What's On Tonight (Saturday): Stand Up, just like that

Stand Up to Cancer

We get the funniest looks from ev'ryone we meet! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, August 19!

Our Top Pick tonight is the widely-available Stand Up to Cancer (Various networks & streamers, 8 p.m.). The annual fundraising special for the Stand Up to Cancer charitable program is pre-recorded this year and the celebrity appearances are from year's past or were filmed before the duel strikes began. It is hosted by Katie Couric and President Biden will make an appearance.

Elsewhere, Paris is full of Danger, it's Never Too Late for a quinceañera, FLCL (re)wraps its first finale, Naruto is a shield, and Tubi goes Nazi hunting.
