On TV

Chris D’Elia not only elevates any TV sitcom he’s in (I’m lookin’ at you, “Whitney”), he is also a great stand-up comic, as evidenced by his second Netflix comedy special, “Chris D’Elia:

Man on Fire,” available for streaming today. The show was filmed at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, British Columbia.

“America’s Got Talent” continues with the auditions phase of its annual troll for talent at 8 p.m on NBC. I have to say, I miss

Nick Cannon as the show’s host. Tyra Banks is mostly irrelevant on the show. “The Bacheloret­te,” speaking of irrelevant, airs a new episode on ABC at 8 p.m., a special night for the show. Say goodbye to the “Liars” on Freeform with a two-hour series finale of “Pretty Little Liars” starting at 8 p.m., followed by

“A-List Wrap Party” at 10:01 p.m. No lie.

BET launches the scripted series “Tales” at 8 p.m. Created by Irv “Gotti” Lorenzo, the show uses hip-hop song lyrics as fodder for narratives. The premiere episode storifies NWA’s “F— the Police.” Bravo airs a new 75-minute episode of “Below Deck: Mediterran­ean” at 9 p.m.
