I was going to do a Notable Opening Nights megapost today, but ran out of time. (Don't worry, I will catch up.) In the meantime, the last round of eligibility determinations were made before this coming Tuesday's announcement of the Tony nominations. I'll make my predictions before the big day -- and enjoy the fun of inevitably shitting the bed with wrong guesses. In the meantime, here's a look at some fields.

And now, the three remaining designers [redacted] are left to battle it out for the top prize: a fashion spread of their winning collection in an upcoming issue of our magazine, 100K from TD and the honour of being named the Project Runway Canada winner.
Tonight's Top Pick is the series premiere of Man on Fire, happening at 3 a.m. on Netflix. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II stars in and is one of the executive producers of this adaptation of A.J. Quinnell's 1980 novel. It's perhaps best remembered for a 2004 film version starring Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning.

Can't blame everything on the devil. But it sure would be convenient.
Their mission is to create a positive impact on people, the planet, and the food system.
Roughly one-third of the food produced globally is either lost or wasted every year.
And the biggest culprit is the household, along with overproduction and supply chain issues.
It's not just about leftovers, it's about spoilage and improper storage.
Here are today's contestants:
- Beth Orlansky, a retired public interest attorney from Jackson, Mississippi;
- Ian Samson, a firefighter from Matthews, North Carolina; and
- Greg Shahade, a chess player from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Greg is a two-day champ with winnings of $54,601.

| Widow's Bay |
Sharing is caring! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 29!
Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of Widow's Bay (Apple TV, midnight). This horror comedy from Parks & Rec writer Katie Dippold and helmed by Hiro Murai centers on small town-life (Schitt's Creek, Northern Exposure, Gilmore Girls) where everyone believes the town is cursed. And they might be right. Matthew Rhys is the outsider mayor. I'm going to assume this is an Americans sequel series.
Elsewhere, PBS teaches adults about sharing, the Testaments scribe an origin story, Nova traces democracy's origins, Imperfect finds an end, MrBeast is a Survivor, Margo goes to Vegas, and the P.D. kick it old school by investigating a VHS tape.
Here are today's contestants:
- Chris Argento, a high school teacher originally from Bayonne, New Jersey;
- Alice Jiang, a student originally from Redwood City, California; and
- Greg Shahade, a chess player from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Greg is a one-day champ with winnings of $33,000.

- Katrina Puckett, a teacher from Washington Court House, Ohio; and
- Jamie Ding, a bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Jamie is a 31-day champ with winnings of $882,605.

Tonight's Top Pick is Antiques Roadshow, because I'm saving The Rookie for its season finale next week, and The Neighborhood for its series finale on May 11. I have no idea what that lady's so amazed about.

| The Audacity |
Sunday! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, April 26!
Our Top Pick tonight is The Audacity (AMC+, 3 a.m. / AMC, 9 p.m.). This new series takes on tech bros and the people around them and it might be aiming for too much accuracy because the show isn't that enjoyable. Even with Sarah Goldberg. These are terrible, terrible people who see themselves as gods. See also: Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever.
Elsewhere, Nicola Coughlan was Live from London, Ben Sasse has a Minute, the Comeback didn't sign an NDA, Guy has a colonoscopy, Rooster gets emotional, A&E still loves the WWE, Euphoria likes Paladin, a new Last Chef Standing begins, and Bob's brings quality back to Fox.
