BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

Various Networks, Check local listings

If you’re watching live, you’ve seen some of the best stuff already today, including Sweden earning its way into the gold-medal final game for men’s hockey. Other live events today include, in men’s hockey, the other semifinal, with the U.S. vs. Canada, televised live beginning at 11:45 a.m. ET on NBCSN, and the gold-medal final in men’s curling, with Great Britain vs. Canada at 5 p.m. ET on CNBC. In prime time, on NBC, the taped packages will focus on skiing and speedskating – but if the U.S. gets into the men’s hockey final, expect that to be played up big time. Do you believe in… promotion? To watch all events live, see NBCOlympics.com.

SHARK TANK

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

On tonight’s new installment, one of the entrepreneurs hoping for investment dollars from the business angels on Shark Tank is a guy from Portland, OR (where else?) who combines a sidewalk smoothie and juice stand with bicycle-powered blenders. This means, of course, that his fledgling business, uniquely, involves both peddling and pedaling.

GREAT PERFORMANCES: "STING: THE LAST SHIP"

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

This performance by Sting, taped at New York’s Public Theater on Oct. 2, was a special event for several different reasons. One, it was one of a string of many benefit concerts staged last fall by Sting for the Public. Two, it was taped on Sting’s birthday. And three, it previewed music from The Last Ship, which is a new musical set to premiere in Chicago this summer before heading to Broadway. Check local listings.

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

There’s a full roster of guests on Maher’s show tonight, but one of them, on this program, has been greeted by the studio audience, on previous appearances, with the sort of fervor usually reserved for a teen idol. Returning for her latest guest shot: Rachel Maddow.

THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON

NBC, 11:30 p.m. ET

Jimmy Fallon has had a strong first week as the new host of The Tonight Show – and it’s likely he’s saved the best for last, as his old cohort in comedy and playful musical pieces and parodies, Justin Timberlake, shows up. As on many of his Saturday Night Live appearances, Timberlake serves here as both headliner and musical guest.
