What's On Tonight (Monday): Let's learn Everything about Barbara Walters

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything, premiering at 12:01 a.m. on Hulu. I'm glad to know there's actually a colon in the title. For whatever reason, TheFutonCritic just didn't include that. Barbara's only been dead for less than three years, but she had been in retirement for nearly a decade, so I wouldn't blame the general public if their attiude today is, "Oh, right, the lisping TV news lady."


While I lament that no one ever got Babs herself to cry in an interview, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, June 23. All times are Eastern.
