Welcome to the NBC Primetime Preview.
With your hosts, Ken Marino and Casey Wilson.
- And right there. And drop it! Great. - Perfect.
- Oh, hello everyone. - Hi.
- I didn't know you were coming. - Really?
Then why did you spend 2 and 1/2 hours in hair and makeup?
I was in what I was in. Hello, everyone.
I'm Hollywood adjacent's Ken Marino.
And I'm America's sweetheart, Casey Wilson.
You probably don't know us from the hit show, Marry Me,
'cause it hasn't premiered yet.
You're about to see quite a lot of us every Tuesday night
- at 9:00... - 8:00 central.
After The Voice starting October 14th.
- Why are we here? - Oh!
Well, we're here currently...
- ...on the set of our new show. - Ooh.
And we'd like to spend just a few minutes introducing to you
- ...NBC's exciting fall lineup. - Ooh.
Right? Why not?
That's exactly what we want to do.
And not at all what we were contractually forced to do
- ...under threat of termination. - I'm not going anywhere.
Now let's kick this thing off with a show
everybody's talking about, The Voice!
- Yes. - Oh, my God!
- The Voice. - The Voice!
I love The Voice. ♪ The Voice ♪
♪ Voi-Voi-Voice ♪ ♪ I love-- ♪
- Have not seen it. - I have not heard of it at all.
I mean, I'll do you one better.
Is it a show? That's an honest question.
It sounds made-up to me.

An artist is an artist.
That's what I love about The Voice.
It's allowed all of us to express ourselves.
I'm looking next to me and I see Pharrell here,
Adam here, and I had this kind of realization of like,
"I love this show."
Yes!
You came out like a trumpet.
Do you like fashion? I have four clothing lines.
I don't have four clothing lines,
but I do have two trophies from winning The Voice.
I have three trophies from The Voice and a credit card.
We'll go buy you some damn clothes
if that's important to you.
♪ That's how strong my love is ♪
♪ Oh, yeah ♪
Gwen brings this very honest,
very humble power to the table.
It's crazy because you're looking
at her and you're going,
"Oh, my God, that's Gwen Stefani."
- Don't look into her eyes. - The experience I have.
It's kind of cool,
'cause it makes me really reflect on what
I've done and be so grateful.
I think I might have the longest career.
- Oh, wow. - When I was your age
is when I started listening to her records.
- I'm starting to like you. - I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.
Pharrell brings this huge heart.
At first I thought, "Is he really this nice?"
They're going to fight each other
- with rainbows and happiness. - Ladies first.
See? The first handful
of cotton candy has been thrown.
My expectation is that it would be work
that I would enjoy, but I was wrong.
I know what to do with that voice.
I know what to do with that soulful voice of yours.
I know what to do with that voice.
It's not been any work at all. It's just been fun.
All I'm saying is...
He knows what to do with that voice.
♪ Oh, won't you ♪
♪ stay with me, yeah ♪
The Voice is 'The' show. It blows my mind.
I don't think I knew what I was signing up for.
This show became an institution.
Make him... ♪ happy ♪
Nice.
♪ One, two, three, turn around ♪
You blew us all away.
We won! We did it!
As she's turning around, I got so Gwen.
You're just like.
It's always about building their dreams.
This is their lives, this is their chance.
You're 16 years old, which is crazy.
You're already so much better at singing than Blake is.
My mama must be crying right now.
♪ One, two, three, turn around ♪
It's going to be one of those times in my life
i know that I'm going to look back and go,
"that was incredible."
I love you so much. I love you too, boo.
I think I'm going to throw up.
- Wow. - Wow.
- Wow! - Wow!
- The Voice! - The Voice!
- I love The Voice. - I get it.
- It's about singing. - Hey, NBC, two words.
God bless. Yeah, keep 'em coming.
I mean, that thing's got legs. Which in Hollywood means,
"it's got really sexy legs."
And I'm looking at you, Blake Shelton.
AfterThe Voice, you've gotThe Blacklist.
I mean, whoo! Yeah, this one's
a juggernaut, an absolute beast.
Oh, yeah. There is not one person
on the planet who has not seen this show.
- Except for me. - And me.
I have not seen a frame. Not a frame.
No.
Last season, the world's most wanted criminal surrendered
and America got to meet Red.
It's called The Blacklist. That sounds exciting.
I'm talking about the criminals who matter.
The ones you don't even know exist.
Reddington, I hate working with the man.
He's dangerous, amoral.
I can strip and reassemble this weapon in two minutes.
- Please... - Once I have it reassembled,
I'm going to empty that mag into your head.
That's really messed up.
Everything we've done, none of this would
have been possible if it weren't for him.
Good evening, ambassador.
- If you hurt him... - Oh, my goodness.
You really think I'd harm a dog?
