‘Shark Tank’ Season 11 Episode 20 wil not be aired today and here’s why. ABC is airing the NFL Draft 2020 which makes for a major annual sports event.

As disappointing as it may be to miss the popular business reality show and watch some of the country’s most innovative entrepreneurs and aspiring businessmen/women share their ideas, it is after all the NFL.

The NFL Draft is live on air on various major networks instead of the scheduled shows at the same time. Every year, new players for each team are picked for the upcoming season. While this year, there is a change in the way NFL drafts are done. Every year, this event turns out to be a gala as the teams all gather at a public venue and make their biddings for star players. But, unfortunately, this year, owing to the Coronavirus lockdown, there is no physical gathering. Rather, the teams are holding the event virtually, from their respective homes/private spaces, through online conferencing.

However, now that ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’ is not airing its scheduled episode, here’s what you might want to know about the upcoming episode.

As always, four entrepreneurs will present their business pitches to the panel of sharks presided by Lori Greiner, Barbara Corcoran, Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, Daymond John and Robert Herjavec, while also addressing a guest shark, who appears every now and then. Here’s the official synopsis of the upcoming episode,

“An entrepreneur from Old Hickory, Tennessee, uses her Southern charm and cooking skills to pitch the Sharks on expanding her fried food empire. A father and daughter duo from Alexandria, Virginia, wheel in their gardening product as they ask the Sharks to help them add to their toolshed of ideas. An entertainer from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, gets the Sharks moving as he showcases his unique approach to exercise classes. Finally, a creative businesswoman from Queens, New York, paints the Sharks a picture of how to grow her service that connects customers with local artists.”

Who will take the sweet deal home and which shark will find their best bet?

Watch ‘Shark Tank’ Season 11, when it returns on May 1, at 8pm/9c, only on ABC.
