‘The Amazing Race’ Shake Up! Phil Keoghan On A Series First

March 28, 2017 Barb Oates

It’s the 29th season of The Amazing Race and host Phil Keoghan believes the show is more relevant than ever. “We’ve always prided ourselves in having a very diverse cast — black and white, Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, fit and unfit. We’ve always been a celebration of diversity, which to me is what America is.” So in a series first, The Amazing Race moves away from lifelong friendships and familial bonds and compiles teams by matching single contestants with complete strangers. “We decided that we would bring 22 complete strangers to the starting line. And then, literally pair […]

‘The Son’: Pierce Brosnan Saddles Up for AMC’s Sweeping Drama

March 28, 2017 Lori Acken

Pierce Brosnan sits across from me at a bistro table in the Southern California sunshine. He wears an impeccably tailored, steel gray suit that complements his salt-and-pepper hair. His blue eyes gleam. That voice — Brosnan doesn’t just answer questions, he orates. And all I (and most likely all the other diners stealing glances at the actor) can think is Bond. James Bond.

Brosnan plays the wily Texas rancher and oilman in AMC’s new period drama The Son — his first starring role in series television since Remington Steele made the debonair […]

‘The Kennedys After Camelot’ on REELZ: We Talk with Stars Katie Holmes and Matthew Perry

March 27, 2017 Lori Acken

In 2011, REELZ took a mighty chance on The Kennedys, an unvarnished, ambitious and star-packed Canadian miniseries about America’s de facto royal family. Assailed before it even hit the airwaves and rejected by both History and Showtime, The Kennedys made its U.S. debut on the little-known network that April, earning solid ratings, four Emmy wins and another six Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Miniseries or Movie. Six years later, The Kennedys gets a two-night sequel called The Kennedys — After Camelot. After Camelot is based on a J. Randy Taraborrelli bestseller — this time encompassing an expansive time frame “from Robert […]
