NBC Pushes Back THE CARMICHAEL SHOW

NBC is pushing back THE CARMICHAEL SHOW.

Less than two weeks before THE CARMICHAEL SHOW was set to debut on August 5th, NBC has opted to push its premiere to August 26th. In its place, MR. ROBINSON (which will bow on August 5th as planned) will air back-to-back episodes for three weeks. THE CARMICHAEL SHOW will have the same sort of run when it bows on August 26th.

Here’s NBC’s take on the news…

“Giving audiences a chance to fully engage with NBC’s new summer comedies, the network has announced “Mr. Robinson” will air back-to-back episodes for three weeks beginning with its premiere, Wednesday, Aug. 5 (9-10 p.m.). “The Carmichael Show” will follow the same strategy and air back-to-back episodes in the timeslot for its Wednesday, Aug. 26 launch.

Beginning Aug. 12, “Mr. Robinson” will have the benefit of an 8-9 p.m. lead-in live episode of “America’s Got Talent,” the #1 series this summer on broadcast, and that strategy will continue for the Aug. 26 launch of “The Carmichael Show.”

On Aug. 5, a “World’s Got Talent” special will air at 8-9 p.m., featuring the most memorable acts from “Got Talent” productions from around the globe.

Both “Mr. Robinson” and “The Carmichael Show” are scheduled for six episodes.”
