What’s Hot On TV Tonight – Who Are Final 4 Dancers?
There are six people who probably didn’t get much sleep last night, the final six on So You Think You Dan Dance. Four of them will be there next week competing for the top prize, while the remaining to will be out. It’s such a close race this season that I don’t know if there’s anyone that’s a sure bet, other than Brandon, who I sometimes wonder if he’s doing it all just to get back at Mary Murphy for not wanting him in the final 20.

What’s Hot On TV Tonight – What and Who Killed Michael Jackson?
Don’t for any reason think that we’re starting to get to the end of the coverage of Michael Jackson’s death. I have a feeling we’ll be investigating and rumoring about this for some time. Tonight, Primetime: Crime is the latest show to chip in with their ideas and coverage as they cover the investigation into the singer’s doctor among reports that he administered a fatal dose himself of a drug that Jackson used to help fall asleep.

What’s Hot On TV Tonight – After the Final Rose
I don’t think there’s anything that could happen tonight on After the Final Rose for The Bachelorette that could possibly top Jason Mesnick’s drama last season. I’m likely to think this one sticks … for now. Jillian and Ed seem genuine; they have since the beginning, and they’ve already worked through problems, with his leaving, and then whatever it was that happened in the private suite that night. It’s not like they had this big fairytale and will now be presented with the real world. They’ve kind of already been there. I’m figuring they’ll still be together tonight, and that perhaps this could be the second relationship from this franchise to actually see the alter.
1. Regis and Kelly. Today’s guest is Jonah Hill and dogs with unusual skills are featured as well on Top Dog Week. Syndicated, check local listings.

What’s Hot On TV Tonight – Animal Planet Dog Championships
I always think one of the neatest things about dog shows is when the dogs win, and they seem to know. They get all excited and prance around. It’s like they know they done good. Tonight we have the Animal Planet Dog Championships. It’s not the Westminster, but stil, it’s fun to see the dogs no matter the venue.
1. Spaceballs. This is a great Mel Brooks classic, parodying Star Wars among many others. Brooks stars in the movie as well, along with John Candy and Rick Moranis. 12:35 PM CT Encore West

What’s Hot On TV Tonight – So You Think You Can Dance Celebrates!
It’s time for a big celebration on So You Thnk You Can Dance as they churn out the 100th episode. Do you think they’ll dance to Kool and the Gang? Some of our favorite past contestants are coming back to dance, and we’ll also see Katie Holmes for some reason I sitll don’t understand. I’m excited about seeing the old favorites again, as well as another chnce with Ellen DeGeneres on the judging panel. Do you think because they’re feeling so celebratory that just like when they didn’t vote out someone on American Idol during Idol Gives Back that maybe we won’t lose two more dancers tonight?

What’s Hot On TV – President Obama’s News Conference
Most networks are airing the President’s news conference, but Fox really doesn’t have much of a choice with a two hour episode of So You Think You Can Dance to air, and not having a three hour window of air time like the big three networks. And they have a special episode this week, too, as they look forward to their 100th tomorrow night. Ellen DeGeneres will be on the judging panel tonight.
1. Today. On this final hour of the show, Tori Spelling subs for Hoda, Jordin Sparks is the guest, and an update is provided on the diets of the crew. 10:00 AM CT NBC
