Tonight Friday is back to being mostly a useless wasteland of TV. Not much to get excited about tonight. No Las Vegas or Conviction because of the Miss USA 2006 competition being shown tonight. Drew Lachey has parlayed his Dancing With the Stars win into co-hosting the show with Nancy O’Dell. What will you be watching tonight?
