Weapon of mass destruction

The upcoming 70th anniversary of the detonation of the atomic bomb dovetails with the premiere of "The Bomb," a documentary that includes rare footage of early experiments and insight from former Cabinet members George Shultz and William Perry. As of press time, Dr. Strangelove had no comment. The two-hour film is followed by "Uranium: Twisting the Dragon's Tail." 7 p.m. TPT

He's game

Former Minnesotan Nate Berkus steps away from interior designing duties to return to "Hollywood Game Night," in which he'll square off against such competitors as "Weird Al" Yankovic, Rocco DiSpirito and Rosie O'Donnell, who attempts to stay the entire hour without quitting. 9:01 p.m. KARE, Ch. 11

No hard feelings

Gee, the current late-night hosts are an accommodating group of fellows. "The Late, Late Show With James Corden" welcomes Trevor Noah, despite the fact that he'll soon be the primary face of late night TV on Comedy Central when he takes over from Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show." 11:35 p.m. WCCO, Ch. 4
