What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Who will be The Voice?

Tonight's Top Pick is the 28th season finale of The Voice. I could recognize Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg, but had to look up to realize that's Michael Bublé. I thought it was Robin Thicke.

While I pat myself on the back for getting in my obligatory acknowledgement of The Voice before the end of the year, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Tuesday, Dec. 16. All times are Eastern.
