The sun is coming out on December 2nd for Nicole Scherzinger because she was cast in NBC’s live production of Annie. She will play Daddy Warbucks’ assistant, Grace Farrell.
“I’m so excited to be playing the role of Grace Farrell for NBC’s ‘Annie Live!’ Musical theater has always made my heart soar, so I’m over the moon to join this amazing cast for such a great classic,” Scherzinger said.
I have no doubt we are going to like her here because she can sing. Something that should be the first requirement when casting a live musical. But that is just my opinion.
Scherzinger is the second Fox singing competition judge to be cast for the special event. Harry Connick, Jr., who was a judge on American Idol, will play her boss and future husband. You would think NBC would have gone to The Voice first. Or maybe they did?
NBC released a promo for La Brea, and it is going to be a hit. People are going to tune in to see the new Sci-Fi show that is going to be up there with Lost. I also expect it to be a ratings juggernaut for its series premiere on September 28th like Manifest was when it debuted.
I just hope the sinkhole stays over by the La Brea tarpits because it is hitting a little too close to home for me. What? I love disaster flicks; I just hate when they are close to where I live. Is that wrong?
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if you had done something differently that one time? Would it have changed who you are now? That is what NBC’s Ordinary Joe will ponder starting on September 20th at 10p.
Seeing how his life could’ve gone in three different directions makes me want to see what direction the show will go in.
Plus, James Wolk is such a likable actor, we will want to tune in to find out what happens next to him.
Since then, NBC also pulled the plug on Good Girls, which seemed like an obvious renewal, and a Law & Order spinoff. That gives them a whole hour to fill, and Showbiz 411 says it could be filled with Manifest. Normally when a show is given the ax, the sets are torn down. It has been nearly a month, and the plan to scrap the set has been scrapped.
Not only that, the show’s mastermind, Jeff Rake, tweeted, “I’m not giving up. Keep the faith,” last week.
Could NBC and Netflix be changing their minds? We shall see. But I think it deserves a chance to wrap up since its story was only half-told.
Although it is rare that a show gets picked up after it has been cancelled, it does happen. For example, CBS cancelled and then picked up Jericho and Unforgettable, while NBC did the same with Timeless. So, there is a glimmer of hope. If only we had a plane that could take us five years into the future and tell us what happened. Although, that is what got us into this mess in the first place.
NBC revealed the premiere dates for their 2021-2022 shows yesterday, but there was one show missing. That show is Law & Order: For the Defense, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, it is not moving forward.
The latest Law & Order spinoff, which was given a straight-to-series order in May, was not going the way Dick Wolf envisioned. Therefore, he pulled the plug on the show.
Don’t feel too bad for him. He still has 8 other shows on the air. I am sure there will be a ninth one before we know it at the rate he is going.
