Apple TV+’s The Morning Show will kick off the annual TV celebration with a screening and conversation with stars and executive producers Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, with additional participants TBA. It will be followed by series including Loki (April 13), Young Sheldon (April 14), the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender (April 14), Late Night With Seth Meyers (April 15) celebrating its 10th anniversary, Curb Your Enthusiasm (April 18), Family Guy, celebrating its 25th anniversary with a live table read, and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (April 20).

Paley Foundation for their generous and continued support of PaleyFest LA.” 

“The Curb cast and I are looking forward to seeing you all at PaleyFest! Just a heads up, I may not sound like myself. Since shooting ended I’ve been passing the time by playing the Jew’s harp, which has damaged my teeth and given me a pronounced lisp. I have ordered special dentures from Estonia, but they may not arrive in time. Fingers crossed. In any event, see you there,” said Larry David.

The Paley Center said its members and Citi cardmembers will have access to advance ticket sales starting tomorrow, January 30. More info here.
