Late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel and actor/screenwriter Justin Theroux are teaming up to produce the special, to air debuting the 2017-18 TV season.
That is the example ABC entertainment president Channing Dungey gave on Tuesday afternoon when announcing a new ABC special in which today’s stars will perform scripts from classic sitcoms of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s — live.
“This is a way for a new generation of viewers to discover these classics and a new generation of actors to play characters they love, live in front of a studio audience.”
Imagine Kevin Hart asking, “Whatcha talkin’ bout Willis?”
