What's On Tonight (Saturday): Jerrod Carmichael stands up


Jerrod Carmichael: Don't Be Gay

She said yes! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 254!

Our Top Pick tonight is Jerrod Carmichael: Don't Be Gay (HBO & Max, 10 p.m.). Comedian Jerrod Carmichael came out in his standup special Rothaniel. Since then, he's done a misfire reality show and hosted the Golden Globes and Saturday Night Live. 3 years after Rothaniel, he's (finally) back with a new comedy special. I still want a Carmichael Show revival.

Elsewhere, the Doctor's old enemies have a reunion, a Surgeon's Wife has a Secret, NBC serves the Main Event, One Piece flees to the center, volleyball comes to the CW, and Lazarus faces Russians.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