You, on the other hand.
What do they do for lunch? Do they order in?
She's breathtakingly unattractive.
Last night, I just stood here.
All I could hear was the hideous music she must be playing.
- Why did you buy it? - She's worth over $40 million.
Would you like rice or noodles?
What have you done?
- Please, stop with the yelling. - No!
- I want a name. - Newton Phillips.
Janice? I'll take a rain check
on the stroganoff. It smells delicious.
I love hats.
The Sheraton's not my scene.

Whoo!
Blacklist, Blacklist, Blacklist,
I'm gonna put you on my must-list.
Ha! I'll have a burrito, Samson.
Just kidding. I'm an actress, I never eat.
All they do is drink water and eat saltines.
My name's Jeremy, and I just watched you kobayashi
four hot dogs in your trailer. Okay.
That's hilarious stuff, Samson. Why don't you take a break, pal?
- Hit the breaks - Speaking of breaks,
The Blacklist takes a break starting on November 17th.
To make room for the new drama, State of Affairs.
A break? Jeez, The Blacklist.
Don't work too hard, buddy. You need a break so bad,
don't bother coming back, 'cause we never liked you anyway.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Casey, take a chill pill.
It's coming back, it's coming back.
Thank God. Okay, thank God.
Because I love that show. I love that show.
It's a great show. But as I was saying,
starting on November 17th at 10:00 P.M.,
we have the premiere of State of Affairs.
My son, Aaron, his tireless efforts
fulfilled, and ultimately...
Down!
Claimed his life.
The CIA's top ten list of the most critical threats
facing our country. Which you then deliver
- to P.O.T.U.S. - What have you got for me?
How confident are you that you will kill him today?
70%.
Call me when it creeps over 99.
No one wants this guy dead. You don't make policy.
The president does.
An American doctor abducted.
He has less than eight hours to live.
Let's bring him home.
Three, two, one.
Total slob in my personal life,
total sniper in my professional one.
- Are we going to get them? - I am going to end
every single one of their lives.
That's my girl.
Whoo! Welcome back, Ms. Katie Heigl.
- We missed you, K-Heigs. - Get it, girl.
Next up is the moment you've all been waiting for.
We're going to show you a clip from our new show, Marry Me,
right after we take a break for some commercials.
Please enjoy these very, very important messages.
Your life may depend on them. What?
No, I can't... oh, don't... Just enjoy the...
Watch some commercials.
Your espresso, Mr. Marino.
Oh, please...
- Call me Ken. - Okay, Ken.
None for you.
I will bury this in your skull.
Hey, America. I didn't see you there.
- Ha. - But we're glad you're here.
Because this next show is actually one we've seen.
- 'Cause it's our show. -Full disclosure-
I actually haven't seen the whole thing.
- Wow. - I never read the full script
because, to be honest, i don't know how to read.
Well, Ken, look, i don't want to over-hype it,
but Marry Me is probably the best show.
That has ever been made.
- Where can I find it? - That's a good question, you.
Tuesdays at 9:00... 8:00 central.
This fall afterThe Voice.
- Did you say Tuesdays at 9:00? - 8:00 central.
AfterThe Voice?
Hey, little known fact... Our show, Marry Me,
is loosely based on The Blacklist.
Starring James Spader as The Voice.
Good to know.
- Wow, what a great trip. - Totally.
So fun.
Ugh. That was a perfect anniversary.
Thank you.
Hey, I am pooped, so I'm going to go hit the sack.
Wait! Before the trip is officially over,
are you sure there isn't anything else?
I'll pop some champagne or we could sit
- or you could kneel. - Ugh.
No, I'm exhausted. But you have at that champagne.
I can't believe you didn't propose on this trip, Jake!
Do you not love me?
Then please free me while i still have an egg.
It's your mom, isn't it?
- Annie, turn around. - Guess what, don't like her!
- She's been through a lot. - Of friends.
She's been through a lot of friends.
- Would you just turn around? - What?
Okay, everyone.
From the creator of Happy Endings...
Too soon to call you "mom"?
Marry Me, Tuesdays this fall on NBC.
Well, that was...
- Not as good as The Blacklist. - Or was it?
- Not even close. - Well, to make sure,
we might as well all just watch it live every week
- Tuesdays at 9:00... - 8:00 central.
AfterThe Voice, followed by About a Boy,
which I believe is about a boy.
And then Chicago fire, which is basically.
What I watch in my head when I try
to make love to my husband.
Really? Ow.
Well, I wonder what he has in his head?
Debra messing, Katie Heigl, Blake Shelton.
Probably just a rubbish fire, but let's keep it in check.
You heard him, let's move.
- Severide, rescue squad. - Can't hear you out here.
Mayday! Emergency! Mayday! Emergency!
Everyone from house 51, report!
