Hollywood is sometimes called “the dream factory,” so it’s hardly surprising that the judging panel is still in the City of Angels for the new “Los Angeles Auditions No. 2.” As the hopefuls give it their all in a bid to make it to the callback round, it’s bitterswee­t to remember they’re dancing here more or less freestyle. Once they advance to later rounds and must contend with technical factors they’re not used to, many will fall by the wayside

quickly. The new episode “Cocaine, Cartels & Crackdowns” reveals how violent cartel bosses such as Pablo Escobar rise to power by bringing their cocaine into America via secret airports. So-called “shadow wars” by the CIA and a former Nazi who also was a former U.S. intelligen­ce asset contribute to the world’s first narco-state. Actor Malcolm Goodwin has proven he knows his way around a joke. How is he, though, when he’s working without a script — or a net? This new episode finds the talented Goodwin joining improv aces Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie and special guest comic Gary Anthony Williams for some off-thecuff comedy. Aisha Tyler hosts. The Breaking Bad prequel wraps up Season 3 with the new “Lantern,” which sees Kim (Rhea Seehorn) taking some time off and Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk, pictured) trying to make amends to someone. Meanwhile, Nacho (Michael Mando) rolls the dice with his future.

9:15 p.m. on AMC Talking Saul Better Call Saul

consistent­ly gets plenty of respect from critics and even occasional awards considerat­ion, but the show doesn’t attract the level of pop-culture buzz afforded to flashier AMC offerings such as

The Walking Dead and Preacher. Happily, Chris Hardwick makes up for that to some degree as he hosts this live aftershow, welcoming members of the Saul cast and creative team to chat about the just-completed third season.
