What's On Tonight (Tuesday): After 24 seasons, can we really say any winner has the Voice?

 

Via Giphy.

May we all find someone who makes us as happy as competent strangers make Niall Horan. Tonight's Top Pick is the 24th season finale of The Voice, a show I've never actually watched. I know, I know, I'm living a lie, naming it Top Pick. For all I know, it's absolute crap. But darn it, Niall just looks so overjoyed ...


While I wonder if they've ever considered a reunion show, The Voices, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, Dec. 19. All times are EST.
