Help is on the way

Principal cast members from the feature film "The Butler" stop by "The View" (10 a.m. Friday, KSTP, Ch. 5), which means Oprah Winfrey will be back on daytime television and hopefully in the mood to give away a fleet of new cars.

Here comes the bride

Kristin Chenoweth comes to Kleinfeld Bridal in Manhattan, but not to personally "Say Yes to the Dress" (8 p.m. Friday, TLC). The visit is for her assistant, a bride-to-be. We all know that when wedding bells ring for Chenoweth, the gown will be put together by animated bluebirds and butterflies.

Keep on truckin'

Season 4 of "The Great Food Truck Race" (8 p.m. Sunday, Food) will eventually weave its way through the Twin Cities. Before getting here, they've got to survive a contest in Beverly Hills in which they have to sell items for at least $20 each, also known in Beverly Hills as "chump change."

More Oprah

Lindsay Lohan sits down with TV's most sought-after counselor for a highly anticipated edition of "Oprah's Next Chapter" (8 p.m. Sunday, OWN). We know the Queen can pull off many things, but what this troubled young woman needs is private therapy, not more prime-time publicity.
