"High Rollers: A History of Gambling," at 7 tonight on the History Channel, is a two-hour portrait of the distinctly American story of gambling - the last great vice still tolerated, not to mention encouraged, by government. Learn how Andrew Jackson pushed games of chance on the American frontier, how a machine invented in 1895 took gambling to a new level, and how the mob carved out a piece of the action. On Sunday is another lesson of sorts, when we learn whatever happened to Peter Bogdonavich, Vivica A. Fox, David Alan Grier and Rue McClanahan. They all got roped into doing a bizarre Disney teleflick, "A Saintly Switch," at 6 p.m. on Channel 9. Bickering couple Grier and Fox fall under a hex cast by their children and wind up swapping personas. For most of the movie Grier revives his simpering "Men on Film" role from "In Living Color" while Fox tries bellowing like a big man. Also on Sunday, at least one wacky moment is guaranteed when Jack Nicholson accepts a Life Achievement Award at the "Golden Globe Awards," at 7 p.m. on Channel 41. And there's a new "Lonely Planet," this one to the unexpected thrills of Eastern Europe, at 7 p.m. on the Travel Channel.
