NBC’s slate of upcoming television shows includes “Young Rock,” a comedy about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s childhood, and a Jimmy Fallon-led musical variety series titled “That’s My Jam.”
NBC Entertainment Chairman Paul Telegdy discussed a variety of the network’s new and returning series during the network’s executive session at the Television Critics Association’s 2020 Winter Press Tour in Pasadena Saturday morning. Chief among those announcements were “Young Rock,” which will be executive produced by Nahnatchka Khan, Johnson, Jeff Chiang, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, Brian Gewirtz and Jennifer Carreras. Though the single-cam series will focus on Johnson’s younger years, the actor will appear in each episode. The show will be produced by Universal Television, Seven Bucks Productions and Fierce Baby Productions.

Wednesday proved quite a busy night in primetime, with a pair of huge finales, a nostalgic special, and by the way, the House of Representatives voting to impeach Donald Trump.
As for entertainment programming, Fox’s The Masked Singer unmasked the winner of its Season 2 run, with the singing competition topping the night with a 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 8.33 million viewers for its 9 Pm airing. The finale was up 16% in the demo and 20% in total viewers from last week and dominated the night; compared with Season 1’s finale, however, last night was down 1.4 ratings points. Still, it should be kept in mind that news coverage of the impeachment vote across the broadcast networks may affect finals numbers.
CBS aired the season finale of Survivor: Island of the Idols as well as its post-finale reunion, on which a contestant confronted Jeff Probst over misconduct claims the reality staple faced this year.

Well, they don’t call it live TV for nothing.
During ABC’s “Live In Front of a Studio Audience” Wednesday night, the network had to cut away multiple times from the live broadcast to cover the impeachment of President Donald Trump that was in progress on Capitol Hill. The House of Representatives voted to impeach the president on two articles, one for abuse of power and one for obstruction of Congress. Trump became only the third U.S. president to be impeached.
ABC cut away for a few minutes two times during the broadcast, each time the articles were voted on. Both times, the broadcast picked up right where it left off. CBS, which was airing the Season 39 finale of “Survivor,” did not cut away until the House voted on the second article of impeachment.

Donald Trump called today’s impeding impeachment vote an “assault on America,” but for the Big 4 networks the expected move by the Democratic dominated House of Representatives will likely besiege primetime programming.
As members of Congress continue to put their clearly partisan Pov on the record and cable newsers in the vaulted chamber over the two articles of impeachment right now, the actual vote to indict the former Celebrity Apprentice host looks set to start within the hour. In what is only the third time a President has been impeached in American history, that process will crash right up against ABC’s Live in Front of a Studio Audience: All in The Family & Good Times, the season finales of CBS’ Survivor and Fox’s The Masked Singer, and NBC’s Ellen’s Greatest Night of Giveaways encores.
Right now, after all the nets covering the speeches in Congress throughout the day,...
