Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Jane Krakowski has tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19, and will not be able to star as Lily St. Regis in Annie Live. Since the show must go on, NBC told Deadline that Megan Hilty will take over the role. Hopefully, it will be an easy street for her.

“I am beyond thrilled to join this all-star cast, crew and creative team,” said Hilty in a statement. “My family and I have been super fans of Annie for as long as I can remember, and we always look forward to the epic televised musicals produced by Bob Greenblatt & Neil Meron, so to be a part of this particular production is an honor and a dream come true. I wish Jane the speediest of recoveries and hope to do her proud.”

In other casting news, Broadway’s original Annie Andrea McArdle will play Elanor Roosevelt in the production that goes live on December 2nd.

Have you been wondering when This Is Us is coming back for its final season? Well, today, NBC announced that, along with several other midseason shows like Kenan, Mr. Mayor, and Young Rock, will be back.

However, it looks like Ordinary Joe will conclude its first and only season before the Winter Olympics in February. That is because it did not get any additional episodes. I think they should have done standalone episodes so that we could have understood each timeline more. If you looked down and then up, sometimes you would be like, which Joe is this one. We just didn’t get as invested in him like we should have because we didn’t have time to get to know him. However, at least they tried something different.

One last note, New Amsterdam is taking a six-week hiatus for the limited series The Thing About Pam.

Even though La Brea hasn’t finished airing its first season, NBC announced today that it will be back for a second one.

The news is not a surprise because it is doing well in the rating. What I find a surprise is how well it is doing.

I wanted to like it, but I stopped watching after episode four. Maybe, I will binge it before it comes back next season.

Are you happy about this news?

NBC has been short on laughs this season so far because the sitcoms took the Fall off. However, they are coming back for one night in December to share some Christmas cheer.

On December 15th, Young Rock, Kenan, and Mr. Mayor will be giving us standalone holiday-themed episodes before they return in the new year.

Along with those three episodes, we will be getting sneak peeks of their two new comedies American Auto on December 13th after The Voice finale, and then on the next night, we get a 2-episode preview of Grand Crew.

On December 2nd, the musical Annie is going live on NBC with newcomer Celina Smith in the title role, Taraji P. Henson as Miss Hannigan, and Harry Connick, Jr. as Mr. Warbucks.

The first thing that caught my attention in the commercial was how hot the singer looks bald. It is almost like I don’t want him to start growing back his hair on December 3rd. At least, I am assuming he went under the razor because it looks too good to be a skullcap.

How do you think he looks with a chrome down?
