This week on TV: Polka kings and the return of David Letterman

There's a lot happening this week to kick off the first full week of television programming of the new year. Kicking off first episodes of Saturday Night Live (with host Sam Rockwell) of 2018. But this week also marks the return of Pete Holmes' semi-autobiographical comedy Crashing for a second season. Over on Netlix, there's a lot to be excited by for Jack Black's dark comedy, The Polka King tells the weird tale of a Polka artist running a ponzi scheme. Then, Tom Segura will drop his 3rd Netflix special while perhaps the greatest news of all, Friday marks the return of David Letterman with his new Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with Letterman hosting a new interview show. His first guest? Barack Obama.
