What's On Tonight (Monday): Nothing Something Special

Via Vogue

Whoa, what a night for new stuff - and some from unexpected sources.

TOP PICKS

⭐ 🎤 Nothing Special (Netflix, 3:01 AM) One last special from Norm MacDonald, filmed in his living room during the summer of 2020 as a 'just in case' final standup set. 

⭐ 🏛️ Theodore Roosevelt (History Channel, 8:00 PM) 'Executive produced by world-renowned presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize®-winning bestselling author Doris Kearns Goodwin, Appian Way’s Jennifer Davisson and Leonardo DiCaprio and RadicalMedia, this five-hour television event is based upon Goodwin’s New York Times bestseller, Leadership: In Turbulent Times and will provide a rich, panoramic portrait of the first modern President of the United States–Theodore Roosevelt, a champion of social justice, a passionate conservationist and the self-proclaimed “bull moose” who once delivered an 84-minute speech bleeding from the chest after being shot in a failed assassination attempt.' Concludes tomorrow night.

⭐ 👩🏻‍🍳 Julia (CNN, 8:00 PM) 'From Academy Award®-nominated and Emmy® Award-winning filmmakers Julie Cohen and Betsy West (RBG), JULIA tells the story of Julia Child, the legendary cookbook author and television superstar who changed the way Americans think about food, television, and women’s roles in American life. Using never-before-seen archival footage, personal photos, first-person narratives, and cutting-edge, mouth-watering food cinematography, the film traces Julia Child’s surprising and empowering path, from her struggles to create and publish the revolutionary Mastering the Art of French Cooking, which has sold more than 2.5 million copies to date, to her emergence as an unlikely television sensation in her fifties. The film illuminates Julia Child’s casual upheaval of the male-dominated culinary and television worlds, as she almost single-handedly crashed the *boys' party* at the highest levels of creative gastronomy, shattering established notions that the only women Americans wanted to see on TV were young, submissive, and conventionally beautiful.'

⭐ 🏛️ The American Presidency With Bill Clinton (History Channel, 10:30 PM) Exploring 'the history of the American presidency and the struggle for a more perfect union across six themed episodes: race, extremism, the struggle for rights, presidential vision, global power. This premium series features expert commentary from renowned authors, historians and witnesses to history including Pulitzer Prize-winners Jon Meacham and Annette Gordon Reed, as well as Dr. Douglas Brinkley, Dr. Edna Medford Green, Dr. H.W. Brands and George Takei.' WHAR ALIENS?
