This Is Us
“New York, New York, New York” – Season 4, Episode 16
Tues Mar 10 – 9PM
On NBC
The Pearsons are headed to New York! While we all love a good road trip—especially when it means we get stories from the Big Three’s teenage years—This Is Us is gearing up to tinge those happy memories with sadness. That emotional mix comes from the future timeline in the form of Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Kevin (Justin Hartley). Rebecca asks to accompany Kevin as his date on the red carpet for the premiere of his upcoming movie. It’s a sweet gesture but behind the flash of New York City lights there’s a struggle happening. A rift is growing between Kevin and Randall (Sterling K. Brown), made wider by their differing opinions on taking care of their mom. It hurts to see it. They both care so deeply about her that their clash won’t ever truly end. With what we now know about Rebecca’s health, this rift is going to hit you even harder.
Catch This Is Us on NBC every Tuesday.
From NBC:
The Pearsons visit New York City.

Marc Maron: End Times Fun
Tues Mar 10
On Netflix
It’s the end of the world as we know it (and we feel fine). That’s because Marc Maron is here to take us through the apocalypse with his signature style of hot takes. From stories about the Avengers becoming a religion to his obsessive need to take vitamins because the internet said so, he takes on pop culture and modern beliefs to make light of what feels like the end of the world with every new headline. It couldn’t be any more of a timely escape—by leaning into the world’s problems Maron makes fun of them so you can laugh for a few minutes and not feel the usual sense of panic.
Marc Maron: End Times Fun debuts on Netflix tomorrow.
From Netflix:
‘The lizard portal is open and day coyotes are among us,’ says comedy legend and hit podcast host Marc Maron. The end is near in Marc Maron’s newest Netflix original stand-up special, End Times Fun. In his signature style of raw, honest and thought-provoking comedy, Marc touches on trying to ‘stay woke,’ the importance of taking Turmeric, life before cell phones, and vaccinating children against measles, mumps and Marvel movie fans.
