- America’s Funniest People will premiere November 16 with two episodes at 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. ET/PT and continue with two new episodes in those slots each week.
- Deadline is offering the first-look America’s Funniest People trailer ahead of the November 16 premiere.
- Ms. Pat says the show is “a real clip show with a whole lot of Ms. Pat in it”; three creator-led contestants face off for a cash prize.
- VH1 says the series offers a “louder, wilder, and more unfiltered take,” featuring outrageous jokes, stunts, pranks, questionable decisions and viral moments.
- BET Studios has Williams-Lee under a new deal spanning producing, writing and performing across BET and Paramount platforms, with her hosting role expanding her Paramount relationship.
- The Ms. Pat Show returns to BET for season six, alongside season four of Ms. Pat Settles It.
- V10 Entertainment, the parent of Vin Di Bona Productions, produces the series; Williams-Lee, John Stevens, Carter Skeath and Rick De Oliveira are executive producers, and Saterah Moore is co-executive producer.
Why it matters: For Williams-Lee, the Nov. 16 launch adds a visible VH1 hosting role alongside her new BET Studios deal, while two episodes a week give the competition a recurring schedule. The same announcement pairs that launch with season six of The Ms. Pat Show and season four of Ms. Pat Settles It, extending her on-screen presence across VH1 and BET.
