1) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. There’s one more rerun tonight, before “SNL” returns to new episodes … unless a writers’ strike scuttles the rest of the season. Pedro Pascal (shown here), the star of “The Mandalorian” and “The Last of Us,” hosts, with Coldplay as music guest. Next Saturday (barring a strike) has Pete Davidson, two days after his “Bupkis” series debuts on Peacock.
2) Sports takeover. It’s the final day of the pro-football draft, with Rounds 4-7 from noon to 7 p.m. ET on ABC, ESPN and the NFL Network. That faces baseball (4:05 p.m. ET on Fox, then the Cardinals-Dodgers at 9:10 on Fox Sports 1), football (Arlington-Houston, 7 p.m., ESPN2) and playoff games, if needed. There’s basketball on TNT and hockey on ABC (8 p.m. ET), ESPN and TBS.
3) “True Lies” and “CSI: Vegas, 8 and 9 p.m., CBS. Yes, these are reruns; that’s especially obvious because “CSI” has a Halloween episode: It turns out that the scary mannequin at a haunted house is really a dead body. Before that, the “True Lies” heroes reluctantly work with a merciless assassin.
4) All day, Turner Classic Movies. It’s the second-to-last day of a month-long tribute to Warner Brothers’ 100th anniversary. Now, we get small films – at 6 p.m., the hilarious “The In-Laws” (1979) with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin; at 8, “Local Hero” (19830, a quietly witty tale of an American in small-town Scotland. Also, the Barbra Streisand comedy “What’s Up, Doc?” (1972) at 4:15; the art-house romance “Crossing Delancey” (1988) at 10.
5) More movies. NBC has “Fate of the Furious” (2017) from 8-11 p.m., with Dom (Vin Diesel) going rogue. The Paramount Network has “Lord of the Rings” films at 8 a.m., noon and 4 p.m., repeating the first two at 8 and midnight. Freeform wraps an animation marathon with “Minions” (2015) at 7:20 p.m. and “Sing” (2016) at 9:25. And the Disney Channel has “Monsters University” (2013) at 8 p.m., preceded by “Monsters at Work” episodes at 6.
