Monty Woolley, the hifalutin actor who was pals with Cole Porter back in Yale, was best known for his role in “The Man Who Came to Dinner” (TCM, 11:45 p.m.) — on Broadway and then on film.
A star at 50, Woolley had such dramatic facial hair that he left his beard print in cement at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Largely forgotten today, he’s featured all day on Turner Classic Movies with “Live, Love and Learn” (6 a.m.), “Everybody Sing” (7:30 a.m.), “Thee Comrades” (9:15 a.m.), “Lord Jeff” (11 a.m.), “Young Dr. Kildare” (12:30 p.m.), “Dancing Co-Ed” (2 p.m.), “Night and Day” (3:30 p.m.), “Kismet” (6 p.m.), “Holy Matrimony” (8 p.m.), “Molly and Me” (9:45 p.m.), “The Bishop’s Wife” (1:45 a.m.) and “The Girl of the Golden West” (3:45 a.m.).
The episode that was going to skewer “Vice” was going to be the one on “Documentary Now!” (IFC, 10 p.m.) tonight, but at the last minute they changed it to one where they parody the 1922 “Nanook of the North.” John Slattery guest stars as the director of “Kunuk the Hunter” and Bill Hader is hidden under a lot of prosthetic makeup as the narrator. I’m wondering if they pulled the “Vice” spoof because of its violence — its hipster reporters go to dangerous places and are killed. It comes after “Mr. Robot” bumped its season finale for a week last night, following the live shooting of TV reporters in Roanoke.
Steve and Johnny Mac are up for eviction on “Big Brother” (CBS, 9 p.m.) and the members of jury compete to see which one will get to go back into the house.
Three competing electric companies in the Arctic are followed in the latest Alaskan-based reality show, “Power & Ice” (History, 10 p.m.).

Kiernan Shipka — the former Sally Draper to you — returns to TV as a guest judge on “Project Runway” (Lifetime, 9 p.m.), where the assignment is a classic design for the modern day.
Mary Poppins emerges as a villain on a new “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll” (FX, 10 p.m.).
Ever wonder how sitars are made? Me neither. But it’s on “How Do They Do It” (Science, 10 p.m.).
Things for consideration on “Review” (Comedy Central, 10 p.m.) are a haunted house and fishing.
Randall Park of “Fresh Off the Boat” is guest on a new “Comedy Bang! Bang!” (IFC, 10:30 p.m.), which should not be confused with another sound effects title, “Boom!” (Fox, 8 p.m.), a game show in which they throw guacamole.
A Virginia dad faces celebrity chef Aaron McCargo Jr. on a new “Food Fighters” (NBC, 8 p.m.). Similarly, a 7-year-old competes against Keith Breedlove on “Man vs. Child: Chef Showdown” (FYI, 9 p.m.).
Andy considers going out of own on an undercover gig on “Rookie Blue” (ABC, 10 p.m.).
Toni wants to record a Christmas album on “Braxton Family Values” (WE, 9 p.m.). It couldn’t be worse than starring in a reality show.
Exceedingly normal things continue to happen on “Gainesville” (CMT, 10 p.m.). This is Florida, people.
What’s the idea behind those torpedo-shaped bras? “Style Unzipped” (FYI, 10 p.m.) investigates.
Baseball includes Toronto at Texas (MLB, 2:05 p.m.) and Mets at Philadelphia (MLB, 7:05 p.m.).
In folf, there’s first round action in The Barclays (Golf, 2 p.m.).
In the Little League World Series it’s Mexico vs. Latin America (ESPN, 4 p.m.) in an international semifinal.
In Canadian Football, it’s Montreal at Hamilton (ESPN2, 7:30 p.m.).
