What's On Tonight (Saturday): Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' Wild, Stayin' Wild

Staying Wild

Hotcha! Whoopee! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 3!

Our Top Pick tonight is Staying Wild (National Geographic Wild, 10 & 10:30 p.m.), which has previously been called Wildlife Rehab. (It might be going through a rebranding?) It's yet another Canadian import airing on Nat Geo Wild, this time following professionals as they rehabilitate injured wildlife. Lots of critter cuteness, too. Do you really need to know anything else?

Elsewhere, Quinta Brunson is Live from New York again, Lin-Manuel Miranda picks Two, Ruby needs to recall the DoctorBig City Greens turns 100, Lazarus has trouble with Popcorn, and a former child star meets their Biggest Fan.
