At the end of the 18th century, Norfolk Island in the South Pacific was home base to one of the harshest penal colonies in the world. Today, however, it’s a mecca for shark lovers who gather to witness an extraordinary event, as islanders toss full-size animal carcasses into the sea as a treat for some of the largest tiger sharks on Earth. Shark scientist Riley Elliott worries this practice may eventually lead to more shark attacks on humans.
9:30 p.m. on TVL Lights Out With David Spade
The former Just Shoot Me funny guy brings his sardonic style to this new Monday-through-Thursday late-night series, in which Spade, pictured, offers his distinctive take on pop culture news of the day, joined by a rotating panel of Spade’s fellow comics and celebrity friends. The show also incorporates sketch comedy and field segments outside the studio. Spade’s guests for the premiere are Neal Brennan, Erik Griffin and Whitney Cummings. This game show routinely features diverse batches of contestants, but as this latest episode title indicates, the new “Southern Fried Shazam!” players all hail from the American South, as host Jamie Foxx welcomes brothers from Louisiana, cousins from Texas and a band of churchgoers from Virginia. As always, the teams play against each other, and the clock, as they try to identify hit songs from as few notes as possible. Corinne Foxx, Jamie’s daughter, is the disc jockey.
