1) Tony Awards, 8 p.m. ET, CBS. “Hamilton” (shown here) reached Broadway in August of 2015, scoring instantly. Ten months later, it won 11 Tonys and the Tonycast ratings jumped 35 percent. Now the original cast returns for a 10th-year performance. There will also be numbers from music from the nominated musicals (including ones with Audra McDonald and Nicole Scherzinger) and, presumably, host Cynthia Erivo.
2) Sports surge. The United Football League has reached its semi-finals. It’s Michigan at Birmingham at 3 p.m. ET on ABC, then D.C. at St. Louis at 6 on Fox. That second game overlaps with basketball: At 8 p.m. (with a pre-game show at 7:30), ABC has Indiana at Oklahoma City, in the second game of the best-of-seven NBA finals.
3) “Animal Control” and “Going Dutch,” 9 and 9:30 p.m., Fox. The only Fox comedies pop up here, for post-football reruns. “Animal Control” has a good one, with Frank (Joel McHale) reluctantly asking for help from a nemesis (Ken Jeong). “Dutch” has a fairly good one: Maggie’s sometimes-lover visits the Army base, while her dad (Denis Leary) fumes.
4) “The Chi,” 9 p.m., Showtime. Mothers Day gets complicated for Emmett, as he tries to simultaneously celebrate the moms of his children. Meanwhile, Alicia gathers women who have lost their children; her vengeful grief grows.
5) ALSO: On the light side, CW has the delightful “Back to the Future” (1985) at 7:30 p.m.; Freeform has a couple of the best recent Disney cartoons — “Encanto” (2021) at 6:20 and “Coco” (2017) at 8:30. On the opposite side is “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” at 9 p.m. on AMC, rerunning at 10:17; Maggie considers an uneasy alliance.
