MONDAY, APRIL 26, 2021 THE DAILY ITEM B5 WHAT TO WATCH CELEBRITY INTERVIEWS

8 p.m. ABC Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days This new two-hour documentary celebrates the first half-century anniversary, as well as the legacy and cross-cultural impact, of the groundbreaking TV show for children, and how “Sesame Street” has used universal tools such as music, empathy and celebrity to address such complicated issues as homelessness, diversity and addiction. The special also chronicles the creation of a Black family of Muppets as part of the show’s new racial justice initiative. Guests include John Legend, Whoopi Goldberg, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gloria Estefan, Lucy Liu, Chrissy Teigen, Usher and Olivia Munn.

9 p.m. PBS Frontline The two-part, three-hour documentary “The Virus That Shook the World” which concludes Tuesday, traces the impact of COVID-19 across the globe, from the earliest days of the lockdowns in Wuhan, China, the horror show of massively overrun hospitals in Italy to the virus’s impact in other parts of the world. As casualties continued to mount, mass funerals were held for the dead, as the living reacted in some places with sharply polarized political protests. The program also examines how the pandemic exacerbated existing inequities between the haves and the have-nots.

9:01 p.m. FOX 9-1-1: Lone Star Among the calls the 9-1-1 team responds to in the new episode “A Little Help From My Friends” are a bloody disaster scene at an ice cream shop and a little boy who has gone missing from his own birthday party. Elsewhere, the EMTs stage an “intervention” for Owen (Rob Lowe) after he accidentally blurts out his secret to Mateo (Julian Works), his new Justin Theroux takes a spellbinding roommate.
