This week on TV we get to fight evil, get introduced to a few alien encounters, each some late night snacks, meet Dr. Strange, and take in a new special from one of the greatest Saturday Night Live alumi of all-time. Not bad.
First up on Monday is the new TBS comedy People of Earth. Produced by Conan O’Brien and Greg Daniels (The Office), this new oddball comedy centers on a support group for alien abductees. The Daily Show‘s Wyatt Cenac heads an ensemble that also includes Ana Gasteyer, Oscar Nunez, Luka Jones, Alice Wetterlund, and Brian Huskey.
Then on Wednesday, get ready for Stan Against Evil coming to IFC. Comedian and former Simpsons writer Dana Gould is the creator of this eight-episode horror comedy—sort of a funny take on the X-Files formula—about a former sheriff (John C. McGinley) of a small New England town who teams up with his younger replacement (Janet Varney) to investigate a series of supernatural occurrences—the sort of hauntings that naturally plague any town built on the site of a “massive 17th century witch burning.” Back-to-back new episodes air to kick things off.
On Friday, we get to feast our eyes on the new stand-up special coming to Netflix, Dana Carvey: Straight White Male, 60. Comedy legend Dana Carvey returns to the stage with a host of new impressions and a few familiar voices, covering the joys of aging, pharmaceuticals, millennials, and more.
And closing out the week on Saturday, you’ll be able to witness Dr. Strange himself, Benedict Cumberbatch, as he hosts Saturday Night Live alongside musical guest Solange.
