CELEBRITY COOKING SHOWDOWN-- It's night one of the exciting primetime cooking competition with the stars. World-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck, Cat Cora ("Iron Chef America") and Govind Armstrong (executive chef, Table 8, Los Angeles) will team up with a celebrity tonight to prepare their own three-course dream meal. After one-on-one coaching and a culinary "boot camp," competition will play out in real time as the stars race against the clock in this adrenaline-filled event. Tonight Tom Arnold, country sensation Big Kenny, and Miss USA Chelsea Cooley will compete to move on to Thursday night's finals and the ultimate cook-off! Alan Thicke ("Growing Pains") hosts the series; Colin Cowie ("Everyday Elegance with Colin Cowie") and New York magazine restaurant critic Gael Greene serve as in-studio judges.
