What's On Tonight (Sunday): Oh boy, this also looks terrible

The Masked Dancer

Put your dancing shoes on! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, December 30!

Just when you thought The Masked Singer was a low point, Fox gives us a spinoff: The Masked Dancer. It is literally just like the parent show, but now the celebrity contestants are dancing instead of singing. I guess they have moves that will help us recognize them. And now I wonder if Mick Jagger is one. (But I'm not curious enough to watch.)

Elsewhere, the mind of Charlie Booker remembers 2020, Alfred Pennyworth wraps up his work for the time being, Ian and Mickey get clip show treatment, and Food Network examines the state of America's restaurants.
