A private view

Rosie O'Donnell's latest departure from "The View" doesn't mean she's completely disappearing. "Rosie O'Donnell: A Heartfelt Stand Up," brings her back to what she does best: making people laugh on her own terms, not by committee. The special features jokes as well as important information about cardiac health. 9 p.m. Saturday, HBO

A fish called Wanda

Another funny woman reminds us of her talent in "Wanda Sykes Presents Herlarious," a club special that features a peculiar guest list including Kristin Chenoweth, Jeff Probst and Camryn Manheim. Let's hope that trio is only there to generously tip the staff. 9 p.m. Saturday, OWN

Something wild

Now is the perfect time of year to explore "Wild Australia," a two-night, four-hour journey with captivating footage of wombats, red kangaroos, koalas — but not that hard-to-find beast, Men at Work. The documentary concludes Monday. 8 p.m. Sunday, National Geographic Wild
