What’s Hot On TV Tonight – Clarence Clemons?

It seems like a special treat to me to see Clarence Clemons, of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band fame pop up on a sitcom, but he’s popping up on two Fox sitcoms tonight. Someone at Fox is a huge Springsteen fan it seems. There’s no argument here. Born to Run is one of my favorite songs ever. Also don’t miss the premiere of White Collar on USA in psych’s time slot. I got a chance to view the premiere, and it’s a keeper!
