Denny Crane for president? George Segal guests stars on tonight's episode as a Republican National Committee member trying to get Denny to run for the nomination against John McCain. If that plot isn't button-pushing enough, a subplot has a lesbian suing the Boston Archdiocese for rejecting her request to join the priesthood.

Kimmel loves "Lost," and he's on ABC, so his show is the late-night place for "Lost" fans, especially this week. Evangeline Lilly, who plays Kate, guests tonight, and Josh Holloway, who plays Sawyer, is on tomorrow night. And then next Tuesday, Matthew Fox is scheduled to visit. Fox will be on Kimmel to promote "Speed Racer," but surely Kimmel will talk "Lost."

The Coen brothers' loose - very loose - transplanting of Homer's Odyssey to Depression-era Mississippi, where it plays like a dream of Hollywood's old chain-gang movies. It's powered by farcical energies as played by George Clooney's Clark Gable-like smoothie, and his two fellow escapees, John Turturro's sullen one and Tim Blake Nelson's amusingly vacant one. Not top-drawer Coen brothers, but pretty funny all the same. (PG-13; runs through May 21)
