BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

So this is Bloody Tuesday for The Voice fans, or at least for its remaining contestants: Half of the Top 8 will be eliminated tonight. My apologies, then, for questioning the term “semifinal” in regards to last night’s show. When you’re cutting down that many entrants at once, you indeed are in semifinal land.

NCIS

CBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: In addition to being the Season 13 finale, tonight’s episode marks the last appearance of Michael Weatherly as Tony DiNozzo. How will he exit? With some drama, some pathos, some comedy – and, I’m certain, a head slap or two.

MEGYN KELLY PRESENTS

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

SPECIAL: On an early presidential debate, moderator Megyn Kelly asks candidate Donald Trump about his misogynist remarks about women. Ratings for the debate are “huuuge,” Trump starts a Twitter war and talk-show attack against Kelly, Trump rises in the polls, Kelly’s profile rises in the media – and now this. It’s a one-hour special presented not on Fox News, but on the big-boy network itself, with Fox salivating about the prospect of a prime-time rematch interview between Kelly and Trump. But it’s on his home turf at Trump Tower, and each, by now, is aware of the other’s relative value.

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

SEASON FINALE: This two-hour season finale concludes the story of The Hive, with a confrontation that is sure to claim lives on both sides of the battleground. Daisy is back as one of the good guys, and Hive, based on last week’s episode, seemed to be down, but maybe not out. You know how pesky these alien parasites can be…

THE NIGHT MANAGER

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Part 5. Talk about being in too deep. Tom Hiddleston’s “hotel manager,” now posing as a mercenary in the inner circle of Hugh Laurie’s international arms smuggler, has been caught in a potential dalliance with the arms dealer’s mistress. The spy’s handlers called him off the mission, but instead, he dove in headfirst, defied orders and accompanied the bad guys on their latest scheme.
