NBC Lights Up The Holidays with Christmas in Rockefeller Center

Like most everything this year, tonight's annual Christmas Tree lighting at Rockefeller Center is set to look a bit different — and we're not talking about that scraggly tree. For one thing, the two-hour live telecast will not feature an in-person audience. For another, viewers will be encouraged to donate to Red Nose Day in support of children and families facing hunger and food insecurity this holiday season.

Also tonight: The super six take to The Masked Singer stage for the semi-finals, the Rockettes bring their annual Radio City Christmas Spectacular home, and HBO's Baby God profiles the Las Vegas fertility doctor who impregnated untold numbers of women with his own sperm. Here's what's new and noteworthy on TV this Wednesday:
