Two of the biggest TV hits of the ’70s air tonight when ABC presents “Live in Front of a Studio Audience” for a second time this year.
ABC last-night host Jimmy Kimmel and TV legend Norman Lear will host live performances of Lear’s classics “All in the Family” and “Good Times.” Oscar-winner Viola Davis, Andre Braugher [[ BROW-er ]] and Tiffany Haddish lead the “Good Times” cast. J.J. will be played by Jay Pharoah.
Woody Harrelson and Marisa Tomei return as Archie and Edith Bunker in “All in the Family. “ Harrelson expressed his excitement about the project. “I’m such a fan of Norman Lear and this show and it’s cool that we’re getting to do this with ‘Good Times,’ which is another show I loved as a kid. It’s a dream come true. But it is daunting!”
“Live in Front of a Studio Audience” airs at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on ABC. It will, by the way, indeed be performed LIVE.
