This Is Us Season 5 Randalls Striptease Is A Great Kevin Callback

Randall’s (Sterling K. Brown) accidental striptease in This Is Us season 5 calls back to Kevin’s (Justin Hartley) former gig. The Pearson brothers are still not on good terms after their intense argument about Rebecca’s (Mandy Moore) health, and the current year continues to keep them apart. That doesn’t stop This Is Us, however, from sneaking subtle details that connect them — including one in the latest outing.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, This Is Us season 5 had a late start; instead of kicking off during the back half of September, it didn’t premiere until last week of October. Regardless, the show still stuck to its typical calendar, already entering its mandatory winter hiatus even with just four out of 18 episodes released for the year. But while there will be a more than a month wait for fresh episodes, This Is Us made sure to deliver on its final outing for 2020 which includes several reveals about the Pearsons, not to mention a hilariously embarrassing moment for Randall.

In This Is Us season 5, episode 4, titled “Honestly,” Randall accidentally does a striptease in the middle of a live stream. As the show deals with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Number Three addresses his constituents as their councilman through the internet. Malik (Asante Blackk), Deja’s (Lyric Ross) boyfriend, who was shadowing him at work that day was supposed to keep an eye on what’s being broadcasted but was distracted after he gets a call from his mom. Unaware that the video is still going, Randall starts taking his clothes off while grooving. Fortunately, before he fully flashed everyone, Malik interrupted and stopped him from what he’s doing. Randall’s stripping moment is reminiscent of Kevin’s first big acting gig playing the titular role in the sitcom The Manny.

Considering everything that has happened in This Is Us in the last few years, it feels so long ago already, but back in season 1, Kevin was the star of The Manny, in which he played a full-grown man nanny. Aside from the premise of the show which hinged on his relationship with the baby he looked after, the sitcom also had him take off as many clothes as frequently as possible. This was his character’s signature move in the show, and despite having a great physique, Kevin didn’t enjoy the idea of being objectified like that every single episode, which is why he ultimately quit despite his contract being in effect. Number One has moved to making movies now, with his next big-screen project having the potential to earn him an acting nod.

What’s interesting with the unfortunate incident with Randall is in the latest episode of This Is Us, instead of being furiously embarrassed, he didn’t mind it all that much. In fact, he may have even enjoyed the attention he got from it, boosting his morale considering that like Kevin, he also has a good physique. Since they were kids, Number Three has always been stereotyped as the nerdy Pearson brother, while Number One is the jock, this instance might have proven to Randall that he, too, could also be considered a hunk.
