True Blood, which also stars as Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton, the fanged figure of Sookie’s affection, will serve as a lead-in to the fifth season finale of Hollywood buddy series Entourage at 10 p.m. During the concluder, Vince (Adrien Grenier) and crew have returned home to Queens, after comeback vehicle Smokejumpers was scrapped by the studio in the campaign’s penultimate installment.
