Mini Desperate Housewives Reunion on Hallmark Christmas Movie; The Kids Tonight Show Premieres Oct. 14
Former Desperate Housewives co-stars James Denton and Teri Hatcher are reuniting in A Kiss Before Christmas, a new, original movie premiering during Hallmark Channel's annual "Countdown to Christmas" programming event. Denton also executive produces the movie. This is the first time the pair has worked together since the iconic series ended in 2012 and it is the first on-screen reunion of any cast members from the hit series. Real estate development executive Ethan Holt (Denton) is a married father with two teens. On Christmas Eve Ethan is disappointed to learn he's losing out on a promotion and laments that his "nice guy" way of doing business has held him back in his career. Thanks to some Christmas magic, Ethan's casual wish that his life had taken a different course becomes reality. He wakes up the next morning and is shocked to find everything is different - he isn't married to Joyce (Hatcher), he doesn't have two teenaged kids and he's CEO of his company. Joyce is the key to Ethan being able to reclaim his original life and the family he loves - he must convince her that their happily-ever-after is waiting for them... and he only has until Christmas Day. Marilu Henner (Taxi) co-stars. No premiere date has been announced just yet.
The Kids Tonight Show, executive produced by Jimmy Fallon, is a new late-night series launching on Peacock on Thursday, Oct. 14 with two new episodes dropping weekly.

Shooting in Studio 6A at 30 Rock, across the hallway from Fallon's own Studio 6B, The Kids Tonight Show is an all-new late-night series that will offer a unique kid's lens on the iconic series The Tonight Show. Viewers will get next-generation interpretations of all the beloved Fallon bits, celebrity interviews and signature late-night fun for kids and the whole family. The trailer highlights some of the incredible guests including JoJo Siwa, Charli and Dixie D'Amelio, Yara Shahidi, Meghan Trainor, Kristen Bell, Questlove & Tariq, Tituss Burgess and Celina Smith from Annie Live!, Jimmy Fallon himself, and more! Official guest listings will be announced on a weekly basis. The series will feature four brilliant kid hosts - Recker Eans, Mykal-Michelle Harris (mixed-ish), Olivia Perez (In the Heights) and Young Dylan (Tyler Perry's Young Dylan) - who will deliver monologues, interview guests, play games, and completely run the show!
