Jimmy Kimmel Re-Creates Norman Lear’s ‘All In The Family,’ ‘The Jeffersons’ Episodes For Live ABC Primetime Special
quote:
Jimmy Kimmel will present a live 90-minute primetime event on ABC paying tribute to Norman Lear’s groundbreaking comedy series All in the Family and The Jeffersons.
An original episode from each iconic Lear comedy will be re-created; James Burrows is directing the live special. Live In Front Of A Studio Audience: Norman Lear’s ‘All In The Family’ and ‘The Jeffersons’ will air Wednesday, May 22, 8-9:30 PM ET.
Woody Harrelson will play Archie Bunker, with Marisa Tomei as wife Edith in the recreation of All In The Family. Jamie Foxx and Wanda Sykes take the roles of George and Louise Jefferson in the All in the Family spinoff, The Jeffersons.
Ellie Kemper will play Gloria Stivic, Will Ferrell will appear as Tom Willis and Justina Machado is set to play Florence Johnston, with more casting announcements to come.

Interested until seeing Will Ferrell is involved ... no confidence that he won’t totally screw it up. Who is going to play Meathead? And they are going to have to pick some tame episodes or they will piss off the SJW’s.

If Kimmel is doing this there is an agenda and it will not be good IMHO.

Hilarious that they'll use a 1970's script and you'll call it a 2019 agenda.

Don't be surprised though if there is some sort of indirect jab at trump. This is Kimmel after all.

Hoping Stephen Merchant is available to play Stretch Cunningham.

Seth Rogen should be meathead.

Rogen would be Pothead!

Lear gave them license to “re-imagine” the scripts. If you don’t think this won’t be a SJW circle jerk, I don’t know what to tell you

I can see Foxx in the George Jefferson part, Wanda for Weezy though?
I could see her as Florence but not Weezy. quote:
Marisa Tomei as wife Edith
Sorry, no. Marisa is too hot. Edith's attraction was as an amusingly absent-minded mom, not a MILF.
quote:
Woody Harrelson will play Archie Bunker
There's a possibility that could work. I hope he puts on some weight for it though. I also hope he remembers Carroll O'Connor's advice for how to play someone like Archie: you play him seriously, not as a buffoon.
quote:
Will Ferrell will appear as Tom Willis
Not bad but I would rather see him as Harry Bentley.

I agree Wanda would be a better Florence.
They should do the episode of the Jeffersons where the KKK members moved into the apartment building and George attended a meeting

She's made a career out of being too hot for the role. My Cousin Vinny, Anger Management, Spider-Man...

Again... STEPHEN MERCHANT

Is Kimmel going full blackface/body to be one of the Jeffersons?

If they keep it true, there will be no issue. It is not that Hollywood can keep it politic free, they just keep choosing not to.
I like my entertainment, like I like my religion - politics free.

I have many suspicions about this.

Is he going to say the N word? Cause I’d watch it if so, otherwise...

He did in the original.
