| Life, Death & Money, "Redd Foxx" |
Hey you big dummy! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 22!
Tonight's Top Pick is Reelz' occasion series Life, Death & Money, which profiles various celebrities and explores what happened after a celebrity died. (On Earth, not the afterlife.) Tonight, comedian Redd Foxx gets the spotlight, who could have had a career comeback with The Royal Family when he died in 1991, leaving others to pay his millions of debts. (Saturdays listings are slow.)
Elsewhere, Drama Club presents Minnesota: The Musical, the fall of a family on the Riviera is still unraveling, a Side Hustler becomes a mascot, the Promised Neverland is torn about killing demons, Margot Robbie robs banks, Final Space preps to rid the universe of Titans, Wonder Woman lives in the 1980s, and the cool commenters assemble for the final SNL live thread of the season.
