Watch it

“Top Chef” (9 p.m., Bravo). Jonathan Waxman is a guest judge as the cheftestants first have to bake a pie from scratch (a dessert! Ha!) and then have to grill a picnic for Capitol Hill interns. No Monica Lewinsky jokes, please. Too easy.

“Work of Art: The Next Great Artist” (10 p.m., Bravo). The artists are tasked to create a shocking and provocative piece. Gasp.

Record it

“In Plain Sight” (10 p.m., USA). It’s the season finale, and Mary has to protect a priest who witnessed a murder.

“Man Shops Globe” (10 p.m., Sundance). Season premiere. Another season of shopping as a buyer for Anthropologie stores scours the globe for neat things. Tonight he’s in Thailand looking for fabrics.

“Late Show with David Letterman” (11:35 p.m., CBS). The New Pornographers are musical guests. They rock.

Skip it

“Real World” (10 p.m., MTV). Good god, another season already? A new group of drunken yahoos are in New Orleans this time. Hasn’t that city suffered enough?