Report!
Next up... Ugh, okay, I'm sorry.
Aren't we done? Dear God, there's more?
Good.
I was asking because I was hoping there was more to do.
- Yes! - Up next, Wednesday,
which is what I call "Hump Day" because I like to party.
The Mysteries of Laura. Need I say more?
Okay, I'm being told I do need.
To say more.
Laura. Where is she?
What does she want? And is her name really Laura?
Let's find out.
Being a working single mother is stressful.
I'm afraid your boys are no longer welcome.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no, no.
I don't need them to be welcome.
I just need to drop them off at 8:00
- and pick them up at 5:00. - They are expelled.
- Yay! - It's not funny.
- It is funny. - What do you do for work?
Kills people with guns.
Hardly ever.
Sometimes, you need to go to work just to unwind.
NYPD. I'm gonna count to three.
Don't be stupid, lady.
Three.
They never believe me.
Aah!
When it comes to solving mysteries,
She's the baddest mother on the force.
Emmy Award-Winner Debra Messing
in The Mysteries of Laura, Wednesdays this fall on NBC.
Ooh, Guest list only.
You're definitely not on the list.
Am I on the list now, Gaga?
- Hit it, poker face. - Touche.
Pass.
Season pass for The Blacklist and Mysteries of Laura.
Which is followed bySVU andChicago P.D.
I deal with things in the moment.
Chicago P.D! No one move!
Sometimes I'm right.
Sometimes I'm wrong.
I accept that, knowing I did the best I can
to protect this city.
- I will get him back. - Do whatever it takes
to bring our son home.
I will help you to the other side.
That is a promise.
We're going to ask for forgiveness...
- Drop it! - Instead of permission.
- You all right? - Solid.
In hindsight, we should have put some letters in our title,
ASAP.
Marry Me.
Marry Me AVE...Avenue.
Well, anyway, you live and learn.
Let's take another break. When we come back...
More stuff.
Hold on, I'm hearing "a lot more stuff."
- A lot more stuff. - Yes.
Whoo! Welcome back, friends.
Fun fact about that last commercial break...
- Sue you. - Me and Ken made a run for it...
Only to be physically restrained by NBC security.
Call me, Chad.
Which brings us to our next contractual obligation,
Thursday. Thursday.
And I don't know how else you guys feel about this,
but I think Thursdays are as sweet as sugar pies.
Oh, yeah, they're real sweet.
I mean, you've got the farewell season of Parenthood,
- so shut your mouth. - Yeah, shut up.
I'll tell you, I've watched the entire season
and it is spectacular.
The entire braverman family
floats off into space Gravity style.
Never to be seen from again, after which, we learn
that the series was actually a prequel to Party of Five.
I haven't seen it yet, so thank you for spoiling that
- ...for me. - No prob.
- But I miss those crazy kids. - Me too.
Remember the moment you fell in love with this family.
You are an extraordinary young man.
- We shared in their joy... - Will you marry me?
- Cried through their fears... - There's something
I need to tell you.
And celebrated life's most precious moments.
For anyone who has ever watched Parenthood,
- it's time to come home. - I'm in.
- Really? - Because they've saved
the very best for last.
The Farewell Season Thursday, 10/9c Starting Sep 25.
Also on Thursday you've got The Biggest Losers in the world.
Whoa, that's no way to talk about our fellow NBC programs.
No, you beautiful moron. I was talking about
the Emmy-nominated weight loss program
where it's actually a compliment to be called The Biggest Loser.
Shh, I just need a second for myself.
- Mmhmm. - Biggest loser.
I played quarterback in the NFL for 12 years.
These are my Olympic gold medals.
I was ranked number four in the world.
Now I'm 260 pounds.
♪ Can you hear the call ♪
- Underneath all this weight... - And this is the opportunity
to make my dream come true.
Is still the heart of a champion.
I'm here to change, and I'm going to.
I know that you think your glory days are behind you.
But I promise you they're about to begin.
Glory Days...
Thursdays at 8/7c starting Sep 11.
Ooh, inspiring, inspiring stuff.
- Amazing. - I really don't have a joke here.
That show is just really touching.
- I have a joke. - What's up?
Wait.
Think about it.
- Hey, Case? - Yeah, Kenjamin?
What if lady justice was a real biyatch?
- What if that? - Bad Judge is what if that is.
She bad, she judge. She Bad Judge.
Ah, not your best material.
- Good morning. - What happened?
Tequila happened.
Please be seated.
Do it quietly. I've got a headache.
Can somebody get me some Gatorade?
For the charges of bigamy,
I sentence you to take a course in feminism
while wearing this T-shirt everyday.
How am I going to pick up girls?
Lincoln Elementary School was on line one
about Robby Shoemaker.
- You robby? - You gave me your card
after you put my parents in jail?
