Around the remote: Chuck Barney's TV picks for Nov. 12-18

DON'T MISS: "Night of Too Many Stars: America Unites for Autism Programs" _ Do you miss Jon Stewart? The former "Daily Show" wise guy returns to our television screens to host this annual all-star benefit from The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. The evening will feature stand-up performances, sketches and short films, with appearances by, among others, J.J. Abrams, Louis C.K., Stephen Colbert, Abbi Jacobson, Jordan Klepper, Howie Mandel, Olivia Munn, John Oliver, Chris Rock and Ben Stiller. 8 p.m. Saturday, HBO.
