NSYNC, Britney Spears) joins Gunpower and Sky CEO Van Toffler (MTV VMAs, “Tupac: Resurrection”) to produce this project exploring the boy band-obsessed era of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Bruce Gilmer, Paramount’s president of music, music talent, programming and events and Paramount+’s chief content officer of music, made a statement on the upcoming project: “The ’90s boy band era made an indelible impact and will be forever woven into the pop culture landscape. Boy bands remain bonafide global sensations to this day, as seen in the fan frenzy heard around the world during *NSYNC’s on-stage reunion at this year’s VMAs and the ever-spreading domination of K-Pop’s biggest groups like BTS, Stray Kids and TXT.” The documentary will include the songs, band members and personalities who defined the time period and explain the popularity of boy bands.
‘The Talk’, ‘Jennifer Hudson Show’ And ‘Real Time’ Are Returning To TV Amid Writers’ Strike
15.09.2023 - 02:35 / etcanada.com
Several talk shows are planning their returns despite the ongoing SAG-AFTRA/WGA strikes.
On Wednesday, Bill Maher announced that his HBO political talk show, “Real Time With Bill Maher”, will return to the air, but without writers amid the ongoing WGA strike, now in its fifth month. Citing the need “to bring people back to work” in a statement published to social media, Maher argued that the writers on strike are “not the only people with issues.”
“Real Time is coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing. It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work. The writers have important issues that I sympathize with, and hope they are addressed to their satisfaction, but they are not the only people with issues, problems, and concerns,” Maher wrote. “Despite some assistance from me, much of the staff is struggling mightily. We all were hopeful this would come to an end after Labor Day, but that day has come and gone, and there still seems to be nothing happening.”
The 67-year-old also noted that although the show would resume, it would be without several writer-driven segments, including his monologue and his end-of-show editorial piece, admitting that the new episodes “will not be as good as our normal show, full stop.”
“I love my writers, I am one of them, but I’m not prepared to lose an entire year and see so many below-the-line people suffer so much,” Maher concluded. “And I’ll say it upfront to the audience: the show I will be doing without my writers will not be as good as our normal show, full stop. But the heart of the show is an off-the-cuff panel discussion that aims to cut through the bullsh*t and predictable partisanship, and that will continue. The show will not disappoint.”
