The TV personality announces on Instagram that while she ‘values her co-hosts and their daily participation,’ her talk show will not have studio audience until ‘the time is right.’
Mar 11, 2020
AceShowbiz – Wendy Williams is not taking any risk amid the growing spread of coronavirus. On Tuesday, March 10, the TV host/personality came out with an announcement that her syndicated talk show, “The Wendy Williams Show”, will be filmed without live studio audience for an undetermined period of time.
A released statement from the 55-year-old’s show read, “Wendy values her co-hosts and their daily participation but in light of the current health climate, ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ will not have a live studio audience until further notice.” It further noted, “We will continue to produce a daily live talk show and look forward to welcoming the studio audience back when the time is right.”
Williams’ show was not the only one taking precaution by banning audience from the live taping. A number of ABC’s shows, such as “Live With Kelly and Ryan”, “The View” and “Good Morning America”, have reportedly made similar decision to film episodes in an empty studio.
On Tuesday night, March 10, ABC issued a statement to Page Six regarding the matter. “Given the current developing situation in New York City, we have made the decision to suspend live audiences from attending our news broadcasts and talk shows,” the statement read.
In addition, the network was reported to forbid its star hosts, including Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan, from getting physical contact with the public. Page Six claimed that they were told not to take selfies with the crowd.
The drastic measure taken by Williams and ABC came after “Dr. Phil”, which is hosted by Dr. Phillip C. McGraw, announced it would be filmed without audiences. “The health of our audience members, staff and crew are the priority,” explained executive producer Carla Pennington as quoted by Deadline.
The publication further noted that “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune” have also suspended audiences from their episodes taping.

What’s StreamingAMAZING STORIES Stream on Apple TV Plus. A smartphone-obsessed man gets more than he swiped for in this new anthology series, which is based on a 1980s sci-fi show created by Steven Spielberg. The first episode stars Dylan O’Brien as a man who is unwittingly transported from 2019 to the early 20th century through supernatural means. He makes the best of it, finding unlikely love in a rebellious local played by Victoria Pedretti.ORLANDO (1993) Stream on Criterion Channel; rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. For a different kind of time-bending story, see Sally Potter’s loose adaptation of the Virginia Woolf novel “Orlando.” Like the book, the film distorts both time period and gender; it stars Tilda Swinton as its title character, who begins the story as a 17th-century English nobleman and ends it as a late 20th-century author and mother. Potter “takes a huge, audacious and necessary leap away from the page,” Caryn James wrote in her review for The New York Times. “The film distills Woolf’s rich literary manner into sumptuous backdrops and visual styles that change with the centuries, suggesting a pageant of art history from Renaissance chiaroscuro to misty Romanticism and beyond.”UGLY DELICIOUS Stream on Netflix. The chef and restaurateur David Chang cooks Indian food with Padma Lakshmi, gets a lesson in “modernist cuisine” from the tech executive turned cookbook author Nathan Myhrvold and eats at an Outback Steakhouse in the second season of “Ugly Delicious.” Like the first season, the new episodes look at foods in their larger cultural contexts. (In his review of the first season for The Times, Mike Hale described the show as “an extended television essay, in the form of free-associative, globe-trotting conversations about food and culture.”) Season 2 opens with an episode built around food for children, with notable chefs discussing how to cook for kids, and how they balance their professional lives with parenting.What’s on TVJOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 (2017) 5:30 p.m. and 10:05 p.m. on USA Network. Here’s a moment from this second entry of the “John Wick” series: Despite having just been struck by a four-door sedan, the former hit man John Wick (Keanu Reeves) manages to dodge about a dozen gunshots. He then vaults over the hood of a Mercedes and tackles a beefy bodyguard played by the rapper Common. The two punch and kick at each other, then tumble down a dingy Roman staircase. And that’s not even the end of the fight. The plot of the second “John Wick” movie “matters only inasmuch as it allows the returning director, Chad Stahelski, to stage his spectacular fight sequences in various stunning Roman locations,” Jeannette Catsoulis wrote in her review for The Times, “where they unfold with an almost erotic brutality.” Such scenes have proven to be a potent force at the box office: The series has grown more popular with each entry.

