Anthony Anderson is in Cape Town, South Africa, filming G20, and he spent the night in the hospital due to something that happened on the set.
“I spent the night in the emergency room. Movie set fight gone wrong. Me against two goons and a chair! Guess who didn’t win! Who needs a stuntman? Me that’s who,” he wrote. “I’m not as young as I used to be! CT scan and X-rays showed nothing fractured or broken in my back just a deep contusion. That chair will never be the same though! Bloodied and bowed but never broken!”
Thankfully, he is fine now. So fine; he was back filming today. And he is prepared to show that chair whose boss. Want to see that poor chair, then click here!
Fox’s Reality casting department really worked its magic. Because tonight at 9p on We Are Family, they got a legend to be a contestant on the singing guessing game.
The singer is such a massive star; I would love to know how they got him.
Although, what makes WAF such a touching show is that the mystery guests said yes in order to help their family members get some television exposure. And it was obvious that the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Famer agreed to do it to help their loved one.
So, I hope it works out for this family and the other families that compete on the show.
If you are unfamiliar with the show, I will give you a quick recap. Three singers compete each week, and the audience has to guess who their family member hiding behind the sphere is. Sounds easy, but it is hard. I get more wrong than right.
But I am not watching to win. I am watching for the reveals because it is so heartwarming to see the celebrities praise their relatives! Sometimes, like tonight, happy tears come to my eyes.
And there are also tears of laughter shed because host Anthony Anderson and his Mama Doris are so hilarious together.

Before Anthony Anderson hosted the Emmys, he was just a Guy at Party on The Wayans Bros. He has come a long way since he was 24 years old making his primetime TV debut back in 1995.
Anthony Anderson is going to host the Emmys this Monday on Fox, and he has a special role for his mom, Doris, with whom he co-hosts We Are Family.
He told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m letting people know there will be no play-off music. My mother will be your play-off music. So, please, be respectful. Get up here. Thank your god. Thank your agents, and everybody just make the stage in a timely fashion.”
“And you can’t say no to somebody’s mama,” Emmys producer Jeannae Rouzan-Clay added.
You can’t. So, if you win on Monday, make your speech short or face Anderson’s mom. And that is a fate you do not want.
Tonight at 9p on Fox, we are getting a singing competition which is unlike anything we have seen before.
We Are Family is hosted by Anthony Anderson and his Mama Doris, who steals the show. Why she doesn’t have her own show, I don’t know. But she is perfect for this one.
So, what is We Are Family about? Like I said, it is a singing competition. But the singers don’t win anything.
They are just there to perform as the studio audience tries to guess who their celebrity relative is.
There are three rounds in each game. During the first round, the family member sings one song solo as clues are shown behind them. Then, after the audience gives their guesses, they sing again with their famous relative, who is behind a sphere. More clues are shown on the screen to help the audience.
Now, it is time for the reveal! And we find out how many people got it right. Those who did get to share a $20,000 prize.
It is the same for the second round, but this time, they share a $30,000 prize.
The person who was the quickest to buzz in moves on to the final round, where they can win $75,000 if they guess correctly.
What makes the show so special is not only the Andersons but also the fact that the celebrities are doing this show to help their family member get some exposure. That’s right; they got to choose who they wanted to put front and center.
I love it when families help each other out. And this show makes that happen. Plus, we get to find out that some of these celebrities are actually good singers.
Who are these celebrities? They are actors, singers, comedians, and athletes. So it is nice to hear a different side of them.
We Are Family is The Masked Singer meets Claim to Fame with a lot of heart.
Therefore, it is the perfect show that you can watch with your whole family show. And the celebrities are famous enough that every generation can guess who they are.
Tune in tonight, and I promise this will become your newest addiction. We will all be talking about who they got, how good they were, and can you believe what Mama Doris said.
I have a feeling We Are Family is going to be around for a few more seasons because it is just that much fun!
