First Look At SMASH's 'The Producers', With Gifford & Carmello

NBC's musical drama series SMASH feautures a handful of well-known Broadway regulars acting as guest stars on this week's episode, with Daphne Rubin-Vega and Jesse L. Martin continuing their extended second-season arcs and Carolee Carmello and Kathie Lee Gifford making special appearances.

Of note, SMASH reportedly airs at a special time this week, Saturday at 9 PM.

The official synopsis of "The Producers" is as follows: "An off-the-rail Jimmy (Jeremy Jordan) threatens HIT LIST's future, as Karen (Katharine McPhee), Derek (Jack Davenport), Ana (Krysta Rodriguez) and Kyle (Andy Mientus) try to help him before something bad happens. Tom (Christian Borle) and Julia's (Debra Messing) partnership is strained to the breaking point just as Ivy (Megan Hilty), Eileen (Anjelica Huston), and the entire BOMBSHELL team are running themselves ragged to outshine the competition. Jeremy Jordan and Leslie Odom, Jr. also star. Kathie Lee Gifford and Jesse L. Martin guest star."
