TV: Sunday Hot List
July 14 2009, Published 7:34 a.m. ET
ABC threw out a lifeline to Regis Philbin and brought him back for a special primetime run of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire in celebration of a decade on the air. The festivities kick off tonight with good ol’ Reeg back in the hot seat.
A new reality show from Mark Burnett called Shark Tank premieres tonight. The premise? Aspiring entrepreneurs present their ideas to five industry titans or the “sharks” if you will and try to get them to invest in their idea. The drama comes when more than one “shark” is interested and a bidding war ensues.
And, one thing that Comedy Central is famous for is their hilarious, raunchy and inevitably inappropriate “roast” specials. Tonight the spotlight is on Joan Rivers so you know this is absolutely not for family viewing. Kathy Griffin is sure to up the shock value as the roast master—others roasters include Brad Garrett, Robin Quivers, Mario Cantone and Tom Arnold.
