What's On Tonight (Tuesday): This WOT Post Needs No Introduction

 

Courtesy Buzzfeed.

Tonight's Top Pick is the fifth season finale of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction. To date, David Letterman has not had Julia Roberts on. It looks like we'll have to wait for that one, as David's apparently only premiering one episode with a different guest. Anyway, for the record, the Top Pick runner-up was the return of The Handmaid's Tale.


While I wonder if sleeping with my enemy is any worse than loving trouble, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, April 8. All times are EST.
