What's On Tonight (Sunday): Halftimers are not like us

Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show

Homerun! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, February 9!

Our Top Pick tonight is Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show (Fox & Tubi, 8ish p.m.). This year's halftime performances comes from 22 time Grammy- and Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar with SZA guesting. His albums have been some of the most critically-acclaimed of recent years and his feud with Drake only elevated his works. A diss track won 2 of last Sunday's top Grammys. The NFL and sponsors spend so much money on the actual show that the poor, cash-strapped NFL can't even afford to directly pay these halftime performers.

Elsewhere, T-Swift returns to the Big Game, Rob Lowe heads to The Floor, puppies have a Bowl, Catchy Comedy is back to Mayberry, and mushrooms have Side Effects.
