The late-night buzz continues in a rare crossover featuring the host who was temporarily suspended (Jimmy Kimmel) and the host who was canceled (Stephen Colbert), each supporting the other during their ordeals. As a highlight of Kimmel’s week in Brooklyn, “late-night martyr” Colbert appears with Kimmel on a show that also features Kumail Nanjiani and musical guest Renée Rapp. To return the favor, Kimmel appears on Colbert’s midtown Manhattan show, which also features Sam Smith. Have there ever been friendlier rivals?

Premiering September 30th, this original half-hour football comedy on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ stars Glen Powell as a disgraced quarterback chasing redemption. Disguised under a wig, prosthetics, and southern charm, he reinvents himself as walk-on oddball Chad Powers. The series is inspired by Eli Manning’s viral ESPN sketch, where the NFL legend (and series producer) went undercover at Penn State tryouts.

TV doctors have seen just about everything, but even so, amnesiac Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker) is startled by the results of an ultrasound from her pregnant patient, who appears to have escaped from a medicine-averse cult. While Amy continues to pursue avenues to retrieve eight years’ worth of lost memories, more are triggered by the arrival of her mentor and friend, Dr. Joan Ridley (Desperate Housewives‘ Felicity Huffman), a demanding instructor of medicine and surgery who’s being pursued by Westside to stick around as the next chief of internal medicine.

Mother Nature is one scary lady. That has never been more apparent than in this cheeky nature series, narrated by Maya Hawke, that uses horror-movie techniques (sound effects, jump scares, and the like) to present a wildlife story like no other. In the three-part “Cabin in the Woods,” a raccoon, frog, and pregnant mouse experience all the perils nature can throw at them in the North American woods, but things only get worse when they take shelter in an abandoned cabin. A second series, “Lost in the Jungle,” is set in a Central American rainforest and airs closer to Halloween.

It’s like a kinder, gentler Apprentice, though not without its own pressures to succeed. Jimmy Fallon is host, creator, and executive producer of a competition series challenging wannabe marketing mavens to create campaigns for major brands, taking product placement to a new level. Fallon teams with C-suite veteran Bozoma Saint John, who serves as Chief Marketing Officer of the made-for-TV On Brand Agency, to welcome 10 contestants to pitch their hearts out and impress the client-of-the-week. Dunkin’ is first up, seeking a new slogan and campaign for their breakfast meal deal (with merch as a bonus), and whoever wins will see their vision realized in stores across the country. A second episode airs Friday.

Will the “MomTok” veterans of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives have a leg up on the competition on “TikTok Night?” We’ll find out when the 12 remaining couples take the dance floor in Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Jive, Samba, Tango, and Quickstep styles. Season 31 winner and TikTok creator Charli d’Amelio joins the troupe for a number and reunites with her pro partner Mark Ballas for a special dance.
