Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS and The CW tonight (February 19, 2026) will add 14 shows to their lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion. (All Times Eastern.)
Primetime In Milan
What Kind of Show: Sports
Where to Watch: NBC
When to Watch: 8 p.m.
NBC’s exclusive primetime coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics continues tonight with highlights and recorded events (six medal events today!) including the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team playing Canada for the Gold! If you didn’t get a chance to watch earlier today on Peacock, this is a great way to catch up. Just be careful of spoilers from those who love to spoil.
TMZ Presents: Michael Jackson: 30 Fatal Seconds (New)
What Kind of Show: Tabloid Documentary
Where to Watch: Fox
When to Watch: 9 p.m.
TMZ takes a break from opening Nancy Guthrie kidnapping letters to present this new documentary claiming that the infamous fire engulfing Michael Jackson’s head during a 1984 Pepsi commercial led to him becoming obsessed with plastic surgery. That obsession not only caused the singer to dramatically (some might say bizarrely) transform his face numerous times, it might have prematurely ended his life.
Next Level Chef (New episode)
What Kind of Show: Reality/Competition
Where to Watch: Fox
When to Watch: 8 p.m.
Since Fox is unafraid of running new episodes against the Olympics, we will give some love to Next Level Chef, the Gordon Ramsay produced (and occasionally starring in) competition show where cooking wannabes compete for prizes. Tonight, the mentors (including Ramsay) form teams and the contestants dish out some delicious tacos. (Also note that Netflix just added a six-part documentary on Ramsay.)
