See the host who’s shaking up late-night TV without staying up past your bedtime

TV’s most popular horror series does the time warp to the 1980s, NBC decides once and for all (until next year) who is the most talented, and Jimmy Kimmel will have his hands full with one of pop culture’s craziest interviews. Hello! With the streaming wars underway, the casualties are mounting. It could be the death of your favorite show as Netflix realizes maintaining its absurd output is unsustainable (The OA, we hardly knew ye), or it could be the beatdown your wallet is taking as the number of streaming services that you have to have keeps growing. But for me, the biggest casualty of the streaming wars is nomenclature. Following a period of internet-y jingle-friendly names like Netflix and Hulu, the next wave launching in November is decidedly less creative: Disney+ and Apple TV+ sound like someone gave up mid-thought. But you’ll wish NBCUniversal had named its upcoming streaming service NBCUniversal+ when you hear with it actually decided on. The service, which is scheduled to launch in April 2020 and house The Office, Parks and Recreation, and reboots of Punky Brewster and Saved by the Bell (oof), will be named… [Peacock](. It’s a nod to the NBC logo, which was last relevant sometime in the 1990s, and it’s the kind of name a bunch of executives choose because they can’t think of anything better. But like all things, we’ll get used to it, pay money for it, and in a few years, won’t think twice about saying things like, “I’m going to fire up Peacock and watch some Punky.” Here are tonight’s TV picks. –Tim [Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide!]( WATCH THIS NOW! [American Horror Story: 1984]( [American Horror Story is back, for better or worse]( Season 9 premieres Wednesday at 10/9c on FX Ryan Murphy’s oeuvre features award-winning shows like American Crime Story and Pose. It also features duds like Scream Queens and The New Normal. Somewhere in the middle of all that is his most popular show, the horror anthology American Horror Story, which is keeping FX afloat as the network’s highest-rated program by light years. This season, the show honors the slasher movies of the 1980s by flashing back to a summer camp in 1984. At least that’s what we’re guessing; American Horror Story tends to go in unexpected places, and FX didn’t let anyone watch the series early. It’s worth watching tonight because, in my opinion, the early episodes of each season are the strongest as later episodes devolve into the ramblings of a messy fever dream. But hey, [there could be aliens this season](. Also, I promise never to use the word “oeuvre” again. OODLES OF TALENT [America's Got Talent]( [America’s Got Talent declares one act more talented than the others]( Season 14 finale Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC NNBC’s competition show featuring people doin’ stuff will crown a new winner, finally answering the question of who is the most talented. However, the whole title can’t be trusted as some of these acts aren’t from America, so what gives, NBC? There’s an acrobatic dance troupe from India, a choir from South Africa, and a light-up dance group from Ukraine. Maybe it should be renamed These People Who Are Currently in America Got Talent. I’ll be rooting for the 10-year-old opera singer from Florida, so I can tell my 5-year-old daughter that winning a million bucks in an international competition before fifth grade is a perfectly reasonable expectation. [Who do you think will win]( YOU DON’T HAVE TO STAY UP LATE FOR THIS [A Little Late with Lilly Singh]( [A Little Late with Lilly Singh comes on a little early]( Special primetime episode at 10/9c on NBC If you’ve happened to stay up late enough the last two nights, you might have seen something that made you question your sanity: a late-night talk show that isn’t hosted by a white dude! NBC handed the spot vacated by Carson Daly to Lilly Singh, a Canadian comedian (fine, YouTuber) of Indian descent. She’s checking all the boxes for a disruptor of the late-night scene: She’s a woman, she’s a person of color, and she’s bisexual. Because her show comes on at the god-awful time of 1:35am on a typical night, NBC is showing her off tonight with a special primetime episode that starts at 10. Tune in to check out not just the future of late night, but the future of EVERYTHING. R.I.P. Matthew McConaughey [Zach Galifianakis]( [Zach Galifianakis has the ferns turned on him]( Wednesday at 11:35/10:35c on ABC Forget Rambo: Last Blood, the must-see item of the weekend is Netflix’s Between Two Ferns: The Movie. The movie’s star, Zach Galifianakis, sits down with Jimmy Kimmel to let everyone know it’s coming out, maybe yell a bit, and generally make everyone in the audience uncomfortable. Galifianakis has gone a little mainstream [since his piano-playing days]( but he’s still a nutjob who brings the unexpected wherever he goes. Kimmel is always game to let his guests do their thing, so this is a potent mix for a legendary late-night moment. The whole lineup is solid tonight: Lake Bell and Fitz and the Tantrums are also on the bill. [Unsubscribe]( | [View online]( ©2019 CBS Interactive | All Rights Reserved.
