1) “NCIS: Origins,” 8-10 p.m., CBS. If you missed the series debut Monday, catch this quick rerun. It’s intense and involving, but has moments of fun. Austin Stowell is sturdy as Gibbs, a young widower reporting for duty in 1991. He’s mostly silent and solemn, but surrounded by colorful colleagues (shown here), led by his high-voltage boss, Mike Franks.
2) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. It’s the fourth straight new episode for “SNL.” Michael Keaton – fresh from passing $400 million worldwide with his “Beetlejuice” sequel – hosts. Billie Eilish has her fourth turn as music guest; in one of the previous ones, she also hosted.
3) Football. Top-ranked Texas hosts Georgia (ranked No. 5) at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. Two other promising match-ups are at 3:30 – Alabama (No. 7) at Tennessee (No. 11) on ABC, Michigan (No. 24) at Illinois (No. 22) on CBS.
4) More sports. At 7:30 p.m., CW has NASCAR. At 8:08, it’s baseball – barring a four-game sweep (check Sports): The Guardians host the Yankees in the fifth game of a best-of-seven series, on TBS, TruTV and Max. Also tonight: soccer on Ion, figure-skating on E, wrestling on TNT.
5) More: BET reruns its Hip Hop Awards, from 8-10 p.m. The Paramount Network has “Top Gun” and its sequel (34 years apart), at 7:35 and 10:05 p.m.; Showtime has “Godfather” and its sequel, at 7:30 and 10:30.
