What's On Tonight (Sunday): Give me a T! What does that spell?

Tony Awards

Let's this groove get you to groove! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, June 7!

Our Top Pick tonight is the 79th Tony Awards (CBS & Paramount+ Premium, 8 p.m. / Paramount+, Monday). This might be the last time the award ceremony plays on broadcast TV. The contract from the CBS Les era is done and the Tonys have never been a profitable venture. It was about prestige. We'll have to see where it lands next year. But Broadway will always have it's best, baby!

Elsewhere, Questlove gives Earth, Wind & Fire documentary treatment, the Interview is now only about Vampire LestatThis Land was made for CNN, HGTV is Building Baeumler100 Cooks take on Food Network, and Antoni Porowski is the Best.
