What’s Hot On TV Tonight - Dancing With the Stars Finale!

There just isn’t anything tonight that’s bigger than the Dancing With the Stars performance finale. It appears to be ending in the nick of time, as if you look at Bruno’s face in the pic above, he seems like he’s in need of cranking one out. And although I promised you holiday viewing from hereon on out, there really isn’t anything suitable tonight to be called “hot” as far as holiday viewing other than The Holiday, and I’ve already mentioned my adoration of this film several times in these lists. Instead, be sure to watch My Own Worst Enemy which has been cancelled and is just finishing up its already filmed episodes. I’m hoping to find a way to save it on the SciFi Channel or something.
1. Regis and Kelly. Reese Witherspoon is a guest, promoting her new film Four Christmases that opens this Wednesday. The Love Chef is also on preparing a a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I can taste the mashed potatoes and gravy already. Syndicated, check local listings.
2. The Bonnie Hunt Show. Guests today include Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer of Dancing With the Stars. It could be foreshadowing, as I’m predicting them as the winners. Also, Chef Todd English will show how to make a meal for six when you’re on a budget. Syndicated, check local listings.
