Netflix is resurrecting Star Search on January 20th. The streamer already revealed that Anthony Anderson is going to fill Ed McMahon, Martha Quinn, and Arsenio Hall’s shoes, and today they announced who will be the celebrity judges.
They are…Jelly Roll, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Chrissy Teigen.
I get Jelly Roll, but the other two? What does Teigen know about talent? And Gellar is always the weakest cast member in every role she plays. And we learned during the Buffy the Vampire musical episode that she can’t sing. My ears still hurt from her attempt at it.
Well, at least we have a good host and singer as part of the talent competition series.
Star Search is back! The talent is bigger, the stakes are higher, and the format is more interactive than ever. Each episode will spotlight the best up-and-coming performers across numerous categories – music, dance, variety, comedy, magic and juniors – as they compete head to head for their shot at stardom. With an arced competition structure and weekly eliminations with real-time global voting, the series builds dramatic momentum, making every live episode an unmissable event.
Star Search will be live on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9p ET, so we can vote as we watch it.
