Quarantine viral video: Tony Shalhoub returns as Monk

Ted Levine, Tony Shalhoub, Traylor Howard in Monk

Peacock is US TV network NBC’s new streaming service (Peacock because of NBC’s logo, in case you’re wondering). One of its first is At-Home Variety Show – a virtual series hosted by Seth MacFarlane, that ‘aims to raise awareness and support for essential workers and struggling communities during the pandemic’.

First guest? Tony Shalhoub, reprising his mysophobic character from Monk, who’s not enjoying the lockdown one bit. Also appearing are fellow Monk stars Traylor Howard, Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford.
