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!
Foxx backed out of hosting, We Are Family, on Fox, and Anthony Anderson got the job. Because of that, it made him available to host the postponed Emmys.
So, on January 15th, that is exactly what the actor is going to do.
“With our industry’s recent challenges behind us, we can get back to what we love — dressing up and honoring ourselves. And there’s no better celebratory moment to bring the creative community together than the milestone 75th Emmy Awards,” said Anthony Anderson. “When FOX asked me to host this historic telecast, I was over the moon that Taylor Swift was unavailable, and now I can’t wait to be part of the biggest night in television.”
Anderson is the perfect choice to host the award show. Not only is he likable, but he is also very funny. And his mom, Doris, better also be part of the night because she is what makes Anthony the best that he can be!
The Andersons show We Are Family debuts January 3rd on Fox.
Because of the strikes, the broadcast networks were not able to debut a majority of their shows in the Fall. Therefore, they had to hold them until 2024. Today, Fox announced when their scripted live-action series will debut in March.
Along with the announcement, Fox revealed that Family Guy is moving to Wednesdays at 9:30p after Joel McHale’s Animal Control, which both have The Masked Singer as a lead-on. Fox already announced that Rita Ora will be filling in for Nicole Scherzinger this season.

The Masked Singer has had some shocking people on there, like Dick Van Dyke, Rudy Guilliani, Dog The Bounty Hunter, and so many more. But tonight’s unmasking left me with my jaw on that floor.
That is because it was tennis legend and feminism activist Billie Jean King. I don’t think I have ever seen her do a reality show.
And this was the perfect one to start with. Because tonight was Elton John Night, and she sang Philadelphia Freedom, a song Elton wrote for her.
I hope Elton was as happy to hear her sing it as she was to sing it for all of us! I have so much luv for her and her singing!
Jon Hamm is coming to Fox on January 7th. But you are not going to recognize him. That is because he is playing an animated detective in Grimsburg.
Grimsburg, starring and executive-produced by Emmy Award winner Jon Hamm (Mad Men), centers on Marvin Flute (Hamm), who may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown and correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there’s one mystery he still can’t crack — himself. To do that he must return to Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, and redeem himself in the eyes of his fellow detectives, his ferociousex-wife and his lovably unstable son.
Grimsburg also stars Erinn Hayes, Alan Tudyk, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Rachel Dratch.
