Will Ashton Kutcher look at his lines before tonight's show? Or will he stare at the cue cards like Christopher Walken last week? Somehow I don't think he'll be as cavalier as Walken. Kutcher is the guest host, Gnarls Barkley performs.

Desperate Housewives
Tomorrow at 9 p.m., Channel 5
They ladies are back, a few months after a twister made a big mess of Wisteria Lane. Mike gets out of rehab, and Carlos is still blind and in the hospital. Also, actor Chris Carmack (above) shows up as Susan's hottie accountant cousin. Carmack is best known for playing bully Luke on "The O.C."

The Tudors Tomorrow at 9:05 p.m., Showtime
Anne and Henry tie the knot. That sounds violent, doesn't it?

Life Is Beautiful

Comcast, Encore

Chaplin in a Nazi death camp? It sounds like a recipe for disaster, but nimbly inventive Italian comic Everyman Roberto Begnini brings it off with surprising impact. His touch is light and delicate as he maintains a fairytale tone, first when his buoyant country newcomer romances a pretty schoolteacher, then when he keeps their young son alive in a concentration camp by hiding the boy and shielding him from the horror by pretending that it's all a big game. (PG-13; runs through April 24)
