of him as this awesome rich guy who goes to award shows in expensive suits with attractive ladies on his arm. Like Brody Jenner, but with redeeming qualities and a soul.

Glee (FOX) – Tonight’s episode is Michael Jackson-themed. The video for “Jam” was awesome. I would have forfeited 10% of my future earnings to be in a warehouse with Heavy D and Kriss Kross watching Michael Jackson try to play basketball against Michael Jordan. (Video after the jump.)

Celebrity Wife Swap (ABC) – Former WWE wrestler Mick Foley and soap opera actor Antonio Sabato, Jr. swap wives. No two people on Earth are less alike than Mick Foley and Antonio Sabato, Jr.

Ink Master (Spike) – From TV Guide: “A head tattoo causes a fight; naked women appear in the competition; a third artist is eliminated.” This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best possible sentence.

LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Tonight, Leno has Michelle Obama and Mark Harmon from “NCIS.” Letterman, on the other hand, has Bill Murray and Girls’ Generation, a nine member, all girl Korean pop group (who has been discussed on the Uproxx network before). This is what we in the television community refer to as “effective counterprogramming.”

Tosh.0 (Comedy Central) — The boy who got detention for farting on the school bus gets a Web Redemption.

Cupcake Wars (Food Network) — Bakers mark the 50th anniversary of the first American in space (Alan Shepard) by making space-themed cupcakes, which are then served at Griffith Observatory. What an honor. Forget statues and plaques, these people made CUPCAKES!

White Collar (USA) — I don’t care how many people tell me this show is worthwhile summer fare, if I see white people in suits talking about money, my eyes glaze over the same way they do when I see movies where British people talk about manners.

The Voice (NBC) — There are only four contestants now. Is one of them the fat country-singing dude? I liked him. (NOTE: I haven’t watched this show in over a month.)

Memphis Beat (TNT) — Oh, hello “Memphis Beat.” I didn’t see your second season come in. Thank you for employing Jason Lee; it’s always good to see him working. Also, I’m sorry that you are not a well-written television show.

LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Tom Hanks on Letterman; Blake Lively on Leno (rerun); Jason Bateman on Kimmel; Paris Hilton and Neil Gaiman (WEIRD combo) on Ferguson; Louis C.K. on “The Daily Show”; and Elijah Wood on Conan. Hooray for FX stars on my favorite late-night shows.

Comedy Central has renewed “Tosh.0″ for a fourth season, no surprise given the show’s edgy content and excellent ratings (it averages 4.2 million viewers an episode, making it the most-watched show on the network).

The network has picked up 26 episodes for 2012 (though that is down a couple hours from this year, which had 30 episodes).

“Daniel is still trying to figure out what his show is and we thought it would only be right to give him another season to work it out, especially since so many millions of people are watching it,” said Comedy Central programming chief Kent Alterman. [Inside TV]

Okay, this will be the last time “Tosh.0″ getting renewed is news. If clip shows and talk shows perform well, they just keep going in perpetuity. The idea that Comedy Central would think twice about renewing their biggest show is preposterous, as is the notion of “seasons” for “Tosh.” “Ooohh, it’s one from the casual jacket season!”–Nobody.

Tosh.0 (Comedy Central) — Season premiere. Well, not so much a season premiere as it is the beginning of a new batch of episodes. “Tosh” isn’t exactly the kind of show with seasons — not unless you live and die by the wardrobe tweaks. ANYWAY, tonight Daniel gets in the ring to take a punch from Manny Pacquiao. Should be worth watching.

One Tree Hill (CW) — Season finale. Eight years. This show has existed for eight years. Anyone who watched this show as a teenager is now old enough to know better.

NCIS (CBS) — Season finale. Did you know that Mark Harmon almost replaced Don Johnson on “Miami Vice”? Harmon hasn’t stopped feathering his hair in the quarter-century since that happened. Also on CBS: The Good Wife airs its Season 2 finale.

Glee (Fox) — Yup, it’s sweeps: somebody dies in tonight’s episode. I remember watching “90210″ in high school and being all excited because the promos said someone was going to die. Then it ended up being David’s retarded cowboy friend who was barely in the show, and I was pissed. “Glee” would have to go a long way to have a lamer death than that.

Dancing with the Stars (ABC) — Stevie Nicks performs on the results show. Afterwards, she and Kirstie Alley can compare before and after photos. Before and after getting fat, I mean. In case that wasn’t clear.

As evidenced by Ken Jennings’s witty repartee with Internet geeks, Reddit’s “Ask Me Anything” forums have become increasingly newsworthy in recent weeks. Yesterday, a staffer for “Tosh.0″ published the banner image here as an AMA. It was a funny twist: Daniel Tosh, obviously knowing that white signboards are an invitation for Photoshop mockery, made himself a target to some of the savviest and smartest web users on the internet, and the Redditors happily played along by taking his bait. (Well, many played along; several bleeding gashes complained that Tosh snubbed their precious Valhalla of information-sharing.)

The entire thread is here, but I’ve saved you some time (and whining from Reddit users) by compiling the best Photoshops on the following pages — and I even put them in a nice, progressive order. Be sure to leave some jokes in the comments so that Tosh can use them on his show.
