That's hot! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 8!
Tonight's Top Pick is the Toonami series Fire Force, which wraps up its second season tonight. The show takes place in a reality where certain people have the power of fire.

The season will end with some twists, though a third season has yet to be formally announced.
Elsewhere, a billionaire hosts SNL, Final Space deals with the fallout of a death, Meerkats!, Drama Club faces the football team, Side Hustlers search for a rat, Selena Gomez hosts a concert to support the vaccine, My Hero Academia is back, and The Promised Neverland goes to an abandoned temple.
