Tonight at 8p on NBC, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Adam Scott, and Ben Stiller go to Jack Black’s house for Red Nose Day, and it might be the last time we ever see them. That is because they are taking part in the special Celebrity Escape Room.
The four of them will have to work together to solves ten puzzles in three different rooms. If they do that, then not only will they raise a lot of money to help children affected by COVID-19, they will also escape Jack Black and his billion-dollar ponytail.
The first room they enter is a bedroom with a lot of artifacts from the ’80s and their pasts. Will they be able to find out which items will help to unlock the door that will take them to their next adventure?
That place is a high school hallway. This location is not as easy as the first room. Things get even worse for Cox, who finds herself trapped in a room within the room, and the boys don’t do anything to free her. Eventually, Black guides them on the way that frees them all and takes them to the prom.
That’s right. It is time for them to go to biggest school dance of their lifetime. Once they are there, they will take part in a lifesize game of Simon that is harder to play then they thought.
Will this game ever end for them? Only when the fat lady sings. Since there are no fat ladies, the four of them will have to do a song together. Sadly, for Kudrow, she is not familiar with the popular tune.
Does that mean they will be stuck there forever like so many celebrities before them? You just have to tune in to find out. You also get to learn why we haven’t seen certain actors in a long time. They are being held captive in Black’s game.
Celebrity Escape Room is so much fun to watch; I hope that NBC turns this one-episode special into a series. I would love to see Black ask his Jumanji co-stars The Rock and Kevin Hart to do it. You know only one will survive if he does…
NBC loves Good Girls so much that they gave the show a fourth season. While the drama about three good girls, Retta, Christina Hendricks, and Mae Whitman, who turned bad does not get the best of ratings, it has a loyal audience.
That is because it is one of the rare series that empowers women. We can do anything, even crime. As Mae West once said, “When I’m good, I’m very good. When I’m bad, I’m better.” I can’t wait to see how much better they get next year.
Blacklist was in the middle of filming its 19th episode for the seventh season when the coronavirus pandemic broke out and shut down NYC. Therefore, they never got to complete what is now the final episode of the episode.
What are they going to do? Are they hold the episode for next season or come up with a creative way to finish it? They did the latter.
NBC revealed today that they will be adding graphic novel animation to the live-action scenes to flesh out the episode. All of the actors recorded their audio from their homes, and their voices will be added to the animation.
The season finale will air on May 15th, a week after the series’ 150th episode.
The Blacklist is not the first show to change up things due to the stay-at-home orders. All Rise aired an enjoyable all Zoom episode yesterday. It is not the only show to have done this. Saturday Night Live, American Idol, and The Voice have all done episodes like that too and this Saturday, Danger Force will do the same on Nickelodeon. While they are all live-action, Pop TV’s One Day At a Time will be doing an animated episode later this year.
Tonight’s Zoey Extraordinary Playlist brings the tears on tonight’s episode, but the music makes everything seem better.
As Jane’s (Jane Levy) father (Peter Gallagher) gets closer to losing his brave fight with his illness, his family goes funeral shopping. Jane, her mom (Mary Steenburgen) and her brother (Andrew Leeds) go to a cemetery to take a look at their options. They meet (Paul Feig, Executive Producer) and he gives them the hard sell. It is really hard on Maggie (Steenburgen) and she just gotta get out of that if it’s the last thing she ever does.
Maggie tells Zoey it is just too hard, and she doesn’t know what to do because she doesn’t know anyone who has been through it. Zoey goes back to the funeral home and meets a widow (Bernadette Peters), who doesn’t seem that sad. Zoey asks her if she will help her mom through this process. After watching Steenburgen and Peters share the screen together, I want them to share the stage in a musical.
Zoey is able to help her mom, but she needs help with the bake-off over Chirp. Now that Max (Skylar Astin) and Leif (Michael Thomas Grant) are working on the 6th floor, Zoey’s team is down 2 people. Do they even have a chance of winning?
Leif is still broken-hearted over losing his love, Joan (Lauren Graham), his boss, and sings her a sad song. He is not the only one because Max is telling Zoey, bye, bye, bye.
There is one more person whose heart gets broken tonight, Mo (Alex) breaks up with Mo’s boyfriend.
All of this leads to someone getting fired from SPRQPoint. Guess who?
I don’t know what makes me sadder, the sad songs, or that next week is the season finale. I am going with the latter. I don’t want this show to end because it is my new favorite show on television. I just love it so much!
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is back on NBC tonight at 9p after a week off. We find out what happens next for Zoey since her crush Simon broke up with his fiancee.
Zoey (Jane Levy) is happy that Simon (John Clarence Stewart) is single, and now she has a pretty good chance of getting it on with him. Is he ready to get it on with her?
One guy, she is not getting it on with, is her best friend Max (Skylar Astin), who has a crush on her. He is leaving her and the fourth floor for a new job on the sixth floor, their competition.
Gone with him is the coding he did when he was on the fourth floor for their project, Chirp. Now the sixth floor is going to steal and keep it for themselves. That is unless Joan (Lauren Graham) can get it back. Will she get it back or will she lose more than that to the sixth floor.
Zoey is about to lose something very close to her, her dad. Mitch (Peter Gallagher) is quickly deteriorating, and he does not much time left. Before he dies, Zoey wants to give her parents one more anniversary at their favorite restaurant. When her plan falls through, she will do everything in her power to give her mom (Mary Steenburgen) and her dad a Perfect night.
The last plotline hits very near to my heart. My dad went through some of the things that Mitch did before he died. So when Steenburgen and Gallagher sing Ed Sheeran’s Perfect, I was a blubbering mess. It is a beautiful scene that will truly touch everyone’s heart. Plus, the duet between the two actors is just phenomenal. It should be our relationship goals.
Just like it should be our goal to watch Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist every Sunday.
One last thing about tonight’s episode, there is a Zoey first. She hears someone sing the same song again. Which song is it, and why?
