Celebs flocked to the NBCUniversal Summer Press Day to screen and promote their upcoming shows. Go inside for flicks of the “Marlon” cast, Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo and more…
After inking an overall deal with Universal TV, Marlon Wayans scored a new show loosely based on his life titled, “Marlon.” And now he’s on the promo trail making press rounds.
The actor/comedian hit the carpet at the 2017 NBCUniversal Summer Press Day at The Beverly Hilton Hotel alongside his co-star Essence Atkins.
The 10-episode comedy series will follow a loving (but immature) father who struggles to co-parent successfully with his ex-wife because he acts like such a kid himself. Marlon will star as the father, Essence will play the mother, and they have two children who will be played by Notlim Taylor and Amir O’Neil.
It definitely sounds like a "My Wife & Kids" type show (that starred Marlon's brother Damon Wayans) and we're here for it.
Bresha Webb, who starred in Marlon’s comedy flick Meet The Blacks, will also star in the comedy series.
Loretta Divine looks great. And it looks like she's been on the diet train. Get it.
The Hollywood veteran hit the carpet before hitting the panel to dish on the new season of “The Carmichael Show.” The season will kick off Wednesday, May 31st at 9pm EST.
Loretta's co-star Tiffany Haddish was also at the event to chat about it.
Sherri Shepherd is making a return to acting where she will play a highly dysfunctional character on the new NBC series “Trial & Error” that premiered last week.

Jennifer Lopez left her new beau Alex Rodriguez behind in Miami to get to work. And by work, we mean slaying in a black high slit Elie Saab haute couture dress.
The actress/singer/dancer is executive producing and starring as a judge the upcoming dance competition show “World of Dance” and she was on hand to let the media know what’s expected of the show.
As she made her way down the carpet, she snapped it up with her fellow judges Ne-Yo, Derek Hough and Jenna Dewan Tatum.
According to NBC, the series brings the world's elite dancers together to compete in epic battles of artistry, precision and athleticism. Solo artists compete against duos and crews in an unlimited range of dance, including hip-hop, krumping, popping, locking, tap, ballet, break dancing, ballroom, clogging, stomping and more.
