Craig Ferguson has an uncanny ability to get celebrities onto the most unlikely of topics. Starting with a harmonica and channeling through Charlie Sheen's most recent sex scandals, Ferguson explored the differences between the Cockneys and the Scottish with guest Michael Caine. And they did this through the discussion of prostitutes. Only on 'The Late Late Show' (Weeknights, 12:37AM on CBS) is this not unusual in the slightest.

Caine explained that he believes celebrities have always gotten into as much trouble as they do now, only now "they get caught more."

He described it as a much simpler time before the likes of 'Star' and 'Entertainment Tonight. "You could do what you like," he said. "And then the papparrazzi came along and spoiled it all."

Here's tonight's lineup of new shows and events (all times Eastern). Check your local TV listings for additional information.

After the jump, the late night talk shows.

Since it looks like Bionic Woman is not coming back to NBC, although nothing's been confirmed, the executive producer is moving on. David Eick is writing a pilot based on the Alfonso Cuarón film Children of Men for SciFi.

The film, brilliantly directed by the Mexican filmmaker, was a grim tale about the future -- England in 2027 -- where women have become completely infertile and the human race faces a major crises with less than a century to survive.
