Executive Producer Lear’s ‘’Live in Front of a Studio Audience” Returns Tonight: The Hollywood Reporter
TV legend and alumni Norman Lear ’44’s “Live in Front of a Studio Audience” third installment returns to ABC tonight with The Facts of Life and Diff’rent Strokes featuring a star-studded cast.
Lear won a 2020 Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special (Live) as executive producer of Live in Front of a Studio Audience: “All in the Family” and “Good Times,” which revitalized classic episodes of his groundbreaking 1970s TV series with new casts.
Lear was interviewed ahead of the special and expressed his joy:
It couldn’t be more exciting to be revisiting, after all these years, these precious characters with these wonderful actors in the roles. I feel like I’m 14 years old at rehearsal because it always feels like a first for me to see these actors for the first time in these roles.
