James Marsden shows up today to discuss his role in Hairspray.

The Kill Point (Spike) 10:00 PM EDT
I missed this one the first time, since I haven't found anything worth watching on Spike TV since The Joe Schmoe Show, but I understand this eight-hour miniseries includes a gay character worth watching. This series follows a hostage crisis at a bank robbery, lead by an Iraq War veteran played by John Leguizamo. Donnie Wahlberg plays a police officer who tries to talk Leguizamo down.

Top Chef: Watch What Happens (Bravo) 10:00 PM EDT
Bravo exec Andy Cohen hosts this special that looks at the first two seasons and what we've seen of the third season. Host Padma Lakshmi, judges Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons and Ted Allen will discuss the series, along with the first five eliminated season three contestants and some of the major players from the first two seasons, including Dave Martin, Lee Ann Wong and Ilan Hall. Am I the only one who wants to see Lee Ann take on a Tim Gunn-ish mentor role? I've been following her blog and she's great at spotting the core problem a contestant is facing.

The Colbert Report (Comedy Central) 11:30 PM EDT
Charles Kaiser, author of The Gay Metropolis: The Landmark History of Gay Life in America is a guest tonight. That's two nights in a row with gay themed guests, I wonder if Stephen is looking to follow them home to find out where to live.
