What's making us happy: A guide to your weekend listening, viewing and reading

This week, we cast our votes, watched a total lunar eclipse, and found a piece of the wrecked 1986 space shuttle Challenger.

Here's what the NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour crew was paying attention to — and what you should check out this weekend.

The Carmichael Show

I am admittedly late to the Jerrod Carmichael train. My earliest introduction to him was a stand-up he did on some sort of for profit or telethon. I remember thinking, "who is this guy?", but I never really followed him after that. And then, of course, last year and was very affected by it. I laughed and teared up. It was interesting watching him perform like that. Several people recommended that I check out one of his earlier works.
