CSI:Miami long ago devolved into multiple shots of David Caruso standing akimbo, taking his glasses off (or putting them on) for "dramatic" effect, and spitting out one liners in a voice that fits somewhere between "Oh my god I have to crap" and "I have really bad throat cancer."

But the show is set to get more patently absurd tonight, when one Sean "Diddy" Combs guest stars as a tenacious defense attorney. Apparently he's taking time away from writing rhymes and checks to do a little sub-par acting on a pretty lousy show. 

The video is above for your derision, and out of context, it is pretty bonkers. I can't understand why there's so much awkward silence. Though I like the fact that Diddy picked up the water bottle so it couldn't be used as evidence, because at some point I'd have to assume attorneys would realize they couldn't let their clients leave anything in an interrogation room since 35 percent of all crimes on TV are solved with discarded water bottles.

The episode premieres tonight, at 10 p.m. EST on CBS. [via NahRight]
