 Cute Kid Does a Dead-On Donald Trump Impression ("The Tonight Show") |
Random Thoughts…
Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ performance of “Saturday Night Live” could have been 90 minutes of dead air and I still would have considered it a winner after Tony Hale’s monologue cameo. … I have a theory that they’re keeping “Fear the Walking Dead” intentionally boring to make us appreciate “The Walking Dead.” … I had a chance to catch the premiere of John Cena’s “American Grit” this weekend. They could really have something if every episode is as satisfying as the first one. … Wait, why are you reading this? It’s Watchathon Week. You should be watching every episode of “The Sopranos” for free… |

This Weekend’s Trending Videos…

|
1. ‘The Tonight Show’ – I know auto-tuning a news clip and setting it to a beat isn’t new, but it still makes me laugh. Fallon’s Bernie Sanders Rap is gold. |
 |
2. ‘Little Big Shots’ – Steve Harvey could have a future as a yodeler. This is amazing. |
 |
3. ‘The Good Wife’ – Nothing is more exciting than when a show is building up steam toward a big finale. And Alicia and her crew are doing this nicely.
|
What to Watch Tonight…
 |
1. ‘Better Call Saul’ (AMC: 10:05pm ET) – You’ve come a long way from “Mr. Show,” Bob Odenkirk. And “Better Call Saul” is definitely something to be proud of. I can’t wait to see how tonight’s Season 2 finale turns out.
|
 |
2. ’12 Monkeys’ (Syfy: 9pm ET) – I don’t think anyone could have predicted how good this TV remake of the Bruce Willis/Brad Pitt 1995 time-traveling head-scratcher would turn out. Let’s hope they can keep the goodness coming during tonight’s Season 2 premiere.
|
 |
3. ‘Supergirl’ (CBS: 8pm ET) – The first season of this fun series comes to an end tonight as the Woman of Steel must literally save every person on the planet. Quite a contrast to her big-screen cousin and his Metropolis leveling ways.

 "Donald Trump" Gives Ted Cruz Some Advice on "The Tonight Show" (NBC) |
Random Thoughts…
“Orphan Black” is finally back, and I don’t want to give anything away, but my admiration for Tatiana Maslany keeps growing. … Caught “American Grit” and immediately felt terrible for how lazy I am. With all the TV I watch I need to install a treadmill in my living room. … Sorry “Rush Hour”, I tried. … How many seasons does “New Girl” have to be around until they get around to changing the title? … If only there was some amazing seven-day event where you could watch full seasons of shows for free… |

Last Night’s Trending Videos…

|
1. ‘Blacklist’ – If you are a ‘Blacklist’ fan and you missed last night’s show, drop everything and watch it now. I’m not kidding. Stay off social media, don’t answer your phone, this is your top priority. |
 |
2. ’60 Days In’ – This is the reality show where innocent civilians go undercover as prison inmates. Well, last night one of those volunteers was attacked by a real inmate. Horrifying. Also riveting. |
 |
3. ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live‘ – I know Kimmel has been doing “This Week in Unnecessary Censorship” for something like 30 years, but it still makes me giggle. I’m an eight-year-old. |
What to Watch Tonight…
|
1. ‘Blue Bloods’ (CBS: 10pm ET) – So, a serial killer leaves a note on a victim to taunt Danny. You have to be really confident in your serial killing skills to pull a move like that.
|
 |
2. ‘Tanked’ (Animal Planet: 10:05pm ET) – I am a sucker for shows where people get to show off how creative they are. I’m talking “Shark Tank,” I’m talking “Cake Boss,” and I’m definitely talking “Tanked.” These guys are capable of some amazing things.
|
 |
3. ‘Grimm’ (NBC: 9pm ET) – Keiko Agena is appearing in tonight’s episode. So, that falls under my rule where I watch shows that feature “Gilmore Girls” alumni.

