September 5, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Georgia Engel may always be best remembered for her turn as Georgette Franklin on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, but the vivacious, sweet-natured actress has had a long and varied career. Yes, there’s been television — a medium she has kept up with over the years with memorable stints on Coach, Everybody Loves Raymond and Two and a Half Men — but she’s also a fixture onstage, lending her singing and dancing talents to productions like The Drowsy Chaperone. And in films, she recently turned up in the summer hit Grown Ups 2, showing a new generation of comic actors […]

Alfonso Ribeiro has had many jobs over his 30-year career in show business, which started back in the 1980s when he danced alongside Michael Jackson in a Pepsi commercial. From there he was the cool, streetwise Alfonso on Silver Spoons before completely reinventing himself in the ’90s as the hilariously uptight Carlton Banks in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He’s now showing off his comedy chops as host of ABC Family’s outrageous new game show Spell-Mageddon, which challenges its contestants to spell normal, everyday words while dodging hazards that prove a bit distracting, all in the hopes of getting a […]
