Dynamic duo

Fans of SCTV should have plenty of good cheer thanks to a new Christmas episode of "Schitt's Creek" in which Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara try to make the best out of a humbug holiday season. (Paul Shaffer stops by to liven up the party.) Even better news: Cast members from the sitcom will participate in a Q&A at the State Theatre on Feb. 23.

Samantha Bee has put herself in some slippery situations this year, so it's appropriate that the "Full Frontal" holiday special is called "Christmas on I.C.E." with our host delivering barbs on skates in New York's PlayStation Theater. Olympic medalist Adam Rippon makes himself available for slow dances.

9:30 p.m., TBS
