TOM'S TWISTED TOTALLY TRIVIAL TV THINGY Who suggested that "May Tomorrow Be a Perfect Day"? A) Donny and Marie B) Holmes and Yoyo C) Pink Lady and Jeff D) Sonny and Cher E) Tenspeed and Brownshoe Christmas Eve Day brings the right answer, and possibly Santa. --- 8 p.m. "THE 10TH ANNUAL A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH FAITH HILL" (CBS) salutes all the loser foster kids that Angelina Jolie and Mia Farrow refuse to adopt. "THE IFC MEDIA PROJECT" (IFC) looks at "The Future of News." The future, Conan? Yes, Andy. All the way to the year 2000! 9 p.m. Failed child stars hope to be "REDISCOVERED" (ABC) ... by Donny and Marie. I would demand $50,000 win or lose just to have to meet them. Kevin Nealon picks the "FUNNIEST COMMERCIALS OF THE YEAR: 2008" (TBS), which will be interrupted by the recession proof $100,000 Lexus Christmas gift, and Kay Jewelers admitting how creepy the greed is. Their new commercial narrator: Anthony Hopkins. "The Diamonds, Clarice ... can't you hear them screaming?" 10 p.m. "Independent Lens" follows the creepy documentary as it morphs into a musical in "GREY GARDENS: FROM EAST HAMPTON TO BROADWAY" (PBS). Rove McManus, Julianne Hough, Hal Rubenstein, and Perez Hilton compile "THE LIST" (ABC). Judge Judy pees on Captain Kirk's shoes on "SHATNER’S RAW NERVE" (Bio). The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus train chugs its way down MidSouth on "EXTREME TRAINS" (History). Oh look there's Jon Delf... nope, never mind. It's someone else. NIGHT LIGHTS * Jay Thomas, Mickey Rourke, and Darlene Love come home to Dave. * Owen Wilson, Julie Scardina, and Natalie Cole fill Jay's stocking. * Billy Bob Thornton, Tom Arnold, and Conor Oberst answered Craig's call. * Dustin Hoffman, Greg Giraldo, and Old Crow Medicine Show lead the rats from Conan's hamlet. === TTTTTT ANSWER Who had the honor of being in the very first "Pop-Up Video" on VH1? Miss Tina Turner. But the conversation doesn't end here, add your own suggestions or discuss mine on the "TV or Not TV" Google list.
