What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Hello, it's The Weakest Link

 

Via Tenor.

Tonight's Top Pick is the return of the Jane Lynch-hosted Weakest Link reboot. Show of hands, who else had the home game? It came with a cardboard cutout of Anne Robinson's face and some sample insults.


While I determine which What's On Tonight readers have delusions of adequacy, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, April 11. All times are EST.
