Good day, err'body, and welcome to the 822nd What's On Tonight since the Kinjapocalypse! Tonight I wanted to remind you that Rel was once a thing because Rel, the man, is back with an HBO comedy special at a Los Angeles High School. Yes, the show was terrible. But I still like Rel. Elsewhere in TV land, Dagger is back for Thanksgiving break, giant maggots invade Wales, and the Turtles are already back, plus another Saturday full of Christmas movies. So believe it or not it's just meeeeeeeeeee, here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, November 23!

But once the money is accessed, Milland wants all money, so he kills his nephew.
