Sterling K Brown was on Live with Kelly yesterday and he told the incredible story about the birth of his first son.
His wife and him went to birthing classes and thought she would be in labor for at least a day after she had her first contraction at 11p. Even the doula told her to relax, you have plenty of time. She went to take a shower, but kept having to pee. Then all of a sudden Ryan comes crawling out of the bathroom and tells him she is crowning. He doesn’t believe her until he sees his son’s head. Then one more push, and his son was born. And that is how they became This Is Us.
Amazing story right? It is even more amazing as he acts it out with Kelly Ripa.
Gotta love when someone who works hard their craft for years finally makes it.

Before Justin Hartley could pick up any woman he wanted on This Is Us, he was rejected by one who was drinking Miller Genuine Draft. How cute was the 25 year old in that 2002 ad?

This Is Us is the most loved new show and episodes like the one that airs tonight at 9p on NBC is why.
Before Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) had kids, they were just a married couple who weren’t sure they wanted them. They were still learning about each other and Rebecca wanted to know more about her husband loves. He loves football and she asks him to teach her about the game. The two bond over the game and they talk about the prospect of kids. Something she does not want. As we know, something will happen that will leave her pregnant with triplets and tonight you will find out what that is.
Rebecca wasn’t the only female in the Pearson family who loves the pig skin, Kate (Chrissy Metz) also has a fondness for it and likes to watch the game by herself. Her boyfriend (Chris Sullivan) wants to share in the experience with her, but he screws it up big time. A revelation that will cause him to finally meet her father.
Talking about fathers, Kevin (Justin Hartley) moves in with Randall (Sterling K Brown) and his family and they can’t wait for him to get out. Before Kevin gets his own place, the Manny takes care of his nieces. He might’ve taken good care of kids when it was scripted for him, but in real life he sucks.
How awful is he? You will just have to tune into this show that makes you love it more and more ever week.
Last week, viewers fell in love with American Housewife and tonight at 8:30p on ABC they get to love her and her family even more. Katie (Katy Mixon’s) kids keep her up all night and all she wants is a nap. Every time she gets close to closing her eyes, something else comes up. Moms around the World will understand her pain, as people will laugh with her about the never ending desire for a quick shut.

Then at 10p but over on NBC, it is a nice day to go for a swim on This Is Us. Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) take their triplets to the community pool and we see how hard it is for parents to monitor 3 kids who are the same age at once. As we see them struggle, we also get to see how little things from this outing effect them when they get older.
Fast forward to modern day, Kevin (Justin Hartley) has moved to NY and he already has his first audition. To say it doesn’t go well would be an understatement. Thankfully he has his brother Randall (Sterling K. Brown) nearby. Only problem is Randall and his biological father are still trying to acquaint with each other. Then there is Kate (Chrissy Metz) who just saw her boyfriend’s ex wife, who is perfect, for the first time. Now she wants to get to know her better. She gets really close to her. Maybe too close.
And This Is Us is close to our hearts.
