This Friday on FOX, HELL’s KITCHEN is kicking off Season 16 at 8/7c and from screening the first two episodes alone, the show is off to a crazy, intense start. Chef Aziza Young is among the 18 competing to win the prize and she and I spent some time talking about her journey to the show and what her experience was like. The kitchen manager from Harrisburg, PA, told me, “I wanted to challenge myself,” when I asked her why
Every now and then, running My Take on TV takes me down a weird avenue that I never anticipated, which is how I came to get on the phone with Johnny McDevitt, one of the charismatic, no-nonsense chefs competing for the Season 16 prize on HELL’s KITCHEN. He’s not just another reality cooking show chef; Johnny happens to be someone I’ve known for two decades.
At the end of LUCIFER’s Season 2 premiere, after Luci spent the episode looking for dear old escaped-from-Hell Mummy, assuming she was sending him message after message about the havoc she intends to rain down on him, a battered Tricia Helfer crawled into his loft and collapsed in his arms. I spent some time with Tricia, talking about joining the show, working with this cast, and where Mom’s head might be.
FLEABAG, created by and starring the incomparable Phoebe Waller-Bridge (BROADCHURCH), follows the titular heroine as she talks to the camera, clues you in on the workings of her mind, and weaves a perfect look into the exhausting life of being a modern woman, plus all that comes along.
Amber Coney currently stars as Cricket Diaz, a counselor at the incredibly creepy Camp Stillwater, on Freeform’s DEAD OF SUMMER, the late 80s horror show that premiered at the end of June. Tonight’s third episode is a big one for Cricket, so I got on the phone with Amber to talk about why this show stood out to her, what she hopes to see for Cricket, and where the show goes next. Oh and of course we made time to
Jodi Lynn Thomas recurs as Pearl on AMC’s recently-renewed Sunday night hit PREACHER and we spoke a bit about the show, and the causes that she finds herself championing. Have a read through! What a show! I love it. It’s so brave. Brave is a good way to put it. It’s not afraid to do what it wants to do. You have a character named Arseface! Right [laughs]. That show wouldn’t work if it wasn’t brave. It’s like nothing else
On the brink of the third season premiere of Murder in the First, (which airs June 26 at 10 P.M. on TNT), I had the honor to speak with Ian Anthony Dale about his role as Jim Koto on the series as well as his recurring role of Adam Noshimuri on Hawaii Five-0. First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me. I really appreciate it. I had the privilege to interview you in
Today, MToT is sharing a long read – a conversation that we had with Rachele Brooke Smith (star of CENTER STAGE: TURN IT UP) who returns as Kate Parker in Lifetime’s new sequel CENTER STAGE: ON POINTE. On a late afternoon that found my phone almost blowing up right in the middle of the call, Rachele and I spent time chatting about coming back to this world she first discovered at 13, what it means to her, and the inspiring
HEARTBEAT on NBC tells the story of a busy, workaholic doctor named Alex Panttiere and her relationships – to the work, to her fellow doctors, to the men in her life, to her interns. While the show will not live on beyond a solid first season run, we spoke with series star Rudy Martinez about what to expect out of the last run of episodes, why ou should revisit the season as a whole, and what’s coming next for him!
ABC’s THE FAMILY started out with a simple log-line: the Warren family is rocked to the core when their long-presumed dead son Adam returns. What’s transpired over the last 9 weeks is a mystery that features twist after twist, the least of which being that the boy who returned wasn’t Adam at all. Add to that, it was revealed that middle child Willa (Alison Pill) not only knew but planned the whole thing with the imposter. To preview the next explosive episode of the
