Josh Groban News

I grew up watching the MUPPET BABIES, loving the whimsy of the odd, but relatable creatures (although always frustrated that we couldn't see Nanny's face). Then, MUPPETS TONIGHT debuted during my freshman year of high school and I started to really understand the joys of a variety show (only later for that to be enhanced by finding clips of THE MUPPET SHOW on YouTube). Also, I adored 2011's big screen THE MUPPETS; in fact “Man or Muppet” is still in heavy rotation on my iTunes. So anytime there is a new addition to the Muppets Universe, my inner-child takes notice. However, as details of their new TV show (also confusingly called THE MUPPETS) started being revealed, that inner child began to feel left out. The idea was to reinvent the Muppets in a more real-life, adult sitcom; yes, a real-life, adult sitcom, starring felt puppets.

Josh Groban hat als genialer Grenzgänger zwischen Pop, Folk, Jazz und Klassik seinen eigenen Stil popularisiert. Mehr als 30 Millionen verkaufter CDs, spektakuläre Tourneen, Auftritte beim Superbowl, der Oscar-Verleihung und den Olympischen Winterspielen haben den 34-jährigen Kalifornier weltweit bekannt gemacht. Groban lenkte auch als Schauspieler in dem Blockbuster „Crazy, Stupid, Love' die Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Mit „Coffee Town' und „Muppets Most Wanted' folgten zwei weitere Spielfilme. In den USA und Kanada erreichten seine CD stets die Spitzen der Hitlisten. So sein siebtes, aktuelles Studioalbum „Stages', das sämtliche Voraussetzungen für einen weltweiten Charterfolg besitzt. Am 10. und 11. Mai gibt der als globaler Popstar gefeierte Josh Groban zwei ausgewählte Konzerte in Berlin und Frankfurt.

Dapper, debonair and devastatingly quick-witted, Alexander Armstrong is instantly recognisable - as much for his perfectly enunciated voice as his impeccably groomed appearance.

Then in 2009, on the back of his success as a regular guest host on "Have I Got News For You", he was offered a permanent role as the host of BBC1's "Pointless".
