What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Like sands through the hourglass, so is The Weakest Link

Tonight's Top Pick is the third season spring premiere of The Weakest Link reboot, a special edition with eight cast members from Days of Our Lives. The contestants include Victoria Konefal, but not Robert Scott Wilson, who admittedly has game show experience. Robert, along with two of tonight's contestants, Eric Martsolf and Bryan Datillo, is among the five DOOL actors appearing in Playgirl this spring.


While I wonder if the DOOL octet will put to bed the stereotype about soap actors on game shows, let's see what TV has to offer us for Tuesday, April 2. All times are EST.
