The fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars draws to a close tonight with the show's strongest top three ever. Whether it's Jujubee, Miz Cracker or Shea Coulee that snatches the crown, all three have proven themselves to be legends. We can't wait to see how things shake out. Also today: Jim Gaffigan's aborted world tour finds its way to Amazon, Rosamund Pike brings Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie to life in Radioactive, and Mark Duplass is a triple threat in the final season premiere of HBO's Room 104. Here's what's new and noteworthy on TV this Friday:
SEASON FINALE: Iif the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race: All-Stars has taught us anything, it's that the show's old school queens still have game. Jujubee has definitely received a winner's edit this season, but up against Miz Cracker and Shea Coulee, this is still anyone's game. 8:00 PM ET on VH1
STANDUP SPECIAL: As Primetimer's Aaron Barnhart writes today, Jim Gaffigan: The Pale Tourist is the comedy high-wire act that COVID cut short. Gaffigan had originally planned to tour the world, writing and performing site-specific routines for each country he visited. Then came the pandemic. What we get instead today is a two-part comedy special shot in the two countries he was able to visit before the shutdown — Canada and Spain. Watch the trailer. Streaming Prime Video
PREMIERE MOVIE: Originally scheduled to premiere in theaters this Spring, Amazon has instead diverted its Marie Curie biopic Radioactive to Prime Video. Rosamund Pike stars as the legendary physicist who won the Nobel Prize for her discovery of radium and polonium, elements that changed the course of modern medicine. Watch the trailer. Streaming on Prime Video
