What's On Tonight (Monday): Third time's the charm, Sydney Sweeney?

Tonight's Top Pick is the premiere of Reality, which may offer Sydney Sweeney a third Emmy nomination. She's previously been nominated for Euphoria and The White Lotus. That would be an impressive feat, getting nominated (albeit over the course of two years) for three separate roles in projects that all aired on the same network. To the best of my knowledge, it's only ever happened before, again over the course of two years, with Cloris Leachman: The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Migrants and an appearance on Cher.

While I prepare to nerd out over Emmy history, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Memorial Day, Monday, May 29. All times are EST.
