What's On Tonight (Monday): There's a parade in town! ... if you live in Pasadena

 

Via Tenor. I initially thought this was Tom Poston, not Vin Scully.

Tonight's Top Pick is The 134th Tournament of Roses Parade, presented live from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. EST on NBC, ABC, Univision and KTLA in Los Angeles. I don't know who's hosting the ABC coverage, but NBC has Mario Lopez and Ana Gasteyer. This year's grand marshal is former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz.


Let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, Jan. 2. All times are EST.
