Viola Davis, Tiffany Haddish, And Andre Braugher Join The Cast Of The Live Good Times Event

Get the Full StoryThey really could just do the theme songs as far as I m concerned, but ABC is going all out again for Live In Front Of A Studio Audience which will air next Wednesday. Last year, LIFOASA presented All In The Family and The Jeffersons. This year, according to Deadline, AITF is coming back, but they ve replaced The Jeffersons with Why Ain t Florida Evans Thicc? I mean, Good Times featuring Viola Davis as Florida Evans and Andre Braugher as the doomed James Evans.

Filling out the cast is Jay Pharoah as jive turkey J.J. Evans, Asante Blackk When They See Us, This Is Us, Us and Them, Us or Bust, Us: The Story of Us as Michael Evans, Jamie Foxx s daughter Corinne Foxx cashing in some nepotism credits as Thelma Evans, and Tiffany Haddish as sassy neighbor Willona Woods who I am sure J.J. used to think about while masturbating. Recent SAG nominee Jharrel Jerome When They See Us, Moonlight will also be joining the cast in an unspecified role. Now, if they manage to get Janet Jackson who played poor little Penny and was eventually adopted by Willona to do a cameo like how they had Marla Gibbs come through on The Jeffersons? Shiiiiiit. Take all my money. That would be worth the basic cable subscription alone.

As for the cast of the All In The Family episode, Woody Harrelson The Cowboy Way will be reprising his role as Archie Bunker and Marisa Tomei Untamed Heart will return as Edith. Also returning are Ellie Kemper Home Alone: Alexa Call 911 and Ike Barinholtz Snatched as Gloria and Meathead. New cast members include Kevin Bacon Wild Things , Jesse Eisenberg Cursed , and Justina Machado One Day At A Time , all in unspecified roles. It will air on Wednesday, December 18th.

Most importantly though, Patti LaBelle will be singing the theme song for Good Times. But before you get too excited, remember it s a duet, and Anthony Anderson will be sharing the singing duties. Sorry but this picture of him sandwiched between Kevin Spacey and Steven Seagal haunts me still. I know he was never charged with anything, but I just can t trust a man with a spray-on beard. But apparently he s a classically trained singer, so hopefully the new Good Times theme song will slap as hard as the original.