I drew a picture of my teacher with boobies.
Robby is having a tough time. He's a victim of bullying.
When this kid comes at you,
you hold up your hands like you look ready to fight,
and then boom! That's the best advice
a grown-up's given me in a long time.
Ms. Wright is a mentor and a very important judge.
I'm so sorry.
I had wine and cake for breakfast.
And following that is A to Z,
a romantic comedy about a young couple navigating
the ins and outs of romance in the big city.
Oh, wait a second. You know, that show sounds
a lot like The Blacklist.
Roll the clip.
Have we met before?
- The Avalon 2012? - Yeah.
I remember looking at this girl thinking,
"I wish I was here with her."
You're the girl.
And this is crazy. This is meant to be.
No, it's not.
It was her in the silver dress, I'm sure of it.
Did you dig around the Internet for pictures of me?
Yes.
Maybe I could use a little "meant to be" in my life.
It was you.
If you believe in the one, the negative one also exists.
Everything they do starts to drive you nuts.
Like how they write on windows after they saw
The Social Network.
- They're doing them. - They're doing themselves.
- This is them. - That's their relationship.
I mean, come on, what does NBC stand for?
Nine Blacklist comedies?
- She's back. Home run city. - Ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho. Speaking of back,
when we come back, we'll mercifully let
this Titanic-like experiment
sink blissfully to the bottom of the Icy Atlantic.
Oh.
- And we're back. - Whoo!
- And tired. - Wow.
So let's finish this thing off with Friday!
Great stuff happening on NBC on Friday, guys.
I mean, you've got your Datelines,
you've got your Grimms.
Yeah, both terrific and terrifying in their own right.
You've also got a new little show calledConstantine.
That I'd love to tell you about.
Unfortunately, I don't know a thing about it.
Yeah, I'm not sure either.
But if I had to guess, I'd say it's probably based on
the wildly popular DC comic series, Hellblazer,
where the seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult,
John Constantine, specializes in giving hell... hell.
Swing and a miss, my Ken friend.
Nice try, but that does not sound right.
- Aw, it was a shot in the dark. - You're so stupid.
Constantine.
Before you checked yourself in here, you were working
as an exorcist and master of the dark arts?
Well, I should really change that to petty dabbler.
I hate to put on airs.
Miss? This is not my problem.
Ah, bollocks.
I'm addressing the entity inside.
Hear my words.
- Well, hello. - Stay back.
You're pointing that the wrong way.
I knew your father. Promised him I'd look after you.
If you don't listen to me, you'll be dead by morning.
You shouldn't be down here.
I could say the same about you.
You damned a girl to hell...
Along with her, your soul.
Lot of panic down here.
People can sense what's on the way.
- What's on the way? - We should go.
What's on the way?
Demons are crawling out of the shadows on a scale
we've never seen before.
Look around, you're seeing the world for what it really is.
Release me, and her soul is free.
Be gone!
So I owe you an apology.
- You pretty much nailed it. - Oh, please.
- Apology not accepted. - Aw.
All right, Ken, let's recap this thing
so we can finally go back to our respective families,
whom we hate. Oh, well, actually,
I'm pretty happy with the people I chose in my life.
I can't stand mine.
Ken, do you remember any of what was just said?
'Cause again, i was not paying attention.
Hmm, not really.
Uh, but let me take a stab at it.
Mondays, two hours of The Voice followed by The Blacklist,
and then in November, State of Affairs.
Tuesday, more Voice, followed by my favorite paycheck, Marry Me.
- Holla. - And then About a Boy,
and Chicago Fire.
Wednesdays, it's Mysteries of Laura.
SVU and Chicago P.D.
Thursdays, Biggest loser followed by two new comedies,
Bad Judge and A to Z, and of course,
the final season of Parenthood!
Fridays, Dateline, Grimm, and Constantine.
- Whoo! - And Sunday is
Sunday Night Football!
Get into it, guys. Come on.
Whoo!
♪ Oh, waiting all day for Sunday Night ♪
It's great to be a part of it, It really is.
My family and my children,
we all sit and watch it every week.
I been waiting nine years to do this, nine years.
They've got me stage-diving and crowd-surfing.
I don't want to mess up my makeup.
They might want me to replace Carrie Underwood.
I don't sing.
- Sunday Night. - Sunday Night.
Is football night.

Well, I hope that was helpful. I think we learned a lot today.
Mostly about The Blacklist.
Hey, is there any other kind of list?
No, he didn't.
"Is there any other kind of list?" He says.
- That's what I said to you. - I can't with this guy.
I really can't, you guys. No, that's the thing.
But there are actually other kinds of lists.
- Are we done? - Grocery lists, Christmas list.
- Laundry list. - Yeah.
- Seriously, are we done? - Yeah.
