NBC Summer Staples Return in Summer 2025; Gronk Guests on Animal Control
NBC will premiere the landmark 20th season of the hit competition series America's Got Talent on Tuesday, May 27 (8-10 P.M. ET/PT). Iconic singer, songwriter Mel B (AGT Seasons 8-13, AGT: Fantasy League) will reclaim her seat at the judges table joining the star-studded panel with executive producer Simon Cowell, fan-favorite comedian Howie Mandel and acclaimed actress and international superstar Sofia Vergara. The dynamic Terry Crews returns as host. The live shows will kick off at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium beginning Tuesday, August 19 (8-10 p.m. ET/PT) on NBC. Results shows will air Wednesday nights (8-9 p.m. ET/PT) starting August 20. Also returning this summer to NBC is Season 17 of American Ninja Warrior, premiering Monday, June 2 (8-10 P.M. ET/PT). Additional summer details will be announced at a later date!
NFL legend Rob Gronkowski guest stars on an-all new Animal Control next Thursday, February 13 (9:00-9:30 pm et/pt) on Fox. After Frank (Joel McHale) and Animal Control help Rob Gronkowski wrangle the real-life versions of every NFL mascot, his prank war with Templeton (Gerry Dee) reaches new heights and they are forced to work together against a common foe on an all-new episode of Animal Control. Catch all-new episodes of Animal Control Thursdays at 9:00/8:00c on Fox and the next day on Hulu.
The pack is back! Animal Control returns with more animals and more office antics for Season Three. Created by Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg and Dan Sterling, with Tad Quill serving as showrunner, Animal Control follows a group of local Animal Control workers whose lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not. McHale stars as Frank, an opinionated, eccentric Animal Control officer who may not have gone to college but is still the most well-read person in the room. A former cop, Frank tried to expose corruption in his department, but his efforts got him fired, which may explain why he's so cynical and curmudgeonly. He has an almost superhuman ability to understand animals. Humans...not so much.
In addition to McHale, Animal Control stars Michael Rowland as Fred "Shred" Taylor, Vella Lovell as Emily, Ravi Patel as Patel, and Grace Palmer as Victoria. Season Three guest stars include Gerry Dee in the recurring role of Templeton, Krystal Smith in the recurring role of Bettany, Sarah Chalke in the recurring role of Yazmin, Thomas Lennon in the recurring role of Patrick, Chelsea Frei in the recurring role of Isabelle, Lucy Punch in the recurring role of Fiona, Josh Segarra in the recurring role of Parker, Eve Palmer (Grace Palmer's sister) as Melinda, Rob Gronkowski as himself, and the return of Ken Jeong as expert (and unhinged) dog trainer Roman Park.
