Elizabeth Banks admits that the Charlie’s Angels reboot is a flop, even appearing to joke about it, but says she’s proud of the film nonetheless. Banks directed the reboot, which earned $8 million domestically during its opening weekend. It had been projected to reach slightly above $13 million. Even though the action comedy fared better overseas, earning $19 million, its third place debut on the box office charts has been viewed as a disappointment. Many industry analysts have been discussing possible reasons for the lackluster performance, arriving at similar conclusions. The failure of Charlie’s Angels to ascend has been linked primarily to franchise fatigue, with experts citing it as the latest example of how audiences aren’t that excited to see updated versions of old stories in theaters.
Posting on her Twitter account, Banks acknowledged the negative headlines surrounding the reboot humorously and bluntly. She owned the fact that she is heavily linked to the project, in more ways than one, albeit she was also adamant that she was proud of the film and happy for its existence. Check out the tweet below.
In addition to directing Charlie’s Angels, and starring in the film as Bosley, Banks was one of the reboot’s producers and wrote the screenplay. Undoubtedly, the end result isn’t a positive one for those hoping to get a sequel. Even overseas, where the film did better, it only managed $7.8 million in the important market of China. Still, the film has its share of badass moments and even mixed evaluations of the reboot’s merits find positives.

But Sharna is hoping that will change soon, and she may need a show like The Bachelorette to help her find the right man.
"This is a conversation that keeps coming back to me. I am absolutely looking for love. I am ready for love," Sharna toldEntertainment Tonight. "I am getting more and more open to being the Bachelorette."

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - Nov. 18, 2019 - "The Kelly Clarkson Show," the #1 new daytime show, has been renewed through the 2020-21 season by NBCUniversal.
The hourlong syndicated daytime show, produced and distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution, airs in 100% of the country on more than 200 stations.
"The Kelly Clarkson Show," which debuted Sept. 9, is bringing in bigger ratings than any other newcomer in daytime and had the strongest start to any new first-run strip in seven years with an average of 1.9 million viewers per episode. The show is in fourth place among syndicated daytime talk shows that have been on the air for decades.
In digital, the show's social platforms have gained more than 1.5 million subscribers since September.
"'The Kelly Clarkson Show' is connecting with viewers in a unique way and we are so happy to build on that momentum, bringing Kelly's brand of humor, heart, and, of course, the incredible 'Kellyoke,' to stations for a second season," said Tracie Wilson, Executive Vice President, Creative Affairs, NBCUniversal Television Distribution. "It is a privilege to be in business with Kelly and our production team, led by Alex Duda, who have a clear creative vision and a talent for storytelling and creating quality entertainment that invites you in for a good time and leaves you feeling happy."
Clarkson kicks off each episode with "Kellyoke," a segment where she covers a recent or classic song by artists that her audience feels a connection to. "Kellyoke" covers include "Juice" by Lizzo, "Think" by Aretha Franklin, Taylor Swift's "Delicate" and "Alone" by Heart, among others. After the performance, Clarkson interviews a panel of guests that includes a mix of celebrities and everyday people. Some notable celebrity guests include Chance the Rapper, John Cena, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Garner, Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, John Legend, Jay Leno, Jason Momoa, Tyler Perry, Blake Shelton and others. She has also performed duets with multiple guests, including Garth Brooks, Cyndi Lauper and Ben Platt.
Segments range from doing the first ever original "American Idol" reunion show, featuring Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Justin Guarini, to giving back to everyday community heroes. In her first week on air, she helped to transform the lives of music teachers across the country with a Universal Studios "Tram of Dreams" surprise. "Good Neighbor," "Rad Human" and #WhatI'mLiking segments shine the spotlight on veterans, foster care and local heroes beating the odds.

Fox Television Stations has signed on to serve as the launch group forNick Cannon, the recently announced daily, nationally syndicated daytime talk show headlined by the actor-comedian. The program, from Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury, is set to premiere in September 2020 and originate from New York.

“Fox has been an indispensable station group partner for us and we’re excited to team with them once again,” Debmar-Mercury Co-Presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus said, “They share our strong belief in Nick, a multi-talented force of nature who will bring his fresh approach and track record of success to daytime talk.”
Cannon’s production company, Ncredible Entertainment, and Debmar-Mercury will co-produce the talker featuring his take on the latest in trending pop culture stories and celebrity interviews.

