Kaley zal op 12 september deelnemen aan een live-reading van de jaren-80 serie ‘Three’s Company’ om zo geld in te zamelen voor de The John Ritter Foundation. Al jaren lang ondersteund Kaley het goede doel dat is opgericht nadat haar haar tv-vader John Ritter uit ‘8 Simple Rules’ in 2003 overleed aan een aortadissectie. John zakte tijdens opnames van de serie 8 Simple Rules in elkaar en overleed later in het ziekenhuis.<\/p>\n
Laughter is calling for you once again on Friday night, Sept. 12, when top stars and original cast members of Three\u2019s Company hit the Sunset Room in Hollywood for a staged reading of the classic sitcom. It\u2019s the season seven episode \u201cGoing to Pot\u201d (from 1982), which centers around a misunderstanding, because, of course it does.<\/p>\n
The sold-out event (tickets ranged from $750 to $1,000) is part of the yearly fundraiser for The John Ritter Foundation, spearheaded by the comedy icon\u2019s widow, Amy Yasbeck. Adam Devine will be stepping into Ritter\u2019s role of Jack Tripper with Kaley Cuoco playing level-headed Janet Wood and Jason Alexander taking over for Don Knotts. They\u2019ll be joined by original cast members Priscilla Barnes as Terri Alden and Richard Kline, who returns as everyone\u2019s favorite wingman, Larry Dallas. The rest of the reading\u2019s eclectic cast features Steven Weber, Reno Wilson, Ron Funches, Holly Robinson Peete and Tom Bergeron.<\/p>\n

\nDirecting it all will be Dennis Dugan. As it happens, the frequent Adam Sandler played the role of matchmaker when he cast Yasbeck to play Ritter\u2019s wife in his 1990 comedy Problem Child. \u201cThey met in our living room for the first read-through and that was the first time they ever met,\u201d says Dugan. \u201cThey fell in love and got married, so I\u2019ve always had like a deep connection with both Ritter and Amy.\u201d<\/p>\nCuoco, who played Ritter\u2019s daughter on 8 Simple Rules, said \u201cJohn was one of my favorite people on Earth so I\u2019ll spend any moment I can to honor and remember him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jason Alexander comes in with a deep admiration for the late Ritter. \u201cJohn was an absolutely brilliant comedian. Frankly, he was a brilliant actor\u2026 and Knotts was a great example of \u2018Use what you\u2019ve got.\u2019 Knotts took that wide-eyed, wiry, fidgety frame and used it to create the great underdogs and pretenders. Ritter and Knotts were both singular performers and it\u2019s a joy to celebrate them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked to explain Three\u2019s Company\u2019s enduring appeal, almost fifty years after its premiere, Richard Kline has a theory: \u201cI think the reason is that the writers never tried to do anything that was topical, political or, in essence, really thought provoking. It has endured because it is an existential farce. The show has been marked as the show about misunderstandings, but basically that is the essence of farce.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yasbeck thinks Ritter would be amazed by the show\u2019s ongoing popularity. \u201cHe would be thrilled by it! He would light up anytime people came up to him to profess their love of the show and how much it meant to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perhaps Ron Funches had the simplest and best take about the show\u2019s longevity. \u201cIt is timeless. It has a profound rhythm and easy to understand stories. It also has the best sitcom theme song of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n
You can watch the reading LIVE from L.A. via livestream on Friday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. on the John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health website.<\/p>\n
Pluto TV \u2014 which has a dedicated channel for Three\u2019s Company that runs the show 24\/7 \u2014 will then host the event on demand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
