A 'Key' loss

A lot of performers talk about going out on top, but "Key & Peele" are actually doing it. Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are retiring their influential sketch comedy show after just five short seasons, a serious loss at a time when the country desperately needs cutting, thought-provoking comedy about race relations. My hope is that the pair will still be around long after this final hour. 9 p.m. Comedy Central

Special delivery

For the third time, "Food Paradise" chows down on pizza with a look at pies with unique toppings, including chipotle chicken and chorizo. I'm still waiting for the show to shine the spotlight on my special creation: deep-dish strawberry jelly and pig's feet 'za. 8 p.m. Travel Channel

League of their own

Fantasy football may not be a joke among die-hard sports fans, but it's been the perfect vehicle for social disgraces in "The League," which kicks off its final season with the gang wreaking havoc on Draft Day in Chicago. Leslie Bibb's guest appearance has me wondering why she doesn't have her own show. 9 p.m. FXX
