The marrying kind

Tony Goldwyn stars in "Outlaw Prophet: Warren Jeffs," a docudrama about the fundamentalist Mormon leader who spent time on the FBI's most-wanted list for arranging illegal marriages involving underage girls. Martin Landau, Molly Parker and Joey King co-star. 7 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime

Love is in the air

Whitney Cummings, who is partly responsible for "2 Broke Girls" and the terrible misfire called "Whitney," attempts to redeem herself by returning to her roots in "Whitney Cummings: I Love You," a stand-up special, taped in Irvine, Calif. 10 p.m. Saturday, Comedy Central

Slumming it

Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi set aside their Shakespearean portfolios to play a longtime couple who seem to spend every waking moment bickering in "Vicious," a farce that's already a huge hit in England. 9:30 p.m. Sunday, TPT, Ch. 2
