Sonny with a Chance of Shaq

In a new episode of "Sonny With A Chance," NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal hosts a ghoulish "So Random!" Halloween special, with musical guests Allstar Weekend and a brand new song performed by the show's star, Sonny Munroe.

The special Halloween episode airs Sunday, October 17 at 8pm on Disney Channel.

"Sonny With A Chance" is a sitcom about Allison "Sonny" Munroe, a talented Midwestern girl who, after posting her homemade comedy videos online, is discovered by a television producer and gets the chance to star in "So Random!," the most popular sketch comedy series for kids and tween. She relocates to California with her mother but her bubbly personality clashes with the resident queen of the cast, Tawni Hart.

Rounding out the "So Random!" cast is the quirky and original Zora, the confident and cool Nico and his sidekick, the gregarious, fearless Grady.

MasterChef (9pm, Fox) - The chef tryouts continue for the new reality competition show with a grand prize of $250,000 and a published cookbook. Tonight look for NC's own Darryl Pierce, who makes an impression on chef Gordon Ramsay because he's pretty handy in the kitchen despite being born with just three fingers on each hand.

White Collar (9pm, USA) - Mozzie puts himself in a vulnerable situation tonight when he asks Peter and Neal for help finding someone important to him who may have been kidnapped.

What to Watch on Tuesday: NC woman makes it to Big Brother finale

Biggest Loser (8pm, NBC) - Tonight is the season premiere and three of the sixteen folks on the show are from NC (Antoine Dove, Daniel Wright, and Tracey Yukich). They'll be working to lose weight and get back on the healthy track, and we'll be recapping the show, so check back with us tomorrow!

Big Brother 11 (9pm, CBS) - It's finally over! Jordan Lloyd (right) and Kevin compete for HoH and the winner gets to evict one person from the house. Then jury members question the final two and select a winner. Of course we're hoping Jordan, from Matthews, N.C., wins it all, but even if she doesn't, she's done amazingly well. Good job, Jordan.

Flipping Out (10pm, Bravo) - I'll admit I've totally flipped out for this show and its OCD house-flipping star Jeff Lewis (right). Tonight, Jeff's professional growth-slash-desperation shows as he bends to a new client's whim and attends a meeting in his pajamas. Also, Jeff has a huge blowout with his business partner Ryan, and yet another assistant bites the dust. Can't wait to see if it's because she called the wrong "Chris" or if she forgot to get the guac at El Pollo Loco (the latter is a fireable offense).

Hell's Kitchen (8pm, Fox) - Dinner service is marred by repeated mistakes and a bossy teammate. This is the description of every episode of "Hell's Kitchen." My question is, can any of these people actually cook? They've been fouling up the same dishes over and over for weeks now.

Flipping Out (10pm, Bravo) - Our favorite obsessive-compulsive house flipper Jeff Lewis returns tonight for his third season on Bravo. Since the housing market has tanked,  Jeff can't flip houses so he's resorted to decorating. But don't worry. Just because he's not flipping doesn't mean he's not flipping out.
