Fox holds its upfront presentation in New York City at a new location on Monday, with several high-profile guests and performers appearing. Jane Krakowski, host of Fox’s “Celebrity Name That Tune,” opens the event with a song-and-dance number and is joined in the performance by Jane Lynch, also a host of a Fox game show. Krakowski had performed a similar musical segment earlier the same day at NBCUniversal’s upfront event at Radio City Music Hall.
The program includes major celebrity and sports appearances, highlighted by Tom Brady, who takes part in the event. Lachlan Murdoch also appears, representing Fox leadership. James Corden returns to a late-night format setting in connection with the event’s coverage, and the cast of “Baywatch” is featured among the entertainment highlights. The two outlets’ reports emphasize the combination of game-show hosts, mainstream entertainment talent, and sports star appearances as Fox’s upfront lineup draw attention in the New York media market.
