Perhaps TV's most entertaining awards show, the 70th Annual Tony Awards (Sunday, 7 p.m., CBS) — which honor Broadway's best — are hosted this year by "Late Late Show" host James Corde, who is himself a Tony winner (best actor in 2012 for "One Man, Two Guvnors").
What makes this so much fun is the performances by the casts of the various Broadway productions. Including a live performance from "Hamilton," which is expected to win a whole lot of Tonys on Sunday.
If you're obsessed by "Hamilton" — and I know a lot of you are — "60 Minutes" (6 p.m., CBS/Ch. 2) features a a segment on the broadway smash that offers more footage than the first time it aired.
