On Will Trent, Franklin (Kevin Daniels) and Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) teased Angie (Erika Christensen) about her prolonged pregnancy with lines like, 'You've been pregnant for three years,' and 'I'm just waiting for a toddler to walk out of your baby oven.' The exchange notes her 38 and a half weeks of gestation spanning a full season. Survivor captured excitement at Tribal Council, where 'Rizo' declared, 'Like the pot is $2 million, baby!' amid the game's latest twist. On Elsbeth, the title character (Carrie Preston) remarked on her busy precinct, likening it to a scripted show's pace: 'It's like every week, it's something new.' American Idol featured comedian Nikki Glaser praising a contestant, joking, 'I know Jennifer Hudson throws a shoe, but I don't have one. Should I throw my SPANX? I'm wearing six pairs!' R.J. Decker included banter comparing a character to Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, with R.J. (Scott Speedman) defending the mystery-solver.
