Archana Puran Singh recently opened up about one of her co-stars from her first TV show, Mr Ya Mrs , in an interview with ETimes TV. The actress revealed that he discouraged her as an actor and she could not do comedy for a long time after that experience. Archana shared, "I feel it is very important to motivate a new performer on stage. Even when a child recites poetry and if you don't applaud him or her, he starts feeling a bit diffident. Similarly, when I sit on the judge's seat, I feel motherly towards every contestant and a little bit of motivation in the form of laughter does help the contestant perform. I remember in the 80s I did a show Mr Ya Mrs and I had to perform a comic scene and one of the actors said I did not know how to do comedy." She went on to add, "He felt making certain expressions was not comedy. And after that for a long time I could not do comedy because I used to feel diffident thinking I will not be able to make anyone … [Read more...] about Archana Puran Singh Reveals Her Co-Star Criticised Her Comedy Skills On Sets Of Her First TV Show

ABC has passed on its half-hour pilot Josep , starring comedian Jo Koy . While ABC is not proceeding with the existing pilot, the network brass want to get a comedy headlined by Koy on the air. The hope is to redevelop the idea, which is built around Koy playing a character loosely based on himself. It is too early to say whether that will happen and whether the current creative team will remain involved but the intent is to stay in business with Koy. The 20th TV-produced Josep, which is said to have had funny moments but didn’t quite deliver as a whole, followed the comedian as a recently divorced Filipino American nurse attempting to navigate dating, fatherhood and a very Filipino mother who loves to “help.” Steve Joe, Randall Park and Michael Golamco were the writers-executive producers. Josep also was exec produced by Melvin Mar, who has been the driver of the project, Kourtney Kang, Jake Kasdan, Hieu Ho, Koy and his manager Joe Meloche. … [Read more...] about ‘Josep’ Comedy Pilot Not Going Forward, ABC Hopes To Redevelop Project Starring Jo Koy