“I was eight years old when I found an old black and white TV in my parents’ basement, I snuck it under my bed and was watching, basically, every ‘SNL’ from eight to 18 – and I only told my mom this weekend.”
“She was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I used to set my alarm to 11.30 and watch from 11.30 to 1(am) and then go back to bed.’ ”

The Tuesday, March 10 episode of the long-running ABC dating show picked up with the pilot on the day of the final rose ceremony following Madison’s departure.
Mar 11, 2020
AceShowbiz – The second part of Peter Weber’s “The Bachelor” season finale is finally here. Airing on Tuesday, March 10, the episode picked up with Peter on the day of the final rose ceremony. Following Madison’s departure, Peter admitted to feeling heartbroken but he believed that Hannah Ann was his true love.
He got the help of jeweler Neil Lane to prepare an engagement ring for Hannah Ann, and he opted for a massive, pear-shaped sparkler. He FaceTimed Hannah Ann’s father to ask for his blessing before he proposed to Hannah Ann and Mr. Sluss happily approved Peter.
Meanwhile, Hannah Ann was anxious because Peter previously told her that his heart pulled in “two different directions.” Peter was stressed out after host Chris Harrison told him that he wasn’t sure if Hannah Ann would be coming. However, she, who wasn’t aware with the fact that Madison left the show, eventually showed up. When Peter proposed to her, she unsurprisingly accepted. Peter’s family was also thrilled to know who Peter’s new fiancee was.
However, the happy moment didn’t last long because the couple looked awkward when Hannah Ann paid Peter a visit in Los Angeles after a month apart. As Peter admitted that his heart was still with Madison, they ended their relationship, but that wasn’t without Hannah Ann calling him out for being “selfish.”
Later in live broadcast of “After the Final Rose”, Peter and Hannah Ann came face-to-face. She wasn’t happy and felt blindsided because Peter never really told her about what happened to Madison. Additionally, Hannah revealed that she was feeling further blindsided when Peter told her he wanted to have one more conversation with his another ex Hannah Brown. She told him that he needed to be a “real man” if he really wanted to settle down with someone.
Later, fans were offered with footage of Madison in her hometown. She said she regretted everything and was willing to give Peter a second chance before heading to L.A. to reunite with Peter. Both of them said that they’re still in love with each other though they didn’t meet again after the reunion. Madison then joined them onstage.
Barbara, Peter’s mom, however, wasn’t really feeling Madison. She revealed that Madison made them wait three hours when they were in Australia and never apologized for it. “At the end of the day, it is what is it. You can’t change the past. There’s a lot that’s out of my control. I came into this journey and said I was going to be unashamed of who I am and that’s something I’ve done. I know I have love and respect for Peter, therefore, I have love and respect for Peter’s family. And I will never say another negative word about anyone or anything,” Madison responded.
Still, Barbara wasn’t happy with the fact that she didn’t want to compromise with Peter. She also said that Peter was going “to fail in order to succeed” in his relationship with Madison. Despite the tension, Peter made it clear that he’s in love with Madison and they’ll have to accept it. Peter ended up not being engaged to anyone though he’s dating Madison.

‘The Big Bang Theory’ alum insists that her sister landed the role with her own effort, pointing out that about 20 people loved her performance during the audition.
Mar 11, 2020
AceShowbiz – Kaley Cuoco has insisted she didn’t use her pull to get her sister Briana a role on her new TV show “The Flight Attendant”.
The 34-year-old actress stars in the HBO Max series as flight attendant Cassie, while Briana also appears in the programme. However, in an interview with U.S. TV show “Extra”, Kaley, who also produces the show, hit back at criticism that she helped her sibling get the part.
“My sister got a role, she auditioned on her own. I didn’t even know she was auditioning, by the way,” she said. “There’s like 20 opinions besides my own… Everyone loved what Bri did, and she actually plays a really pivotal role, so I am thrilled for her and we are living together in Brooklyn like roommates. We’ve had a blast.”
Kaley was given the chance to phone her sister and tell her she’d landed the role, however, admitting Briana “cried” when she got the call. And the pair’s parents were thrilled when they found out both their girls were starring in the same programme.
“They cried… We FaceTimed my parents together,” Kaley recalled. “I said, ‘You’re going believe this. Bri just booked a job on ‘The Flight Attendant’. My dad said, ‘This is my dream come true – both of my girls working together and being together. This is my biggest dream as a dad.’ ”

