Hart court

Let's see if Kevin Hart's red-hot movie career has affected his jump shot. The three-time MVP for the "NBA All-Star Celebrity Game" returns to the court along with Anthony Anderson, Michael Rapaport, Common and Little League sensation Mo'Ne Davis, who should have a deal with Nike by halftime. 6 p.m. Friday, ESPN

Dance again

She may still be Jenny from the block, but she's actually never played a proper concert in her hometown. That all changes with "Neighborhood Sessions With Jennifer Lopez," a musical special taped at Orchard Beach in the Bronx. Bling optional. 10 p.m. Saturday, TNT

Buckwheat lives!

The guest list for "Saturday Night Live's 40th Anniversary" includes Justin Timberlake, Derek Jeter, Taylor Swift, Jack Nicholson and at least 45 more luminaries. Staggering, but not quite as much as the news that Eddie Murphy will return to the studio for the first time in more than 30 years. Unfortunately, Joe Piscopo's invite may have gotten lost in the mail. 7 p.m. Sunday, KARE, Ch. 11

Strike a pose

Pity the poor bikini models. In "SI: The Making of Swimsuit 2015," cameras capture how the women battled wind and rain to pose on the beaches of frigid Hawaii. Somebody get those models some coconut drinks! 8 p.m. Sunday, Travel
