1) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m, NBC. Before he became a pop-culture figure (by dating Taylor Swift), Travis Kelce (shown here0 was merely a football star. Three weeks after his Kansas City Chiefs beat his brother Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, he hosted the episode that reruns today. It also includes Jason and the music guest, Kelsea Ballerini.
2) Football, 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC and NBC. Before watching a football guy host “SNL,” you can see some actual football. ABC has Notre Dame (ranked No. 11 after a last-second loss to Ohio State) at Duke (No. 17); NBC has Michigan State at Iowa. Earlier, you might try Kansas (No. 24) at Texas (No. 3) at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC and Louisiana State (No. 13) at Mississippi (No. 20), at 6 on ESPN.
3) “Great Chocolate Showdown,” 8 p.m., CW. We’re a week from the finals in this Canadian baking competition. A doctor, a police detective, a medical assistant and a food-delivery driver vie for the spots in the final three.
4) “A Harvest Homecoming,” 8-10 p.m., Great America Family. If nothing else, this will make you eager for October. From the opening shots, it’s filled with gorgeous autumn views. Trevor Donovan, who seems to be constructed in the Pitt/Redford factory, plays a teacher who’s inexplicably unlucky in love. During a temporary teaching gig, he returns to the family orchard. Nothing will surprise you, but there are pretty pictures along the way.
5) ALSO: In the final weekend of the regular baseball season, Fox has games at 7:15 p.m. ET; varying by region, it’s Texas-Seattle or Boston-Baltimore. At 8, CBS has a “CSI: Hawaii” rerun, with Chase (the medical examiner) kidnapped by an Army Ranger accused of murder. And cable has pre-Halloween comedies – “Monsters, Inc.” (2001) at 8 p.m. on Disney, “Beetlejuice” (1988) at 7, 9 and 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. on the Paramount Network.
