Audra McDonald & Laura Linney Launch a 'Feud' in Hilarious Tonys 2019 Moment!

Broadway actors are known for being supportive of each other and feuds in the community are rare, so James Corden decided to try and start some at the 2019 Tony Awards on Sunday (June 9) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The host asked actors to stand up and air out their grievances with each other live on television.

After the first two “feuds” ended in the actors making up immediately, Audra McDonald stood up to say she saw Laura Linney in the audience at her play last night, giving her the finger.

Instead of apologizing for it, Laura just said, “Yeah, that was me,” with a hilarious deadpan. The two stars then jokingly got into a physical fight in the front row. See some funny GIFs below!

Also pictured inside: Audra and her Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune co-star Michael Shannon and partner Kate Arrington on the red carpet earlier in the night.



FYI: Audra is wearing a Halston dress and Tamara Mellon shoes. Michael and Kate are wearing Dolce&Gabbana.

Michael Shannon happily poses alongside his co-star Audra McDonald while attending the opening night after party for their play Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune held at Brasserie 8.5 restaurant on Wednesday (May 29) in New York City.

The 44-year-old actor and the 48-year-old actress take the lead in new Broadway production of Terrence McNally‘s play, directed by Obie Award winner Arin Arbus, who were both in attendance at the event.

Audra was also accompanied by her husband Will Swenson who stepped out to show his support.

Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune tells the story of a lonely waitress and a short order cook whose first date turns into a one-night stand – and maybe more.

'The Good Fight' Renewed for Season 4 at CBS All Access

Good news for fans of The Good Fight!

The series has been renewed for a fourth season at CBS All Access, the network announced on Tuesday (April 23).

The show “continues to be a flagship original series for the service,” said Julie McNamara, executive vice president of original content at CBS All Access. “Its visionary creators Robert and Michelle King and the extraordinary cast continue to explore the cultural climate with insight, humor and courage, and we can’t wait to see where these indelible characters go next.”

The legal drama is currently streaming season three, in which Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) is trying “to figure out whether you can resist a crazy administration without going crazy yourself, while Adrian Boseman (Delroy Lindo) and Liz Reddick-Lawrence (Audra McDonald) struggle with a new post-factual world where the lawyer who tells the best story triumphs over the lawyer with the best facts.”

Meanwhile, Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo) “balances her new baby with a new love, and Maia Rindell (Rose Leslie) finds a new Mephistopheles in Roland Blum (Michael Sheen), a lawyer who is corruption incarnate.”

The Good Fight, a spin-off of The Good Wife, also stars Sarah Steele, Michael Boatman, and Nyambi Nyambi.
