If you haven't been making "BET Tonight" (10 p.m. on BET) part of your late-night diet, maybe tonight's guest - President Clinton (right) in his first interview since his taped grand jury testimony - will get you to sample it. Host Tavis Smiley isn't as polished as Ted Koppel, and on emotional topics he's been known to turn from interviewer to accuser.

And Smiley is a patient interviewer; Charlie Rose could learn a few things from him.
