Daytime TV is about to get uplifted this summer. FOX Television Stations and Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution will debut a three-week daily preview of THE PREACHERS, an all-new take on the popular panel talk show format from Telepictures Productions that features four dynamic and outspoken preachers who are known for their electrifying and unique takes on pop culture, news events and spirituality. The series will premiere July 11 on FOX-owned stations in New York and Los Angeles, with additional select stations and markets to be announced in the future. The announcement was made jointly today by Frank Cicha, Senior Vice President of Programming, FOX Television Stations, and Ken Werner, President, Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
"The Preachers" will be executive produced by Emmy® Award winner Bill Geddie, marking the return to daytime TV for the co-creator and longtime executive producer of "The View" for 17 seasons. Jeff Gaspin and Andrew Glassman will also serve as executive producers. The show will be produced by Telepictures. "After 'The View,' I figured I'd never do another panel show, but these preachers knocked me off my feet," said Geddie. "They're not just another set of talking heads yakking about the events of the day; they bring real-world experience as pastors and counselors. They have a unique spiritual take on things, and they're funny as hell...I mean, heck!" "The Preachers" will be hosted by: · John Gray, a gifted musician and Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church in Houston, under the leadership of Pastor Joel Osteen; · Dr. E. Dewey Smith, Jr., Senior Pastor/Teacher at The House of Hope Atlanta and The House of Hope Macon (GA), whose television broadcasts and media ministries are viewed by millions around the world;
