FETV Acquires The Carol Burnett Show Uncut; Hey A.J.! Coming to Disney Jr.
FETV (Family Entertainment Television), home to beloved and timeless television series and movies carried across cable, satellite, and virtual platforms, announced that The Carol Burnett Show will debut on the network with a "Ring in the Laughs" New Year's Day marathon. The show will then join the regular schedule on Saturday, January 3, 2026, airing nightly at 12:50am ET. As with all series on FETV, The Carol Burnett Show will air in its original, uncut format.
First premiering in 1967 and running for 11 seasons, The Carol Burnett Show stands as one of television's most influential and decorated variety series. The series earned 25 Primetime Emmy Awards and introduced countless beloved characters and recurring sketches – from "The Family" to "Carol and Sis" to numerous famous movie parodies.
Hey A.J.!, a new animated family comedy series, is set to premiere with a marathon of the first seven episodes on Tuesday, Jan. 13, on Disney Jr. (7:00-10:15 a.m. EST/PST) and later that day on Disney Channel and Disney Jr. On Demand. The episodes will then be available to stream on Disney+ on Wednesday, Jan. 14, with additional episodes debuting later in the year.
Inspired by children's book author and former Super Bowl champion Martellus Bennett, the upcoming new series Hey A.J.! is a whimsical and music-filled family comedy about an imaginative young girl who, along with her stuffed bunny sidekick Theo, uses her big imagination to make ordinary life moments extraordinary. Executive produced by Bennett, alongside EmmyⓇ Award winner Jeff “Swampy” Marsh (Phineas and Ferb) and GRAMMYⓇ-nominated songwriter/producer Michael Hodges from Surfing Giant Studios, the series features colorful 2D animation, relatable storylines for preschoolers and energetic, imaginative songs for families to enjoy together.
The series stars Amari McCoy as A.J., Martellus Bennett as Marty, Jhené Aiko as Siggi, Juliet Donenfeld as Jessie, Innocent Ekakitie as Jazz and David Mitchell as Theo. The celebrity guest voice cast includes Meghan Trainor, Cristo Fernández, Bootsy Collins, Kate Miccuci, Maulik Pancholy, Calum Scott, Lena Waithe and retired NASA astronaut and engineer Leland Melvin, who will guest star as himself.
