Survivor, The Sing-Off, My Skin is Killing Me

Tonight's TV Tips and the Daily Recap with Conan.

Survivor: Nicaragua, 8 p.m., CBS
Say it with me: Fah-Be-Oh! Fah-Be-Oh! Fah-Be-Oh! Fah-Be-Oh! This has been a great season. Best part so far? The way Probst says "Quitter." Like he's spitting. "Here are our quittersssss." So great.

The Sing-Off, 8 p.m., NBC
Oooooo: "The five remaining groups come together for a performance; each group sings a medley of songs by a single artist; the judges choose the contestants' next assignment." I love it when the a cappella groups start turning on each other. This is happening now.

My Skin Is Killing Me, 8 p.m., TLC
Really TLC? Like I'm not having enough trouble sleeping these days? You have to bring me this? "In Alabama, 5-year-old Payton struggles with a deadly condition called epidermolysis bullosa; in China, 22-year-old Cheng's mysterious skin condition causes fish like scales to grow over his body."

Daily Recap - Conan
Considering nearly all of Tuesday's shows are now in holiday hiatus, bear with me. I decided to recap (or in this case, recommend) something you can watch every weekday night at 11 p.m. on TBS.

Though not being a huge late night fan, I can honestly say I'm getting hooked into "Conan."

It's nothing new compared to the show's competitors, but Conan's latest endeavor has a brand new energy and a huge fan base that gives it an advantage.

Not to mention Conan is pretty hilarious. Not only do you learn a lot about what's going on in the world during his opening monologue, but Conan gives a light-hearted spin on everything from Wikileaks, to politics, to the latest crazy Miley Cyrus story.

And with awesome guests like Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford and various Glee cast members, there's almost always a guest you want to see. A great example was one night with actor Joel McHale and fashion mentor Tim Gunn; something for the boyfriend and something for me.

The people at Conan also have a great taste in music, with performances from Jack White, Kid Cudi and Cake to name a few so far.

Ever since the controversy, Conan O'Brien has, in my mind, come out on top in a very classy way. Now with his own night show again, which has been a major success, you can tell Conan is back on television because he love what he does, and not for the money.

If you're someone like me, who typically doesn't go for the late night scene but have nothing to watch, tune in to Conan and I swear you'll be a diehard Team Coco supporter.
