Sugar and Spicer

Politics usually gets shooed to the wings of "Saturday Night Live" the season after a presidential election, but the Not Ready for Trump Time Players just couldn't help themselves. Melissa McCarthy's Sean Spicer was a big part of the show's relentless lampooning of the new administration, so it makes sense that she'll host the season's penultimate episode.

Last resort

In the new docuseries "Invite Only Cabo," hairstylist Larry Sims brings together an odd assortment of friends for a getaway at a Mexican resort. His "pals" quickly turn the free vacation into an ordeal, each unpacking every bit of emotional baggage you can imagine. With buddies like this, Sims may want to consider getting a dog.

Downtown Abbey

"What Happens at the Abbey," a peek behind the scenes at one of Hollywood's most hedonistic nightclubs, should give you new appreciation for your humble northeast Minneapolis dive bar. Producers quickly try to establish Minnesota-raised server Daniel Eid as someone you'll love to hate. Hollywood can have him.
