Alex Borstein Unfiltered, ‘Auto’ Finale, ‘Deadliest Catch,’ Will Trent Goes Undercover

Special

With two Emmys on her shelf as the prolifically profane talent manager Susie on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (now in its final season), Alex Borstein proudly shows off her “moneymaker”—aka “that filthy mouth of yours”—in a raucous stand-up act with musical interludes, performed from the stage of Maisel’s fictional Wolford Theatre burlesque club at Brooklyn’s Steiner Studios. Accompanied by two ultra-hip musicians she met in Barcelona, Borstein gets bawdy quickly as she discusses her divorce after a 20-year relationship, with riffs on dating, celibacy, superheroes, Christmas songs written by Jews—and, always, taking delight in challenging perceptions.

Season Finale

8:30/7:30c

For two seasons, we’ve wondered how CEO Katherine (Ana Gasteyer) and her C-suite of nincompoops at Payne Motors have managed to keep their jobs as they careen from one badly managed crisis to the next. In the workplace satire’s Season 2 finale, they’re more worried than usual, desperate to raise the value of Payne stock as they launch the new Pika model. It doesn’t help that the global economy isn’t in such great shape, either. Fans may also have to sweat it out regarding a Season 3 renewal.
