Daytime TV can be a mixed bag. One minute you’re getting helpful life hacks, the next you’re watching a cooking segment that makes you question all your culinary choices. So, what’s worth your time on GMA3: What You Need to Know this week? Here’s the rundown, avoiding any hint of hyperbole or manufactured excitement.
Monday, November 25 kicks things off with Dwayne Johnson, plugging Moana 2. Viewers can also expect an appearance from Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, offering some presumably non-controversial pronouncements. For those looking to spice up their holiday gatherings, cookbook authors Laura Klynstra and Mumtaz Mustafa will be sharing tidbits from “Gather and Graze,” a tome dedicated to globally inspired small bites and tablescapes. And because no week of daytime television is complete without a theatrical tie-in, ABC News contributor Will Ganss will be talking about “Wicked” and “Gladiator II.”
Tuesday, November 26, brings us Countess Luann de Lesseps discussing her latest cabaret tour. For the more practically minded, Travel + Leisure Editor-in-Chief Jacqui Gifford will unveil her list of top 50 travel destinations – just don’t blame GMA3 if you can’t afford to visit any of them. Actress Mira Sorvino will also appear.
Those hoping for more tangible benefits can tune in on Wednesday, November 27, for the Deals & Steals Power Hour. E-commerce editor Tory Johnson will present an assortment of gift ideas, from tech gadgets to stocking stuffers for under $20. It’s retail therapy masquerading as helpful holiday advice, so prepare your wallets accordingly.
Thursday, November 28, turns to music, celebrating Black voices in country music with Don Louis and The War And Treaty. This “Roots & Rhythms” segment should offer a welcome change of pace from the usual lifestyle fare.
Friday, November 29: Nothing to see here. Preempted. Go outside, touch grass.
GMA3: What You Need To Know airs weekdays at 1:00 p.m. EST/12:00 p.m. CST on ABC.
