Clinton (9pm, UNC-TV) - This first part of this two-part American Experience profile of former president Bill Clinton charts his path from Hope, Ark., to Washington, D.C., ending midway through his first term when Newt Gingrich and the GOP took control of the House and Senate.

Smash (10pm, NBC) - Casting begins for the Joe DiMaggio character, and Karen returns to her hometown to attend a baby shower. Chatter indicates this is a fairly awful episode (mostly the progression of the adoption storyline), so just keep that in mind if you watch.

Book giveaway: Bethenny Frankel's "A Place of Yes"

We're giving away a copy of a book by one of our favorite reality stars:  Bethenny Frankel's "A Place of Yes."

In it, in trademark frank, funny and sweet fashion, Frankel reveals parts of her life and the lessons she learned from mistakes and believing in her vision.

Maybe you're skeptical -- Why should I listen to her? What does she know? She just got lucky because she was on a reality show!

Think again. According to this interesting article in The Hollywood Reporter, The former Real Housewife of New York star saw what a lot of folks didn't see at first, namely that going on a reality show could help build her brand.

Sure everybody's got that message now, but Bethenny was ahead of the curve. And now the payoff:  Reports say her Skinnygirl cocktail line just got acquired for $120 million.

So maybe you do need to get to a "Place of Yes." Just send me an email with "YES" in the subject line. We'll randomly pick a winner.
