Following Investigation, AMC Has Reinstated Chris Hardwick as the Host of “Talking Dead”
Just about a week after we learned that frequent guest Yvette Nicole Brown had taken over as host of “Talking Dead” in the wake of AMC letting Chris Hardwick go, Deadline is now reporting that AMC has cleared Hardwick and reinstated him as the show’s host.
Hardwick had been canned by AMC in the wake of sexual assault and abuse allegations from ex-girlfriend Chole Dykstra last month, which had been under review by AMC.
“Following a comprehensive assessment by AMC, working with Ivy Kagan Bierman of the firm Loeb & Loeb, who has considerable experience in this area, Chris Hardwick will return to AMC as the host of Talking Dead and Talking with Chris Hardwick,” AMC announced today. “We take these matters very seriously and given the information available to us after a very careful review, including interviews with numerous individuals, we believe returning Chris to work is the appropriate step.”
Hardwick is expected to return to “Talking Dead” for its August 12 premiere, following the Season 4B premiere of “Fear the Walking Dead.”
The back half of “Chucky” Season 3 will bring three more episodes to the table in the coming weeks, with “Panic Room” (Season 3, Episode 6) set to air this Wednesday, April 17.
SYFY has provided us with a sneak peek clip from the new episode this afternoon, wherein a wheelchair-bound Chucky shares his renewal of purpose with Henry. Check it out below.
“Everyone dies, kid. Some of us more than once. But I realize now, the point is, to make a difference while we’re here. To leave a mark,” a wheezing, coughing Chucky explains to Henry.
In the mid-season premiere last week, a dying Chucky placed a call to an imprisoned Tiffany, wherein Tiffany encouraged the killer doll to go out in a blaze of glory. That advice is sure to make these final three episodes of “Chucky” Season 3 quite explosive, as Chucky has nothing left to lose. And he wants to remind the world that he’s the greatest serial killer of all time.
But is old age really going to be the thing that kills off Chucky once and for all? Or will he ultimately find a way to defeat death one more time? We’ll find out in the coming weeks…
Watch new episodes of “Chucky” on Wednesdays at 10/9c on SYFY and USA Network. If you miss them when they premiere, new episodes will be streaming on Peacock on Thursdays.
