Original story:This Is Us is singlehandedly ending droughts all over the world with the quantity of tears that it elicits. As any fan of the Pearson family knows, the NBC drama has revolved around two major deaths this season: Jacks (Milo Ventimiglia) inevitable demise when his kids a.k.a. the "Big Three" were teens, and Williams (Ron Cephas Jones) present-day, soon-to-occur passing following his stage IV cancer diagnosis.

10 Most Devastating TV Deaths of 2016

While the show has previously made it clear that Jack dies, it has also been hinting since the start that Williams death is close at hand. William himself has even waxed poetic on the topic of his own fatal ending in countless brilliantly delivered monologues.

Viewers have seen that Jack"s death has been particularly tough on daughter kate (chrissy metz), and it seems safe to assume that William"s will be similarly difficult for biological son Randall (Sterling K. Brown) to handle. On the Tuesday, February 14, episode, Randall suffered a devastating anxiety attack while feeling overwhelmed with work, family obligations and caring for his ailing father.

"This Is Us" Ratings Hit New Series High, "The Mick" Slips In Week 2 As Obama Farewell Dominates

This Is Us - A Father/Son Initiation (Episode Highlight)

UPDATE, 9:51 AM: Back for the first time in five weeks, it was a very good night for This Is Us on Tuesday with President Barack Obamas farewell address as a lead-in.

Moved to 10 PM for the POTUS speech, the breakout NBC drama scored a 3.0 rating among adults 18-49 in Nielsen fast officials a series high for the Dan Fogelman created series. Thats a bop up of 7% in the key demo from the December 6 airing of the Sterling K. Brown and Mandy Moore starring show, the previous high. It is also up 15% from the unadjusted fast affiliates of earlier this morning.

The top show of the night, including the Presidential address, This Is Us is the best NBC has done in the slot with a scripted show since the 3.1 rating that Parenthood pulled in on March 2, 2010. With 10.5 million viewers watching across the county, This Is Us is also the best the net has done in total audience in the 10 PM time period since June 2, 2009 when Law & Order: SVU scored 11.566 million viewers.

With all that, This Is Us moves back to its regular 9 PM time slot next week.

PREVIOUSLY, 9:16 AM: After a strong showing following the NFL playoff doubleheader last week Foxs comedy The Mick (1.1) dropped two-tenths of a point in the 18-49 demo Tuesday on a night that was dominated by President Barack Obamas farewell speech from Chicago. The Mick, which drew 3.0 million viewers at 8:30, matched its lead-in New Girl (1.1) this time after building on it last week as the networks highest-rated show of the night.

The show meanwhile was given an additional four-episode order today after that special premiere after football on January 1 drew a 3.7 rating, the best comedy debut on Fox since New Girl.

Airing at 9 PM ET, Obamas speech was carried on all Big 4 networks and in non-time-zone-adjusted fast nationals drew 24 million viewers (those will adjust later). The speech, which clocked 50 minutes, forced broadcasters to shift around their primetime schedules in the hour when it was announced.

The speech did throw a wrench in the reporting for NBCs breakout freshman drama This Is Us, which returned after its winter break. It aired at 9 PM on the West Coast and 10 in the East Coast, so fast nationals are not reliable as it aired out of pattern. Still, it will be the highest-rated entertainment show of Tuesday. At 8 PM, NBCs The Wall (1.7) was steady with its strong showing last week in the game shows regular time slot.

ABC went with its comedy block of The Middle (1.7, even) at 8 and American Housewife (1.5, down a tenth) at 8:30. CBS aired repeats of NCIS at 8, and a Big Bang Theory/NCIS: New Orleans combo following the speech.

The CW aired No Tomorrow (0.2), which did not get a back order, during the speech.
