Danny Glover Is Darnell's Daddy on 'My Name Is Earl'

NBC has a fantastic episode of My Name Is Earl in store for fans tonight. None other than Lethal Weapon star Danny Glover is dropping by to play Darnell’s (Eddie Steeples) absentee dad Thomas during “My Name Is Alias.”

Thomas shows up in Camden claiming that he wants to make amends with his son. Fortunately, Earl and Randy are immediately suspicious, and they make a trip to Joy and Darnell’s new Witness Protection home to warn the couple.

The intention is nice, but too bad Thomas follows the brothers, which results in father and son going on a “super-secret” undercover mission after their quickie family reunion.

Also tonight on comedy television are fresh episodes of NBC’s Kath & Kim (“Competition” at 8:30pm), ABC’s Ugly Betty (“There’s No Place Like Mode” at 8pm — Watch Previews), and USA Network’s Burn Notice (“Truth and Reconciliation” at 10pm — Watch a Preview).

My Name Is Earl airs Thursdays on NBC at 8pm EST. All other times are EST, too.
