Ellen Gray's TV picks: Jon Stewart's final moments of Zen, 'Born Again Virgin' and more

Our final moments of Zen?

THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART
11 tonight through Thursday, Comedy Central.

Our final moments of Zen? Sixteen years after he started delivering the fake news, Jon Stewart has just four nights left in the anchor chair. Helping him to exit laughing: comedians Louis C.K., Amy Schumer and Denis Leary. Expect Thursday's finale to run long, and seem all too short.

UNREAL
10 tonight, Lifetime.

Season 1 of my summer crush ends. Will love somehow conquer all for fictional "reality" show "suitor" Adam (Freddie Stroma) and the messed-up producer (Shiri Appleby) he thinks he loves? Not holding my breath.

PLAYING HOUSE
10 p.m. Tuesday, USA.

Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair return for a second season playing BFFs raising a baby in the town in which they grew up.

MR. ROBINSON
9 and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, NBC10.

Craig Robinson ("The Office") gets his own show, playing a musician who takes a job teaching high-school music. Peri Gilpin ("Frasier") plays a stern school principal with an unexpected past. Not nearly as good a show as Robinson deserves, but if you're jonesing for an '80s-style sitcom, it's here.

BORN AGAIN VIRGIN
10 p.m. Wednesday, TV One.

Danielle Nicolet ("The Game") stars as a blogger who reacts to some not-so-romantic mishaps by choosing celibacy - and writing about her decision. Naturally, this happens just as she meets a guy she likes a lot.

PROJECT RUNWAY
8 and 9 p.m., Lifetime.

Tim Gunn introduces the Season 14 contestants in "Road to the Runway," before the cutting and backbiting begin at 9.
