First Look at NBC’s ‘Great News’ (Plus Photos!)
Ever wonder what it would be like to work with your mother? Well, Katie Wendelson is about to find that out first hand on NBC’s newest comedy, Great News.
Katie’s mother, Carol, decides it’s time to make a change in her life, and shows up at her daughter’s news show as an intern. Even though Katie is close with her mother, she’s horrified at that the thought of working with her.
But will it really be as bad as she thinks?
I got an early look at the new comedy, and it’s wonderfully funny and quirky, but it’s also a show with a lot of heart.
Great News stars Briga Heelan as Katie, Andrea Martin as Carol, John Michael Higgins as Chuck, Nicole Richie as Portia, Adam Campbell as Greg, Horatio Sanz as Justin, and Tracey Wigfield as Beth.
Tracey Wigfield is also the show’s creator and executive producer. Tina Fey, Robert Carlock, Jack Burditt, and David Miner also executive produce. If you love 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you’ll want to make sure you catch this new comedy.
