Welcome to What’s On, our weekly roundup of notable shows. Here is what’s happening from Sunday, November 3 to Thursday, November 7. All times are Eastern. [Note: The weekend edition of What’s On drops on Fridays.]
The biggies
Election coverage (Tuesday)
Thanks to a tiny little thing called the presidential election on November 5, there not a whole lot of shows premiering this week. But at least every news channel will have you covered all day (and week?) long if you have the stomach for it. As far as highlights, The Daily Show has a live special, and Peacock has wisely set up a Steve Kornacki cam.
Hidden gems
Invincible Fight Girl (Adult Swim, Sunday, 12 a.m.)
In Justin Gordon-Montgomery’s animated series, a young Andy (Sydney Mikayla) dreams of becoming the world’s greatest pro wrestler under the alias Fight Girl. As she delves into the sports world, she meets an eccentric crew who help her achieve this goal. Invincible Fight Girl will stream on Max following its Adult Swim premiere.
