What's On Tonight (Wednesday): You're getting a Community notification for this

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

Is that your final answer? Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, August 28!

Our Top Pick tonight is Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (ABC, 8 p.m. / Hulu, Thursday), which just celebrated 25 years since the Regis-hosted edition debuted and took America by storm. Tonight is the closer to this revival's delayed third season -- and featuring a couple Community co-stars. Now hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the series has celebrities playing for charity. And paired-up celebrities this season. So some of the players are already millionaires. 

Elsewhere, the Masters use coffee, actors look back on Baywatch, an Ark-er wants to kill, Bad Monkey does a flashback, Toby Keith is celebrated, and Magnolia gets to Building Oklahoma.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
