TLC announced yesterday the names of the celebrities who will appear in the upcoming season of Who Do You Think You Are?, scheduled to air Sunday, April 3, at 9:00 p.m.
Among the celebrities featured is Chris Noth, who learns his ancestors suffered during one of the greatest catastrophes in American history. No mention was made in the news release about whether the actor will spend time exploring his Canadian roots, but it is doubtful.