The Aces of Improv have returned again to do some singing...........but not the way you would in some fancy restaurant.
Ah, even the guys who came from the University area went to the studio today to visit. We'll have them once more on stage for the encore. Hope it'll be good.
ITV is forecasting that revenue at its production arm, ITV Studios, will grow at least 5% in 2019 thanks to a bumper year in the U.S. where it has delivered shows including Love Island for CBS.
In a third-quarter trading update on Tuesday, ITV said that ITV Studios’ total sales should increase to around £1.8BN ($2.3BN) in 2019, with CEO Carolyn McCall highlighting “good growth across the business, particularly from ITV America.”
Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen and TNT drama Snowpiercer were among the other shows she namechecked as she reflected on the performance this year, although it was not all good news. McCall said the “phasing of deliveries” of shows this year will “adversely impact ITV Studios’ performance in 2020.”
ITV Studios’ revenue stood at £1.1BN for the nine months to the end of September, which was up 1% on the same period in 2018, according to the trading update. However, this gain was offset by a decline in advertising revenue, which meant ITV’s overall revenue has fallen for the year to date.
The company’s total external sales stood at £2.2BN for the first nine months of 2019, down 2% year-on-year. Advertising revenue fell 3% to £1.24BN, with ad sales expected to be down 2% for the full 12 months of 2019.
On Wednesday, Nov. 27, Beth Mowins, the first female broadcaster to ever call a nationally televised NFL game (ESPN’s season-opening Monday Night Football doubleheader in September 2017) will continue her pioneering ways when she becomes the first person to ever call play-by-play for The Price is Right and its Wheel, star of the showcase showdown.
The popular American gameshow (M-F at 11 a.m.- Noon ET/10-11 a.m. PT on CBS) hosted by Drew Carey invited Mowins to take part in its college rivals special taping, timed to air before college football’s big rivalry weekend when conference or state foes square off for bragging rights.
For Mowins, the decision to expand her play-by-play dossier was an easy one.
“As a kid, whenever you had a sick day or a snow day, this is what you watched in the morning. You’d have your grilled cheese, dip it in your tomato soup, and watch The Price is Right. It’s a dream come true,” she said.
To prepare for her role, Mowins watched prior episodes to practice calling the wheel numbers the way she would call yards for a football game, and researched stats about key rivalry matchups. On the day of taping, with the help of her husband and stepson, she rehearsed on set in real time.
After the taping with a live studio audience, Mowins said the experience of calling the Wheel wasn’t too far off from her day job.
“There was drama, suspense, the thrill of victory. It had it all.”
As for Carey, whose idea it was for a play-by-play caller to join the show, he was pleased.
This weekend, Mowins will be teaming with analyst Anthony Becht and sideline reporter Rocky Boiman to call No. 22 Oklahoma State at West Virginia at Noon ET on Saturday, Nov. 23, on ESPN2.
Michael Strahan is one of the most affable and likable guys on television and he does a nice job with his portfolio of jobs, which is expansive. Let's just get that out of the way right now. But it beggars belief that he could be impervious to the proper pronunciation of Manhattan's Houston Street.
Any tourist learns that it's HOWS-ton by the third day.
Strahan spent his entire 15 year career with the Giants. He used to live in Tribeca, just south of this important East-West thruway. I'm at a loss here.
Live television will bring about slips of the tongues. It is very possible Strahan hasn't been telling cab drivers to take him to Texas' largest city for decades. It's also very possible no one has had the bravery to correct him.
For the last time today, we'd thought we'd bring up the Aces of Improv with.................an opera.
(stands up and gives roses and candy baskets to cast)
Well done guys. You had lack of rehearsal across the street at the Shira Lazar podcast center, but you 100% killed it. if you're in the Los Angeles area, catch their curtain call tomorrow evening live at the link below:
That's all for now, but remember one thing: Hasn't Elizabeth Banks blamed the original cast of Charlie's Angels from 2000 for not casting them in the first place?
So until next time and all the time.....play on playas.
