As we previously mentioned, Fox is butchering making an American version of beloved British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, the gay classic telling the sordid tales of Patsy and Edina.
Well, now Variety is reporting that Kristen Johnston is close to signing on to star in the show.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing????
The actress has won Emmys for her role on ’90s sitcom 3rd Rock From the Sun.
Johnston table-read for the Fox execs on Friday. Shortly after they decided to pick up the American AbFab for a pilot. That doesn’t guarantee the show will make it to the air or that Kristen will be in it.
Oh, yeah, and we buried the lead! Johnston would be playing the part of Edina (Jennifer Saunders’ character).
Thoughts?????
Whom would U like to see playing those iconic roles?????
We vote for Megan Mulally (Edie) and Faye Dunaway (Pats)!!!!!!!
