Kelly Clarkson Says Talk Show’s Move to NYC Was ‘100% My Idea’

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Despite what the splashy yacht parties in Cannes suggest, media companies really are trying to save money right now. Really! Top execs at Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, Netflix, Paramount Global, Amazon and NBCUniversal parent Comcast have all promised shareholders during recent quarterly earnings calls that they’ll be spending wisely amid the economic downturn. Sweeping layoffs and other cost-cutting strategies, including the removal of underperforming content from some streaming services, has been among the first orders of business in 2023. But no matter how many jobs these Hollywood heavyweights cut (in Disney’s case, 7,000 over the first half of the year), reaching an outlandish savings target (nearly $4 billion for the post-merger Warner Bros. Discovery) is going to require pinching pennies in more areas than staff headcount. While CFOs are shredding budgets to ribbons, TV’s latest FYC season poses another quandary: What is the cost vs. benefit of an Emmy this year? And does the statuette’s symbolic value go down if the best-of-television awards are not televised due to the writers strike?

Lisa Kennedy Fashionista Jenna Jones (Gabrielle Union) took quite the tumble from her position in New York’s world of style. In “The Perfect Find” — Netflix’s visually vibrant, cinema-loving, if not quite perfect, rom-com — her professional and romantic plummet is documented in opening credits that cleverly use an animated collage to relate her story. So, when we meet Jenna in person ,she’s without a job, and her man (D.B. Woodside) of 10 years has moved on … or so it seems. The 40-year-old is sporting baggy sweats, and not because she’s headed to the gym. She’s been living in her parents’ home licking her wounds, for a year, when her mother calls her out on it. The scene between mother (Janet Hubert) and grown-ass daughter is amusing and promising. As are the musical and visual choices director Numa Perrier makes that evoke Old Hollywood in a film with characters decidedly not Old Hollywood.

“SIX The Musical,” running at the Lena Horne Theatre, is as hot as ever.The upbeat 80-minute musical follows the lives of Henry VII’s six wives and how they moved on — “divorced, beheaded, died…divorced, beheaded, survived.” Over the course of the production, the Queens compete to determine who will be the lead singer of their band — winner is whomever was treated the worst by the King. The music in “SIX” is pop with a feminist tinge; for our money, the show feels more like a concert than theater.Don’t lose your head — be smart and take advantage of the affordable, available ticket prices for “SIX” while you can.At the time of publication, we found tickets going for as low as $78 before fees on Vivid Seats—not a bad price to catch a Tony-winning show live.We’ve got everything you need to know and more about seeing “SIX” live on Broadway.All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.Interestingly enough, “SIX” only runs five days a week.As of now, audiences can catch the show eight times a week, Wednesday through Sunday at Broadway’s Lena Horne Theatre — there are no Monday or Sunday performances.
