What's On Tonight: We Are the World

 

Via Yarn.

Tonight's Top Pick was originally Jimmy Kimmel Live!, featuring Vice President Kamala Harris. She's not going to appear after all, so instead it's Hip Hop World.


While I marvel at how What's On Tonight can change hours before publication, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, April 16. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Hip Hop World, 12:01 a.m., Amazon. Premiere. "Explore DJ Khaled and Lola Brooke‘s distinct but similar journeys as they search for inspiration worldwide. Khaled will take viewers on a trip to Jamaica, where he’ll break down the inspiration behind his 2022 single, 'These Streets Know My Name.' Brooke will explore Paris with music business veteran Lenny Santiago, where she uncovers the origins of France’s hip-hop scene, all while checking off a bucket list item. Lenny S. serves as her tour guide as he shows off some of his favorite places in Paris while she works on her Amazon Music original track 'Touch Down in Paris.'"

Ctrl+Alt-Desire, 3:01 a.m., Paramount+. Premiere. "Following director Colin Archdeacon's relentless years-long investigation of the shocking killings that rocked a quiet Florida town, Ctrl+Alt+Desire opens a dark door to the haunting case of Grant Amato, a 29-year-old Florida man accused of murdering his own family execution style for the love of a cam girl." Three episodes available.
