ABC to Produce Holiday Edition of 'Live in Front of a Studio Audience' Special!

ABC’s Emmy-winning special Live in Front of a Studio Audience is returning for a special holiday edition next month with an all-star cast recreating episodes of All in the Family and Good Times.

Norman Lear, Jimmy Kimmel, Will Ferrell, Justin Theroux, and Brent Miller are returning as executive producers on the project and Kerry Washington has joined the producing team as well. She appeared in The Jeffersons portion of the original special in the spring.

Woody Harrelson and Marisa Tomei starred as Archie and Edith Bunker in the original special, but ABC has not yet announced if they will be returning.

“Being a part of Norman Lear’s world was a career highlight; and working with great actors on these great shows was so much fun, we couldn’t resist tackling a holiday episode of All in the Family and one of my favorites, Good Times,” Jimmy said in a statement.

Norman added, “I don’t know which is greater – bringing back Good Times or co-hosting with Jimmy Kimmel?”

The Live in Front of a Studio Audience special will air on Wednesday, December 18 on ABC.