 Why Did This Silly Viral Photo Lead to Threats of Violence? ('The Internet Ruined My Life') |
Random Thoughts…
“Survivor” Host Jeff Probst has been guilty of over-hyping bad seasons in the past, so I was nervous with the lack of hype for “Survivor: Kaoh Rong.” But, it’s quickly becoming one of the best original-cast seasons I’ve ever seen. Last night’s idol-filled Tribal Council was a doozy. … Big cuts on “The Voice” last night. Some serious talent was sent packing. … Oof, the medicine-ball sit-up challenge on “Strong” would’ve had me reaching for a bucket. … I think I like fake-conservative-pundit Stephen Colbert more than I like “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert. … So, if you know someone who watches “Empire,” give them a hug today. They went through a lot last night.

1. ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ – An exclusive look at NBC’s newest hit show “Chicago Melon.” Seriously, it looks awesome.
|
 |
2. ‘Kocktails with Khloe’ – Are the Kardashian Kids watching “The People v. O.J. Simpson”? C’mon…I think we all know the answer to that.
|
|
3. ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live‘ – Can people name more Avengers or more U.S. Presidents? Things like this make me sad for society. Still funny though.
|
What to Watch Tonight…
|
1. ‘Orphan Black‘ (BBC America: 10pm ET) – Alright, Clone Club…Season 4 has finally arrived. And if you don’t count yourself among the Club’s members, you should really consider giving this show a shot. Tatiana Maslany deserves all the acting awards ever.
|
 |
2. ‘American Grit’ (FOX: 9pm ET) – “The Champ Is…on FOX?” Huh… Anywho, WWE Superstar John Cena tries his hand at hosting with this new military themed reality show. Sixteen men and women will push themselves to their physical limits while under the guidance of some of the Armed Forces’ top names.
|
 |
3. ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ (ABC: 8pm ET) – We’re getting a double dose of the gang from Seattle Grace tonight and it seems like the theme is, “What is Ben thinking?!”

 Amy Schumer Defends a Photo Jimmy Fallon Found on Her Phone (Tonight Show) |
Random Thoughts…
Alright, I’m officially prepared to go on record saying “The People v. O.J. Simpson” has been the best thing I’ve seen on TV all year. … ”The Amazing Race” just isn’t clicking with me this season. Maybe the stakes aren’t as high because the teams are already famous? … Why isn’t anyone talking about the young cast of “Blackish”? All four of them (Marcus Scribner, Yara Shahidi, Miles Brown, and Marsai Martin) bring the funny every week. … Now that “American Idol” is done, I’m setting the reboot over/under at 1.5 years. … Anyone notice Christina Aguilera’s weird half gloves on “The Voice”? They would make terrible oven mitts…

1. ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live‘ – So…I love me some Marvel movies, but I didn’t really know much about “Doctor Strange.” After watching the trailer on “Kimmel” I am fully in. Fully in.
|
 |
2. ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers‘ – Seth’s staff is sick of hearing about his new baby so they stage in intervention. Hilarious.
|
 |
3. ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ – We’ve known about Yolanda’s divorce announcement for a while, but that didn’t lessen the impact. Yikes.
|
What to Watch Tonight…
|
1. ‘Stronger‘ (NBC: 9pm ET) – Ten women working with personal trainers to achieve their physical and mental goals? Sign me up! I’m a sucker for shows where people push themselves to their limits. |
 |
2. ‘Survivor: Kaôh Rōng’ (CBS: 8pm ET) – It’s borderline cruel to make us wait seven days for the next installment after Cydney’s stunning blindside last week. Will she be able to keep the momentum going or will Scot and Jason be able to regroup? |
 |
3. ‘The Last Panthers‘ (Sundance: 10pm ET) – This excellent six-episode is what you get when you mix an amazing cast (Oscar Nominees John Hurt, Samantha Morton) with a gripping crime story. I don’t want to give too much away, but this is worth your time.
