| Gadi Schwartz, host of The Overview (via WordPress) |
[*mind blown*]! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, January 16!
My options are really limited, so Top Pick goes to Peacock's latest news series The Overview, which is hosted by Gadi Schwartz and targets the younger demographic. While Schwartz is known to many of the olds from his reporting that is on MSNBC, he is also popular with the youths. He co-hosts the popular Snapchat news series Stay Tuned. So if you are looking for a break from your Office binge-watching, there's Gadi.
Elsewhere, anime SSSS.Gridman comes to Toonami, Uma wants to kill Bill, E class readies for an assassination, Marcel Marceau fights Nazis, and hippies... in space!
