We’ve seen them dance. We’ve watched them skate. You know who they are: celebrities, the glitterati, the bold-faced names and recipients of goody bags. Now you can watch them saute and simmer on “Celebrity Cooking Showdown” (8 p.m., NBC). Will spatulas ever be the same?

Try to contain your excitement. Tom Arnold just might make an omelette.

The celebrities, including Arnold, singer Big Kenny and Miss USA Chelsea Cooley, will have professional mentors to help them navigate their way around the flying grease and boiling water.

One of these kitchen wizards is Wolfgang Puck, who is not only a chef but also a celebrity. Theoretically, he could appear on a celebrity dancing or skating show – but only his celebrity half. Tonight, Puck will be all chef. He’ll be joined by Cat Cora and Govind Armstrong. Will tonight’s appearance help them cross the ineffable threshold separating mere cook from celebrity chef?

¢ Ingrid Vanderveldt plays host to “American Made” (7 p.m., CNBC), a new program celebrating American business leaders. Her first guest is Howard Schultz, chairman of Starbucks. Future installments of “Made” will profile Red McCombs of Clear Channel, Christie Hefner of Playboy, John Mackey of Whole Foods and the Maloof brothers of the Sacramento Kings and the Palms Hotel and Casino.

¢ On tonight’s “Girlfriends” (8 p.m., UPN), Joan tries to talk her cousin Melanie out of following her NFL-bound boyfriend to San Diego. Melanie ignores her but finds herself unprepared for the role of team “wife.” This episode sets up the story for “The Game,” a possible spin-off of “Girlfriends.”

But with the UPN and WB networks folding into the CW next fall, there’s no certainty as to which shows, or spin-offs, will make the cut.

¢ The vintage game show “I’ve Got a Secret” gets a makeover and update with a new perch on the Game Show Network (10:30 p.m.). Bill Dwyer is host. The panel includes Billy Bean, Suzanne Westenhoefer, Jermaine Taylor and Frank DeCaro. Viewers may remember DeCaro as the movie critic for “The Daily Show.” He now is host of “The Frank DeCaro Show” on Sirius Radio.
