If you’re unfamiliar, The Morning Show is an inside look at the modern workplace through the lens of the people who help America wake up, pulling back the curtain on early morning television. You can catch up on season one on Apple TV+ now.
The beloved NBC comedy series is going back home to the NBCUniversal family starting on January 1 and it will be available to stream on the new streaming service Peacock.
While every single episode of the series will be on Peacock, only certain subscribers will get to view the full series.
The 58-year-old The Office alum plays the iconic role in The Greatest Gift, an ad for Xfinity TV and broadband out on Thursday (November 26).
A two-minute version of the short film aired on NBC’s broadcast of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, followed by a three-and-a-half-minute version going online right after.
“After the year we’ve had, the usual gifts just aren’t going to cut it,” Santa informs a group of elves via a videoconference.
With time running out before Christmas Eve, the elves brainstorm a solution before deciding to give the spirit of the holidays itself, expressed through things like family snowball fights and the smell of grandma’s cooking instead of physical gifts.
The spot is soundtracked by Supertramp’s 1974 song “Dreamer,” reinterpreted by the band’s lead singer, Roger Hodgson.
“The holidays are really about moments of togetherness with the people you love, and serve as a reminder for what’s most important, especially given the hardships of this past year. I hope that this sweet little story will bring a bit of cheer,” Stevesaid of the ad.
The 58-year-old actor, who plays Mitch Kessler in the series, will return alongside Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon for the official second season.
Deadline reports that the series is set to restart filming on the show on Monday, October 19.
Season 2 of The Morning Show is expected to reflect the pandemic, and production was shut down just as the pandemic hit earlier this year.
Mark opened up about the show back in August about the storyline.
“I know that they’re also rewriting, which is crazy because that’s what happened in the first season,” he shared. “They had a whole set of scripts [then] and they rewrote everything to include the #MeToo movement, and now we’ve got other, larger, global phenomenon to deal with. I don’t know what they’re doing but I know they’re rewriting.”
Just recently, one of the stars won an Emmy for their role. See who it was here!
The 58-year-old 40-Year-Old Virgin actor waited for his car at the valet after grabbing dinner at Nobu on Wednesday night (September 2) in Malibu, Calif.
Steve looked handsome in a blue sweater and jeans while staying safe in a face mask as he headed home after dinner with wife Nancy and their kids Elisabeth, 19, and John, 16.
Earlier this summer, Steve was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at the 2020 Emmy Awards for his role in The Morning Show.
It was recently revealed that this actor almost had Steve‘s role as Michael Scott on The Office!
“It was almost more than I bargained for,” he said.
“I had [goodbye] scenes with everyone in the cast and it was emotional torture. It was like just fraught with emotion…and joy and sadness and nostalgia. But it was also really beautiful. I’d like treasure just doing that episode because it did allow me to kind of have a finality with everybody,” he continued.
