What's On Tonight (Monday): Late night TV's back, and so's Schwarzenegger!

 

Via Tenor.

Tonight's Top Pick is the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live, with guests including Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold's plugging his new book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life. I'll be honest, it sounds like a good read.


While I skim an advance copy for a chapter on avoiding "girly-manhood," let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, Oct. 2. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Appendage, 12:01 a.m., Hulu. Premiere. "Hannah (Hadley Robinson), a young fashion designer, seems fine on the surface, but secretly struggles with debilitating self-doubt. Soon these buried feelings begin to make Hannah physically sick and sprout into a ferocious growth on her body: The Appendage. As Hannah's health declines, The Appendage begins to fuel her anxieties: her perceived lack of talent at work, her deteriorating relationships with her boyfriend and best friend, and her parents' lack of love and understanding. At her lowest, Hannah makes a shocking discovery: there are others out there like her."

Mrs. Sidhu Investigates, 3:01 a.m., Acorn TV. "Mrs. Sidhu is asked to be an in-house caterer for a software company called Appenda, located in Berkshire's renowned technology hub. But the company's sterling reputation is threatened, and Mrs. Sidhu's interest piqued, when Appenda's CEO is found dead, strangled at his desk the night he signed a deal to sell the company. Mrs. Sidhu has Chief Inspector Burton's ear on the case, and together they work to crack it, determined to catch the murderer before they make their next kill. Meanwhile, Tez gets himself into trouble with a young entrepreneur." Season finale next week.
