The Real Mr. T, ‘Snowfall’ Spinoff, ‘Talent’ Quarterfinals, ‘Jeopardy! Masters’ Finals

Not known for false modesty, The A-Team and Rocky III breakout star Mr. T (a.k.a. Laurence Tureaud) declares, “I’m not just some phony fake celebrity or fictitious hero. I’m real life.” Make that larger than life. A 1980s icon celebrated for his look — the chains, the mohawk — and his bravado, Mr. T reflects on his life and colorful career in a revealing Untold documentary profile. Rocky co-star Carl Weathers is among the admirers of the bodyguard-turned-actor and pro wrestler, who emerged from the Chicago projects demanding to be called “Mister” as a sign of respect. His business card once read “Bodyguard Extraordinaire: Next to God, there’s no better protector than I.” Only a fool would doubt him.

The summer variety show takes a step closer to the finale with the last week of quarterfinals, when the remaining acts perform one more time for America’s vote, hoping for either a Golden Buzzer or enough votes to carry them through to next week’s semifinal round. Because of an NFL game on Wednesday, this week’s results will be announced live immediately following the two-hour performance show. Scheduled acts include singers Lara D, Travis Garland, and Jesse Joe, vocal duo Bird & Byron, parkour master Rubén Roldán, robot act Unitree, impressionist Cameron Logsdon, comedian Cesar Dias, magicians Young & Strange, and novelty act Akira.

The crème-de-la-crème tournament could crown its first repeat champion in the Season 4 finale when former Masters winners Victoria Groce and Yogesh Raut battle it out in the two-game finals, joined by Andrew He. They’re competing for a $500,000 grand prize and all-important bragging rights, but no one goes away empty-handed after sticking it out this long in one of TV’s most challenging trivia competitions.

In a sequel to FX’s acclaimed drug-trade drama Snowfall, series-regular characters Wanda Bell (the arresting Gail Bean) and former crack-dealing deputy Leon Simmons (Isaiah John) have cleaned up their act. But in 1990, the streets of L.A. are just as mean, and the business they’re now exploring — West Coast rap — is nearly as cutthroat. The ambitious Wanda is interning for former D-boy Darryl “DG” Grant (Brandon Mychal Smith), who has his own label with Macroscope Records, but she struggles to get his or any record exec’s ear to pay attention to her new discovery, her musically gifted cousin Lamar (Asante Blackk). In the premiere, she and Lamar’s brother James (Peyton Alex Smith) venture into dangerous gang territory to get Lamar’s latest track heard by the controversial rapper Artillery (Simmie “Buddy” Sims III), whose latest anti-cop screed has put a target on his back.

Carole Radziwill rejoins the glamorous tribe of Manhattanites for the 16th season of the reality show, which opens with Jessel Taank‘s Lunar New Year party, because there’s always an occasion for draining drinks and airing dirty laundry. Speaking of which, Sai de Silva provides an unhappy update on her marriage, having learned from the press that her husband is filing for divorce.
