Tonight's Must-See

• "Gilda Radner: It's Always Something," 8 p.m., ABC. Amid the ragged, raucous humor of the early "Saturday Night Live," there was a sweet figure. In her autobiography, Gilda Radner described being a chubby Detroit kid who turned into a bulimic, boy-crazy young woman. She loved her good-natured dad, then felt guilty about distancing herself after his aneurysm. She made great comedy, married twice and fought cancer. It was always something. That story is told in warm detail, with Jami Gertz excellently playing Radner.

• "Jordan: The Royal Tour," 7 p.m., the Travel Channel. King Abdullah II, Jordan's young ruler, spent five days taking cameras through his country. Educated in the United States and England, molded as a Jordanian Army officer, Abdullah was an adventurer long before he was a king. This tour ranges from stark Bedouin country to Petra, with its awesome structures carved into the mountain.

Of Note

"Blues Clues," 7 p.m., Nickelodeon. This show, hugely popular with the pre-school crowd, gets a new host. Tonight, we see Steve (Steve Burns) leave and his brother Joe (Donovan Patton) take over.
