The hustler

Oscar nominee Amy Adams stops by "Inside the Actors Studio," where host James Lipton should have a note card dedicated solely to her time at the Chanhassen Theatres. Knowing Lipton, though, he'll probably turn over that allotted time to focus on the subject of his guest's cleavage in "American Hustle." 7 p.m., Bravo

Marty and the Mob

With "The Wolf of Wall Street," director Martin Scorsese and actor Leo DiCaprio aimed for the funny bone. For their 2006 collaboration, "The Departed," they went after the gut with one harrowing scene after another. The film, which may go down in history as Jack Nicholson's last great showcase, finally earned Scorsese his long-awaited Oscar. 7 p.m., AMC

Rebel yell

ABC is most likely airing the very last episode ever of "Super Fun Night," a perfect example of how having a great star doesn't guarantee success. Rebel Wilson is a scream when she's playing the confidence card, but in this disappointing sitcom, her self-deprecating character just came across as sad. Better luck next time, Rebel. 8:31 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5
