Christopher Titus has issues.
Everyone who doesn't have a date this Valentine's Day can wallow in their misery - or, perhaps, feel a sense of relief that they're being spared the misery that comes with relationships - with comedian Christopher Titus's Comedy Central special, "Love is Evol."
Titus has always been a dark comic - his Fox sitcom got laughs from the most twisted family dynamics imaginable - but with this special, he's smarting from a recent divorce and doesn't care who knows it.
"If you have never contemplated suicide, then you have never been in love," he says at the outset. "And if you've never contemplated murder, then you've never been divorced."
One wonders what Titus's ex will make of this performance, but given that she must've known the guy pretty well, she probably saw this coming. Titus, at various points, refers to treacherous women as "life-sucking vampires," "soul-sucking humps," "life-force-@ss-killing nozzles," and so on.
"Tonight's show will either fix your relationship or destroy it, and either way, you're welcome," he tells the couples in his audience.
After railing against the pain that the end of a relationship inevitably brings, and sharing demented stories about his parents' twisted relationship, Titus abruptly shifts gears and starts talking about his new and improved relationship. Everyone will be able to relate to his material about heartbreak; the "I'm-dating-a-super-hot-model" stuff, probably not so much.
- "Christopher Titus: Love is Evol," 10 p.m. Saturday, Comedy Central.

David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place.
