Show some love

Will the NBA Finals take a different tone when Game 3 brings the action back to Cleveland? Maybe Kevin Love will have a different look on his face. Will the fans show him some Cavalier love? No one will probably notice him during the Warriors-Cavs game except maybe thrilled Timberwolves fans. 8 p.m. KSTP, Channel 5.

School daze

Back in the day, Cameron Crowe went undercover as a high school student for a story for Rolling Stone. He wrote a movie on the subject, too — "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," a terrific and often hilarious coming-of-age film starring a bunch of unknowns including Sean Penn, Forest Whitaker, Eric Stoltz, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Anthony Edwards, Phoebe Cates, Judge Reinhold and Nicolas Coppola (now known as Nicolas Cage). Crowe is now almost famous for writing and directing "Jerry Maguire." 7 p.m. IFC

King for the night

It's time to put Larry King on the other side of the interview. Yes, he's still alive. Maybe he'll let us see his suspenders, too, on "Conan." Other guests are "Veep" actress Anna Chlumsky and rapper Yelawolf. 10 p.m. TBS
