Tonight's Top Pick is the season finale of America's Most Wanted: Missing Persons, which I forgot only premiered two weeks ago. Springtime filler, what can you do?


While I shrug and remember my thanks for the WOT post only taking a half-hour to write, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, May 12. All times are EST.


STREAMING
Greg Gutfeld's What Did I Miss?, 3:01 a.m., Fox Nation. Series premiere. "From January 20th through April 13th of this year, four contestants were in complete isolation in upstate New York, with no contact to the outside world - no phones, internet, television, or social media. Upon their return to society, the contestants compete in an epic showdown as they are tasked with figuring out what actually happened during their seclusion. Gutfeld will present dozens of scenarios, and the contestants must separate real headlines from fake ones. With a prize of $50,000 on the line, their instincts and senses of humor will be put to the test in front of a live audience and a panel featuring Gutfeld! regulars Kat Timpf and Jamie Lissow."
