I won't dance

Barack Obama showed off his dance moves when he appeared as a candidate on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," but I'll bet you a dozen Vermont teddy bears that Ellen won't have the same luck in persuading Bernie Sanders to bust a move when he makes a guest appearance. 4 p.m. WCCO, Ch. 4

Sob story

A tour of "Love Letters" starring Ryan O'Neal and Ali MacGraw isn't scheduled to come to the Twin Cities, so we'll have to settle for re-watching 1970's "Love Story," in which we learn that (A) Love means never having to say you're sorry and (B) You can never buy too many boxes of tissues from Costco. 8:35 p.m. MPlex

Reopened for business

I can't quite figure out when comedian Nathan Fielder is being serious, which is a big reason why I'm still intrigued by "Nathan for You," a series in which our host tries to help small businesses in ways that would make Andy Kaufman a regular customer. 9 p.m. Comedy Central
