Ready to rumble: 'Prizefight' winner to be named in extended finale
Anne Burrell hosts "Vegas Chef Prizefight"
Most Vegas prize fights are 12-round contests, with two boxers slugging it out in the ring inside a famous Las Vegas venue. That's kind of the same idea behind Food Network's "Vegas Chef Prizefight," except you've got several chefs battling it out weekly (on our screens, anyway) inside the kitchens of some of the most famous restaurants on and off the Strip.

Saturday Night Live, on NBC
Celebrity guests that include comedians, politicians, athletes and musicians join in on the laughs in a new episode of the long-running comedy series. Chris Redd stars as a regular cast member, poking fun at everything from pop culture to the daily news.
Gran Torino, on AMC
An angry Korean War veteran (Clint Eastwood) begins to develop a relationship with his Hmong American neighbors after thwarting their son’s attempt to steal his most prized possession – a ’72 Ford Gran Torino – in this critically acclaimed drama.
Q: Have they ever tried remaking the British sitcom "Yes Minister?" I loved that show.
The adaptations have gotten looser, but the DNA of "Yes Minister" has continued all the way into the recently departed HBO comedy "Veep."
"Yes Minister," a satire of backroom British politics, ran from 1980 to 1988 (though two of those seasons were called "Yes, Prime Minister," to reflect the lead character's promotion to the top job -- note that "Veep's" title character got a similar promotion, but the show didn't change names).
Katy Keene, on CW
Lucy Hale stars as Katy Keene, an up-and-coming fashion designer trying to make it in New York City in a new episode of this drama. Ashleigh Murray also stars as her "Riverdale" character, Josie McCoy, who moved to the city to pursue her music career.
