Last weekend, on the season opener of SNL, Bill Hader crushed it as Clint Eastwood, taking his “one man and a chair” Republican National Convention act to local theaters. Tonight, in the first of two SNL prime-time specials, Hader and company present a special “election special” half-hour. Expect special guests.

Part 3 of 3. What a brilliant three-part story this particular arc has turned out to be. Rumors of a late-night host’s imminent retirement, the same plot device that propelled early episodes of HBO’s The Larry Sanders Show, has Louie (Louis C.K.) undergoing top-secret network tests as a dark-horse candidate to replace David Letterman on CBS. Louie’s irascible coach is played by David Lynch, whose deadpan disgust with Louie is hilarious. After one particularly uninspired run-thr
