Louie (FX, 10:30 p.m.) — “Louie might get a break” reads the description of tonight’s episode, “Late Show,” which apparently involves Louie waiting in a green room for Tom Cruise to finish blabbing (and Garry Marshall, as played Paul F. Tompkins?). I can say for sure that I attended the taping of an upcoming episode dealing with Louie’s aforementioned “break.” SPOILER ALERT: it was funny. More on that later.
