Michael Strahan interviews Barack Obama; there are features on Black farmers, artists and businesses, plus looks at soul food and at new links with whites in small towns and with Asian-American religious leaders in cities.

2) “Friday Night Vibes” debut, 7:30 p.m., TBS. Each Friday, Tiffany Haddish hosts a double-feature, while chatting with friends. Some films will be comedies, which are her specialty; next week are Kevin Hart’s “National Security” and “Get Hard.” But the opener falls on the weekend of Juneteenth and Father’s Day, she’ll have two “Rocky” sequels – “Creed” (2015) and, at 10:15, “Creed II” (2018). Snoop Dogg visits and recaps the all-time greatest knock-outs; Deon Cole (“Black-ish”) co-hosts.

3) “Magnum P.I.,” 8 and 9 p.m., CBS. These reruns (in reverse order) chart the relationship between Higgins and Dr. Ethan Shah. In the second hour, they have their first date; in the first, he asks her to go with him on an extended trip. In that one, she and Magnum probe a stalking case; in the second, they try to repo a plane … which, alas, is used by the drug cartel.

4) “I, Tonya,” 8 p.m., Showtime, and “Physical,” any time, Apple TV+. Both are skillfully directed by Craig Gillespie, with a fondness for complicated women and the foolish men around them. “Tonya,” a delight, won an Academy Award for Allison Janney, as the eccentric mother of skater Tonya Harding, and a nomination for Margot Robbie, as Harding. “Physical” takes a bit longer to get rolling, but we get three of the season’s 10 episodes today; Rose Byrne plays an overwhelmed (for now) 1980s mom.

5) More streaming. Nine days after debuting the terrific “Loki” series, Disney+ has a major film. “Luca” – teen sea creatures in human form – is a Pixar film, originally aimed at theaters. Instead, in the U.S. it will only be at the Disney-owned El Capitan in Los Angeles, with the rest of us streaming it. Also, Netflix has the movie “Fatherhood,” two days after the documentary series “Penguin Town.”
