The Housewife & The Shah Shocker (Hulu, 12:01 a.m.): The new documentary from Hulu and ABC News investigates The Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah and her assistant Stuart Smith.

We’re Here (HBO, 9 p.m., season finale): This reality TV show featuring former RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants wraps up season two with its eighth episode. The A.V. Club spoke with the show’s drag queens—Shangela, Eureka, and Bob The Drag Queen—who walked us through their fabulous season-two looks.

Jimmy Fallon is the textbook definition of “failing upward.”
I dont like his show, but he is very talented. That was evident on SNL.
If by “very talented” you mean breaking character in every single sketch and the audience loving him for it, then ya. Or if by “very talented” you mean being a poor man’s Adam Sandler on guitar, then ya.He is by far the most overrated SNL cast member.
That Jimmy Fallon persists is a true testament to the power of white mediocrity in America.
Is anyone watching Wakefield on Showtime? It’s so, SO good!
I would rather watch a variety/game show hosted by Brian Dunkleman. Fallon is the worst host ever! All that look at me look at me is way too hard to stomach.
