“The gang is preparing for the annual “Up Late” live Christmas special with, special guest Mindy Kaling. Animal is in charge of tinsel, Sweetums hangs the lights, Sam Eagle strategically places the mistletoe - everything is in order. Or so it seems. Meanwhile, Miss Piggy offers relationship advice to Fozzie, which forces her to reevaluate her relationship with Kermit.

“Everything is in order. Or so it seems.” Sounds ominous!

iZombie (9PM, CW)
Liv, Detective Babineaux, and Ravi, work together in solving the murder of Chris Allred (guest star Jay Hindle), who was a high school shop teacher by day, and a vigilante crime-fighter named “The Fog” by night. Liv gets into trouble while on superhero brains and becomes a little too much for Clive to handle. Meanwhile, Major (Robert Buckley) has an eye opening conversation with a new friend. Lastly, Blaine (David Anders) forces Liv to do the unthinkable.
Some iZombie trivia: “Chris Allred” is, of course, a portmanteau of writer Chris Roberson and illustrator Michael Allred, the creative team behind the iZombie comic book series!
