Editor’s Note: Debuting today & distinct from TV reviews & breaking news, The Deadline Watchlist is a feature spotlighting small screen specials, events and can’t-miss episodes of ongoing series each week.
1. Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show: Yes, there is a little NFL game on this weekend, but real history will be made in the Pepsi-sponsored Halftime show as hip hop royalty Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and queen Mary J Blige team up to show everyone how it is done.

2. The Book Of Boba Fett Season 1 Finale: It’s all been leading up to this — Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) are gearing up for a gang-war with the spice runners, the Pykes.

It’s all a part of keeping law and order in Mos Espa. The finale dropped on Disney+ this morning, check out our review here. – Anthony D’AlessandroThe full first season of Boba Fett is available now on Disney+
3. Simu Liu Guest Hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show: If you saw the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star hosting SNL last year, you know Simu Liu has front man chops to burn. Ahead of hosting the Junos (Canada’s Grammys, kind of) late this year, Liu today is taking over the Emmy winning daytimer for the chart topper. Making this a Marvel makeover
