Reeling in the years

"America's Got Talent" celebrates its 10th anniversary with clips from past episodes and visits from familiar faces, including former judge Piers Morgan, who insists on showing that he has the "talent" to be a nightly talk show host on CNN. Oh, wait. Too late. 7 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11

Hunger games

Mo Rocca, the most amiable busybody you'd ever want trespassing in your kitchen, returns for a fourth season of "My Grandmother's Ravioli." First off: a visit with a ninety-something New Yorker who shows him how to make matzo ball soup and farfel. She also teaches him how to sew, which should come in handy once it comes time for Rocca to let out his jeans. 7 p.m. Cooking Channel

Pay dirt

David Spade takes time out from trying to resurrect the ghost of Joe Dirt to produce "Fameless — Naked and Annoyed," a prank show that tests how far ordinary people will go to be famous. Umm, did we mention Spade is doing another Joe Dirt movie? In the premiere, a guitarist and a karate master nearly come to blows during an audition. 9:30 p.m. TruTV
