1 7 p.m. on FOX Beat Shazam

Before he became an Oscar winner for Ray, Jamie Foxx was a Fox-series regular as a co-star of In Living Color. Now, Foxx is back on Fox as host of this new game show — sort of an update of Name That Tune — which tests players on their knowledge of music. Two teams have to beat the clock, and each other, in supplying the titles of popular songs; then, the winners get to play for $1 million.

A show that was popular in syndicatio­n for many years gets a revival with this premiere of a new version, with Andy Cohen following in the footsteps of the original incarnatio­n’s Chuck Woolery as this edition’s host.

3 8 p.m. on NBC Running Wild With Bear Grylls

Grylls gets a big-name partner in adventure in this new, Red Nose Daythemed episode, as Oscar winner Julia Roberts joins him in Kenya.

4 8:15 p.m. on BRAVO Cyrus vs. Cyrus: Design and Conquer

Don’t be thrown by the “vs.” in the title of this new makeover series starring mother-daughter designers Tish and Brandi Cyrus.

5 9 p.m. on NBC Red Nose Day

A major attraction of the third annual U.S. edition of this variety event is a short film updating the popular movie Love Actually, with many of the original cast members — including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy and Andrew Lincoln, pictured — reprising their roles. The 2003 film was written and directed by Richard Curtis, who also originated this fundraiser for charities around the world, particular­ly those that benefit children.
