You can call him Al

Al Franken, Minnesota's junior senator, used to mock politicians when he was a comedian. Now he'll have his last encounter with Jon Stewart, the mock newsman, on "The Daily Show." Hopefully, Stewart can get the senator to laugh. 10 p.m. Comedy Central

Jurassic flashback

Are you on a "Jurassic" jag? Then catch the second and third installments in the movie quartet on Syfy. "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" (6 p.m.), the 1997 sequel that Steven Spielberg begged novelist Michael Crichton to write, finds John Hammond discovering a second island where dinosaurs are alive and breeding. In 2001's "Jurassic Park III" (8 p.m.), a couple hire a guide to help them find their lost son on an island, where they are stalked by a superpredator, the Spinosaurus. And now, of course, you know the rest of the story.

Not at my table

On "Bizarre Foods," our guy Andrew Zimmern eats goat intestines in Africa, bull testicles in Europe, pig tails in South America and muskrat in the United States. Hopefully he won't bring any of these, um, delicacies to his booth at Target Field. 8 p.m. Travel
