NBC's 'Go On' Episode 19: “Go for the Gold Watch”

On tonight’s “Go for the Gold Watch” episode of NBC’s TV show Go On, Ryan’s show is rated #1 but even this new, exalted status does not provide the personal happiness he wants in his life. Lauren explains that happiness comes from within and real joy can only be found by helping others. Ryan attempts to achieve inner happiness by helping Danny (Seth Morris) hook up with Sonia but she fancies the stranger, Carlo (Ben Falcone) instead. Meanwhile Owen and Anne snoop around the house of the strange Mr. K only to leave more disturbed than when they arrived.

In the series Matthew Perry (“Friends”, “Mr. Sunshine”) stars as Ryan King, a recent widower and sports talk radio host ready to get back to work after the loss of his wife. Ryan’s alpha-male boss, Stephen, played by John Cho (“Star Trek”, “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle”), has a different plan in store for Ryan, making him attend grief counseling before returning to the air. A reluctant Ryan finds himself in a support group for “life change”, where he meets an oddball cast of characters, all with their own backstories filled with varying degrees of loss.

NBC’s Go On episode 19 “Go for the Gold Watch” airs Tuesday, March 18 2012 on NBC (9-9:30 p.m. ET). Spoiler pictures below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
