Hi!
Heading home to see the family and I thought if I brought my switch and had two TVS we could play 8 player Mario kart. But, looks like that's not the case. Are there ANY games that will let you do this?
IE.
Two Switches Docked on Two TVS
4 Controllers to each TV
8 Players Total!
@petebbb Sounds like you want to do LAN play. You'll need a LAN adapter and an ethernet cable for each Switch, as well as a router. You will also need multiple copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. FYI, when you're at the main menu, hold down L and R, press the left analog stick, and then Wireless Play will be replaced with LAN Play. Seems like up to two people can play on one TV though.
BTW, not only is MK8D compatible with LAN play, but so is Splatoon 2 and ARMS. In the case of Splatoon 2, it's one of the only options for local multiplayer aside from wireless play (there's no split-screen multiplayer in that game).
There are a few games that allow up to 8 players on 1 console (including Smash Bros, Runbow, and Virtua Racing, just off the top of my head) but I don't think you can simply split it between two Switches/TVs. I don't really know anything about LAN play but that sounds like your best option if you have the right equipment.

Or you can always contact Nintendo support and they can find the answer.
