1) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. John Mulaney (shown here), a favorite at “SNL,” returns. He was a writer on the show, co-creating Bill Hader’s Stefon character. Since then, he’s hosted six previous times, often offering parts of a stand-up comedy routine, instead of the usual host patter. Phoebe Bridgers has her second turn as music guest.
2) “Kids’ Choice Awards,” 8-9:30 p.m., CBS and Nickelodeon. After an 18-month gap, the show returns. It’s the 39th overall … and the first that’s shared by Nickelodeon (which reruns it at 9:30) and CBS. Alex Warren, a singer-songwriter and YouTuber, hosts. Taylor Swift leads nominations, followed by Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter.
3) Football. Two top-ranked teams are on the road at 7:30 p.m. ET. It’s Utah (No. 3) at Arizona (No. 22) on Fox and Texas (No. 7) at Louisiana State (No. 14) on ABC. At 3:30, Georgia (No. 2) hosts Missouri (No. 18) on ABC and Indiana (No. 4) hosts Southern California (No. 20) on CBS. At 6:15, ESPN has Florida (No. 24) at Kentucky (No. 6).
4) “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,” 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies. Two generations of Hustons won Oscars for this gold-hunting adventure. John Huston won for director and script; his dad Walter won as supporting actor. Some 37 years later, John’s daughter Anjelica also won an Oscar.
5) More movies. If you want something newer (and in color), try the Oscar-winning “Argo” (7 p.m., Showtime) or “You’ve Got Mail” (7 p.m., Pop). But skip “The End of Oak Street,” making its TV debut at 8 on HBO. A fun, fantasy concept soon spirals into mere nonsense.
