Series

The housemates feel all weird and icky the morning after the latest banishment nominations on Big Brother (8 p.m., CBS). Will & Grace (9 p.m., NBC) reruns the one where Grace's life-of-the-party mom (Debbie Reynolds) tries to match up her daughter with Mr. Right, except he's Mr. Gay, and Grace already has one of those.

Specials

The 2nd Annual Family Television Awards (9 p.m., CBS) honors family-friendly programming. Among the winners: "Everybody Loves Raymond." The voters must have thought the award was for dysfunctional family programming. The GLAAD Media Awards 2000 (10 p.m., E!), which celebrate the year's most gay- and lesbian-friendly TV and media, happened a couple of months ago, but here are the highlights from swingin' San Francisco. Margaret Cho is among the honorees.

Talk

Rosie O'Donnell (syndicated) David Duchovny, Cybill Shepherd (rerun)
David Letterman (CBS) Jennifer Lopez, the Eels, Colleen from "Survivor"
Jay Leno (NBC) Sarah Jessica Parker, Chris Matthews, Sting
Politically Incorrect (ABC) Craig Ferguson
Conan O'Brien (NBC) Donald Sutherland, Todd Barry
Craig Kilborn (CBS) Teri Hatcher
