Alright. Tonight's Top Pick is the special that is airing across many networks and VOD services, One World: Together at Home. It is hosted by the big three broadcast late night night hosts — Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel — and the Sesame Street crew and features a star-studded lineup curator by the Mother Monster herself, Lady Gaga. The special, a benefit for the World Health Organisation and Global Citizen, has already raised $35 million to support and applaud healthcare workers in the fight against COVID-19, so just sit back and enjoy the show. Elsewhere, Bindi Irwin gets married, Food Wars concludes its Toonami run, a Chicago priest moonlights as a detective, animals in India are rescued, and Stuber! Here's looking at you kid, here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, April 18!

Elsewhere, LaRue is enamored with a snake-wielding fence. Famous singer Johnny Angel is arrested, and Renko invites him home. Oh, and Belker finally marries Robin!
