From Angela’s post:

Disney’s streaming service will include a cooking show called ‘Be Our Chef’ starring Angela Kinsey

As part of its plan to build a Netflix-esque streaming platform, Disney is producing a new cooking competition show that will feature families participating in food challenges at Walt Disney World. The new series, dubbed Be Our Chef, will land on Disney Plus during the first year of the service, which kicks off on November 12.

Hosted by Angela Kinsey, the actor who played Angela on The Office, the series will feature “families from diverse backgrounds” cooking in a competition that’s “positive and playful in tone,” according to a press release. Each episode will feature two families cooking dishes based on their own traditions and “the magic of Disney.” At the end of the competition, the finalists will be asked to “create a dish that represents their family through a Disney lens.”

While shows like Top Chef, Hell’s Kitchen, and the Great British Baking Show are perennially popular, the TV landscape is littered with competition series that never took off, including the Great American Baking Show, a program produced by Disney-owned network ABC. That series was plagued by casting and concept changes since its inception, and the sexual misconduct allegations against judge Johnny Iuzzini resulted in most of Season 3 getting pulled from the air. The streaming platform might be a better place for a new cooking competition, but at the end of the day, the success of Be Our Chef will likely depend on whether or not the producers can nail the format and/or offer something new to stand out from the rest of the pack.

In other Disney Plus news, the streaming platform will include a new nature show called Earthkeepers produced by Chef’s Table creator David Gelb and his frequent collaborator Brian McGinn, as well as a new series called The World According to Jeff Goldblum, where the Hollywood actor will explore various subjects of interest including, occasionally, food. And the service will also have a limited series called Forky Asks a Question, a new animated explainer show starring the spork character from the forthcoming movie Toy Story 4. Apparently, in one episode Forky will learn all about cheese.

These titles will join all the Star Wars movies, every Simpsons episode, the entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney classics from the vault, and a slew of new TV series and feature films. The service will cost subscribers $6.99 per month.

Angela discusses cats, an ‘Office’ reboot and pizza at UMD

Angela Kinsey knows about Pizza Kingdom.

When The Office star showed up in College Park the night before her Student Entertainment Event’s lecture, she was hungry. On her way to the parlor known for giant late-night slices, a rowdy group from the bar pointed her to Lotsa. Although her food search ended in trail mix at the hotel, at least one student snapped a photo with the 5″1′ actress known for playing the uptight, cat-loving, party-planner Angela Martin.

On March 1, Kinsey relived one of the happiest parts of her career as she spoke to a sold-out Grand Ballroom. And no, she’s not tired of talking about it.

“It makes me really proud that something we did all those years ago is still resonating with people,” she said before the show.

Hamburger Hummus

From Entertainment Weekly:

Shalom, Shamericans! Introducing Hamburger Hummus, a new web series directed by Jay Karas (Workaholics) that satirizes blogging culture and pokes fun at clueless Americans embarrassing themselves in foreign countries.

“Six Americans in Israel; one holy s—show,” the trailer teases. Jillian Bell, Betsy Newman, Paul Welsh, Angela Kinsey, Peter Gardner, and Marque Richardson star as culturally oblivious American bloggers visiting Tel Aviv for a conference. The pilot introduces them with the telling epithets, “The Hot Mess,” “The Teenage Crusader,” “The Techie,” and the trio of “The Mommy Blogger,” “The Paranoid Dad,” and “Their Baby.”

“Their interests across technology, beauty, environmentalism, and shameless one-night stands lead to a bounty of Clark Griswold-like, fish-out-of-water moments,” the series description reads, and episode titles like “Tech Aviv,” “#BlessedDayEver,” and the pilot, “Shalom Shamericans,” deliver on that promise. – Source

Hamburger Hummus launched Tuesday and all episodes are now available at HamburgerHummus.com!

From Deadline.com:

‘The Office’ alumna Angela Kinsey is set as a lead in ABC’s multi-camera comedy pilot ‘The 46 Percenters’. The casting stems from Kinsey’s collaboration with ABC earlier this development season on a buddy comedy project, which she co-wrote and was attached to star in. ‘The 46 Percenters’ is described as an unromantic romantic comedy about the 46% of the population who choose to stay married as told through the POV of three couples. Kinsey will play half of one of the couples, Marni, a wife and mother. Kinsey, repped by UTA, Link and Felker Toczek, will recur on TBS’ new comedy series ‘Your Family Or Mine’.
