BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

For his fourth holiday TV special, Michael Bublé gets some new digs – Radio City Music Hall – and a guest who, as musical specials go, simply cannot be beat. Yes, it’s Barbra Streisand. Other guests: Ariana Grande, Miss Piggy and, naturally, the Rockettes.

ASCENSION

Syfy, 9:00 p.m. ET

Part 3 of 3. The 2014: A Space Odyssey continues tonight, but the story, like the voyage, may or may not conclude with the end of tonight’s “final” installment. Not if there’s a sequel…

AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

How creepy is this? One of the guest stars in tonight’s show is Lily Rabe, reprising her possessed Sister Mary Eunice role from American Horror Story: Asylum. Same role, different story entirely. Which means these two TV worlds exist as one… which suggests that the other seasons of stories might interconnect also.

THE COLBERT REPORT

Comedy Central, 11:31 p.m. ET

Phil Klay, author of Redeployment, the 2014 National Book Award winner for fiction, is the scheduled guest on Stephen Colbert’s penultimate show. You can bet that’s because Colbert feels the book, and the guest, is important – so you ought to tune in on those merits alone.

THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON

CBS, 12:35 a.m. ET

Craig Ferguson has two more CBS shows after tonight – and tonight, he makes room for Betty White, whom he “rediscovered” long before much of the rest of the mass media, and Thomas Lennon.