My understanding is that “Better Call Saul” is a prequel to “Breaking Bad,” which I’ve never watched but intend to. So should I watch “BCS” before viewing “BB”? — SusanYes, “Better Call Saul” is a prequel, but it definitely makes more sense to start with “Breaking Bad.” “Better Call Saul” gets a lot of juice from its implied resonance with “Breaking Bad” — familiar faces, people you know are not long for this world, jokey callbacks to obscure incidents. It’s also what helps fill the show with its melancholy, like a sad fable where you’re cursed by knowing the future, and who’s there and who isn’t. “Saul” hasn’t hit its tragic era yet, and maybe it never totally will. Maybe we will be very lucky, though I am girding myself. Definitely watch “Breaking Bad” first!But maybe it doesn’t matter? I’ll put it this way: Given that you have not yet watched “Breaking Bad,” maybe you don’t want to watch “Breaking Bad” that much, and you want to try “Better Call Saul,” in which case you should.I think you will have more fun watching some “Saul” than no “Saul,” and there’s plenty of intrigue and dynamism for it to stand on its own. Honestly, you can have a wonderful journey through the drama of the human condition just by watching only the scenes between Saul — known as Jimmy for most of the show — and his love interest, Kim. Will you miss a ton of information and not totally get everything? Yes. Will you still find sublime joys within? I’m absolutely certain you will. These shows both reward careful, even obsessive viewing, but they don’t require it.Will “Homicide: Life on the Street,” the greatest cop show ever on network television, ever be available for streaming? It came from an era, the ’90s, that was a preview of the quality television that was just around the corner starting with “Mad Men” and “The Sopranos.” — RichardRichard, I’m starting to lose hope. This has been one of my enduring wishes for the last decade, and I kept thinking the day was right around the corner, when finally one of my favorites of all time would make it to streaming, and then I could enjoy 9,000 articles dissecting its minutiae and everyone getting super into it and arguing about the best episodes and burying myself in a hundred Frank Pembleton GIFs.But it hasn’t happened. When “ER” and “NYPD Blue” finally came to Hulu, I was sure “Homicide” couldn’t be far behind. Then two years went by. Then I thought NBC’s big Peacock rollout might include it, but it didn’t. HBO can spend almost half a billion dollars on “Friends,” but we can’t go to the Waterfront Bar one more time?To my dismay, it seems like major back catalogs just aren’t as big a deal as they were even five years ago; a few flagship classics might be all big streaming platforms are willing to pay for now while they turn their attention, understandably I guess, to flashier and buzzier originals. (And reboots.) Disney Plus has a much bigger push for its film library than its television one. Netflix has let its library atrophy, and Hulu is making a to-do about its FX partnership, but it doesn’t even have every FX show. Heck, Apple TV has no back catalog at all.I thought the streaming revolution would bring me all the wonders of the TV world, and I would have all the shows at my fingertips; a library vast and wonderful, a chance to see everything I had always longed to see, and even better, a chance to share all the weird minor treasures I’d adored in obscurity. That did not happen. (And before you email me about DVDs: Many of my favorites have never made it to DVD, either!) So while I remain devout in my dedication to “Homicide,” I’m feeling less optimistic about its streaming future. I hope I’m wrong. In the meantime, you might like “Southland.” (It’s on Hulu.)My husband has stubbornly declared that he won’t start another new TV series unless he feels assured the series has a clear plan for an eventual ending.  I try to explain to him that TV doesn’t work this way, and often they just don’t have every season perfectly mapped out before they shoot the pilot. Am I right or what? Isn’t it worth watching and enjoying one good season, even to give up later in the show? Back me up here, please. — SahraYou are right! And I bet you guys would like “Better Call Saul.”It would be quite rare for a TV show to be completely mapped out before a pilot had been shot — unless that show is a mini-series. So maybe it’s time to go the mini-series route for a bit. Watch “Angels in America.” (It’s on HBO Go.) Watch the 1981 “Brideshead Revisited.” (On Amazon.) If you like history, try “Wolf Hall” (on PBS Passport). More politics and tension? Watch “The Night Manager” or “The Honorable Woman” (on AMC or Amazon). Want something more recent and buzzy? “Chernobyl,” “When They See Us” and “Watchmen” (HBO, Netflix, HBO).No one enjoys being disappointed, but to watch a show for many years is to know that everything in the world is flawed. I’d love to only watch shows that never diminished in quality, but that is such a strange bar — especially because one’s own tastes change in the span of decade, and shows have to breathe and grow and develop, too.Send in your questions to [email protected].
