BRETT GELMAN - Mr. K on NBC's "GO ON"

Tuesdays (9-9:30 p.m. ET) on NBC Brett Gelman stars as the enigmatic Mr. K, a participant in the support group meetings, in NBC’s new comedy series “Go On.” It’s not quite clear what Mr. K is grieving. But as badly as his fellow group members would like to know, no one is willing to get close enough to ask. Gelman, an Upright Citizens Brigade regular, is currently co-starring in Adult Swim’s “Eagleheart.” He has appeared in “The Other Guys,” directed by Adam McKay, and both seasons of “Funny or Dies Presents.” Additional credits include a guest starring role on “The League,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Bored to Death.” GO ON Tuesdays (9-9:30 p.m. ET) on NBC He's back, and better than ever! 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. On his very first visit, Ryan convinces the group to deviate from their normal session and starts a tournament-style competition (March Sadness!) to find out whose story is the worst. Ryan’s total lack of interest in "the healing process" proves distracting and he soon butts heads with the by-the-books group leader, Lauren, played by Tony Award-Winner Laura Benanti ("The Playboy Club"). Back at work, Ryan is confronted with the fact that he hasn't really processed his grief and realizes Lauren and the other members of the group might be key in helping him move on. Also starring are Tony Award-Winner Julie White (“Transformers”) as Anne, Bill Cobbs ("The Muppets," "Night at the Museum") as George and Suzy Nakamura (“Dodgeball”) as Yolanda.
