This week's schedule

Monday features a number of guests across various programs: Cold War Kids on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The 1975 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Black Keys on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Midweek, watch for Kacey Musgraves on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Hozier on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Dolly Parton looks set to appear on Fallon on Wednesday as well, likely as an interview rather than a musical guest.

King Princess is the musical guest on a brand-new Saturday Night Live, right on the heals of the release of the album Cheap Queen. On PBS, Austin City Limits features highlights from the Americana Music Association's 18th annual Honors and Awards program, recorded at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Sept. 11 of this year.

Here's the complete rundown. Check your local listings for broadcast times (schedule subject to change).
