I’ve been doing this for a minute and they want to sit in the audience with you guys.” Tuesday’s episode is set to focus on Susan Kelechi Watson’s character, Beth, and her husband, Randall, portrayed by Sterling K. Brown, where things stand now, and the details of their first date. “It’s when you make it to the other side,” Brown said, explaining that he’s neither “Team Beth or Team Randall” — he’s team “figuring” it out. “There is no such thing as a perfect marriage … it’s about two people together, working it out.”This Is Us airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
