A Home for the Holidays With Faith Hill 8 p.m., Channel 4

Kenan Thompson was hysterical pretending to be Reba McEntire on “Saturday Night Live.’’ I wish he were going to show up tonight with Faith Hill (above) for the 11th annual benefit to help place kids with adoptive families. But alas, it will be the real Reba. Also appearing: the real Mary J. Blige, the real Shakira, and the real Carrie Underwood.

Spectacle: Elvis Costello With. . . 10 p.m., Sundance

My love for this series remains steadfast, especially in light of tonight’s lineup. Elvis (above) will be joined by Richard Thompson, Nick Lowe, Allen Toussaint, and Levon Helm. Before “Spectacle,’’ it had been a long time since a talk show about music was actually about music.

Great Performances 9 p.m., Channel 2

“La Boheme’’! Gesundheit.

Bristol Bay Brawl 9 and 10 p.m., Discovery Channel

Roe, herring, roe.

Glee 8 and 9 p.m., Channel 25

A night of gleeruns.

Accidental Fortune 10 p.m., TLC

That freshly laundered $20 bill.
