In a special social distancing edition, Hollywood Game Night is back tonight for a very worth cause: the Red Nose Day campaign. Jane Lynch will host remotely, while six great celebs will battle it out from their own homes to help raise money and awareness for Red Nose Day.

According to NBC, “Red Nose Day raises money and awareness to ensure that children in need are safe, healthy and educated in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and in some of the poorest communities in the world. With the outbreak of COVID-19, support for children in need has never been more critical. Throughout the Red Nose Day campaign, funds raised are being directed to address the impact of COVID-19 on children living in poverty and the organizations supporting them. This includes accelerated funding to many of Red Nose Day’s nonprofit grantee partners who are working on the frontlines of this crisis. Grantee partners include Feeding America, Save the Children, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Children’s Health Fund, Covenant House, The Global Fund and more.”

So join Jane, Kristen Bell, Nick Jonas, Kenan Thompson, Sean Hayes, John Legend, & Retta and give a little to help the children during this extra tough time for the world.

The 1-hour “Social Distancing Edition” airs tonight on NBC at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching Chopped & Supermarket Stakeout.

iceage320smallTonight, FOX has both sides of Easter covered. Before the huge live musical event The Passion, FOX is airing the new animated special, Ice Age: The Great Egg-Scapade, which puts a prehistoric twist on the origins of the Easter bunny. Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo) has decided to start a new egg-sitting business, but the locals are all too familiar with his unlucky past with eggs, and no one wants to be his customer. However, a newly-migrated and stressed-out single bird mother (Taraji P. Henson, Empire) and her neighbors, Condor Mom (Wendy Williams), Cholly Bear (Gabriel Iglesias), and Gladys Glypto (Lili Estefan), all decide to leave their eggs with Sid. Meanwhile, pirate bunny Squint (Seth Green, Family Guy) is back – the guys had smashed up his ship in Ice Age 4: Continental Drift, and he wants them to replace it. When they refuse, he sneaks in and takes the eggs as Sid is sleeping, and hides them. Needless to say the parents are furious, and Manny (Ray Romano), Diego (Denis Leary), and Sid are joined by Squint’s twin brother Clint (Blake Anderson, Workaholics) as they go on the world’s first Easter Egg Hunt to find the missing eggs – which Squint has painted to make them harder to find. Meanwhile, possums Eddie (Josh Peck, Grandfathered) and Crash (Seann William Scott) set out to make Peaches the first April Fool; and Scrat continues to seek out that elusive acorn.

If you’re a fan of the Ice Age films, this is a fun, holiday-themed addition to the franchise. All of your favorite characters are back, and they’ve even found several ways to weave in connections to the past films. Plus, during tonight’s special, viewers will get an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming, all-new animated feature film Ice Age: Collision Course, which hits theaters in July.

Go on an egg hunt tonight on FOX at 7:30/6:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Good Wife, The Family, Quantico, The Carmichael Show, Crowded, Hollywood Game Night, The Passion, and The Walking Dead.

playinghouse98smallTonight, the (too short) second season of Playing House comes to a close with a double-dose of episodes. Last week, Maggie and Emma headed to Lake Kimmewah to spend the weekend together at their childhood vacation spot. It was the annual Kimmewah Kup paddle boat race, and the girls planned to beat their old nemeses the Custerman twins (played by the Sklar brothers). However, Maggie got upset that Emma was distracted during their gals weekend, constantly texting and calling her boyfriend Rabbi Dan. And when Dan showed up at the cabin, things only got worse. But, as always, the girls talked it out — their friendship can overcome any hurdles!

All I can say is that I love this show. It always makes me laugh out loud, and the relationship between Maggie and Emma feels so natural and real. They make you wish you were part of their world. If you haven’t checked out this show, what are you waiting for?! You can really jump in with any episode and also catch up via On Demand. I really hope tonight’s episodes aren’t the last 2 episodes of the series…and that USA won’t make us wait until December again to find out if the show’s coming back!

On tonight’s first episode, “Officer of the Year,” Emma organizes a policeman’s ball with help from Maggie and Rabbi Dan; Mark doesn’t have a date. And then in “Celebrate Me Scones,” Maggie surprises Emma with tickets to a special concert; and an old friend returns.

Catch the last two episodes of the season tonight on USA Network at 10/9c & 10:30/9:30c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Zoo, Hollywood Game Night, and Face Off.

Hollywood Game Night is one of my favorite primetime game shows, and I’m thrilled to see it returning to the lineup tonight. The hilarious Jane Lynch is back as host, and each week, 6 new celebrities will join two “normies” to battle it out in a series of fun games. This show is always a blast to watch as the celebrities let loose and just have fun.

Each season, the show does a great job of introducing fun new games while also bringing back many of our favorites, and this year is no different. In addition to the new games, the show is also changing up the final round this year, giving the winning player the assistance of two celebrities instead of just one.

On tonight’s episode, “Two Janes Are Better Than One,” season 3 kicks off with celebrity players John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Giada De Laurentiis, Zachary Quinto, and Jane Krakowski.

Check out the new games and returning favorites tonight on NBC at 10:01/9:01c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Zoo, Tyrant, Clipped, Chrisley Knows Best, Royal Pains, Scream, and Another Period.
