Honestly, it’s been dominating the Top 10 charts, even beating out shows like Heated Rivalry, Euphoria, Industry, and The Pitt. It makes total sense, though – this series is based on George R.R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight, and people are clearly loving it!

Mary J. Blige’s Mom Won Late Night This Week

These shows are giving a platform to people who often aren’t heard. The feeling of release viewers experienced on The Late Show when Bernie Sanders appeared was incredibly powerful. The enthusiastic cheer from the woman praising Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s campaign team was amazing, and the repeated clip of the ICE agent falling on the ice during the Weekend Update segment led to huge cheers from the audience – so loud you couldn’t even hear the people in the video reacting. These moments offered a shared sense of release and escape for everyone this week.
