Good Morning America: Angelina Jolie, Jaleel White (ABC, Thursday, November 21, 2024)

Good Morning America

This Thursday’s “Good Morning America” offers a mix of entertainment news, celebrity interviews, and a milestone celebration. Lara Spencer will recap the highlights from the Country Music Association Awards, likely touching on the big winners, memorable performances, and any unexpected moments.

Shifting from country music to opera, Angelina Jolie discusses her role as Maria Callas in the new Netflix biopic “Maria.” Directed by Pablo Larraín, the film focuses on the final days of the iconic opera singer. It will be interesting to hear Jolie’s perspective on portraying such a legendary figure, and whether Larraín’s approach follows his previous biographical work in films like “Jackie” and “Spencer.”

In a lighter segment, “GMA” will celebrate e-commerce editor Tory Johnson’s 20th anniversary with the show. Expect a look back at Johnson’s contributions, possibly featuring clips from past segments and congratulatory messages from colleagues.

Finally, actor Jaleel White joins “Good Morning America” to talk about his memoir, “Growing Up Urkel.” The book details White’s experiences playing the iconic Steve Urkel on “Family Matters” and his life beyond the sitcom. Given Urkel’s lasting pop culture impact, White’s reflections on the character and its impact on his life should be noteworthy.
