THE 63RD PRIMETIME EMMY AWARDS (8 p.m., Fox): First-time host Jane Lynch will bring plenty of spark — and snark — to television’s big night, but let’s hope her “Glee” alter-ego, Sue Sylvester, doesn’t show up to sabotage things. Meanwhile, expect HBO to take home lots of hardware. The cable titan leads everyone with 104 nominations (including 21 for the miniseries “Mildred Pierce”). And two HBO series — “Boardwalk Empire” and “Game of Thrones” — figure to provide the stiffest competition for AMC’s “Mad Men,” which aims for its fourth-straight Emmy in the best drama category.
“Planet Rock: THE STORY OF HIP HOP AND THE CRACK GENERATION” (10 P.M., VH1): “Planet Rock: The Story of Hip Hop and the Crack Generation” is a documentary that explores the connection between hip-hop music and the crack-cocaine epidemic. Narrated by Ice-T, the program features interviews with Snoop Dogg, B-Real, Raekwon and others.
