Ziggy Marley and Andra Day per form in Saturday’s new CBS concer t special “Play On: Celebrating the Power of Music to Make Change.”
While he may be better known for making movies, Kevin Bacon also makes music.
Partnered melodically with sibling Michael as the Bacon Brothers, the veteran of such films as “Footloose” and “Apollo 13” combines his love of song with his philanthropy as a co-host (with Eve) and executive producer of “Play On: Celebrating the Power of Music to Make Change,” a CBS concert special airing Saturday, Dec. 5. A wide-ranging lineup of artists performs from three cities to raise funds (through Bacon’s SixDegrees.org initiative) to benefit WhyHunger and the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc.
“ There’s a yearly fundraiser in New York called Love Rocks NYC,” Bacon explains of aligning with its producers for the “Play On” hour, “and the Bacon Brothers played it one year, then I went back and did some announcing for it. (Those organizers) came up with the idea of doing
a television event in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, tr ying to put music out there and raise money for some good causes. ”
Bringing it to fruition as “Play On” has been “ver y, ver y challenging,” allows Bacon, “and the fact that it’s coming together gives us all a great sense of satisfaction.” The event’s executive producers also include LL Cool J and “CBS This Morning” co-anchor (and music buff ) Anthony Mason.
Bon Jovi, Maren Morris, Sher yl Crow, Yola (backed by The Highwomen), Snoop Dogg, Ziggy Marley, Andra Day, Gar y Clark Jr. and Jon Batiste are among talents the special showcases at three legendar y sites: New York’s Apollo Theater, Los Angeles’ Troubadour and Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe. Bacon notes such venues “have been hurting” during the pandemic: “I’ve played at two of them and been to all three, so we’re highlighting them as well.”
Sandra Lee of holiday-season homemaking segments on Lifetime
“I watch a lot of documentaries. I like watching how people live their lives. I’ve really been looking for ward to ‘The Crown’ coming back, too.”
Bacon currently is at work on the second season of the Boston-based Showtime drama series “City on a Hill,” while wife Kyra Sedgwick is on the opposite coast filming her upcoming ABC sitcom “Call Your Mother.” Also with movie projects lined up as either an actor or a director, Bacon says he’s glad to get back to business, though he realizes these uncertain times could put another halt to that at any point.
For the moment, though, Bacon maintains that “Play On” is “a show that I would be front-and-center for even if I had nothing to do with it. I would watch it live, I would put it on my DVR – even before this pandemic, I didn’t feel there was enough live music on television. I grew up watching ‘Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert’ and ‘ The Midnight Special’ and, later on, ‘Austin City Limits.’ Here, you’ll see great performances and the music will be really strong, and that’s important to us. ”
Patrick Duffy of “People Presents: Once Upon a Main Street” on Lifetime
“I must tell you that ‘Breaking Bad’ was a game-changer for me, in terms of my hopes for television as an industr y. It had been going in a certain direction for quite a while, and when I saw ‘Breaking Bad’ –not just the performances, but the concept of the show, and the hubris – it was remarkable. They constructed one of the most beautifully assembled shows that I have seen in a long, long time.”

If Sandra Lee isn’t quite as visible as Santa Claus this season, she still may run a close second.
The lifestyle expert has a new television home for the holidays: Lifetime, where she’s offering baking and decorating tips while also introducing new, seasonal movies through Christmas. One of the main challenges for the Food Network veteran is to fit her information into one-minute segments, but she’s embracing it and – as a self-professed fan of Lifetime’s programming – enjoying it.
“They probably are one of the most relevant, if not the most relevant, (networks) in creating holiday movies for their audience,” Lee says. “They are at the forefront of being inclusive and leaning into diversity, which I think is important. We’re all represented, and that’s what entertainment really needs to be about, the greater collective.”
Some of Lee’s Lifetime segments are tied to specific films premiering under the “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” umbrella. “Kelly Rowland has her sequel ‘Merry Little Christmas Wedding,’ and I have something very sweet for that,” Lee explains. “I actually had intended it for just general celebration, and when I thought it through, I was like, ‘No, this is perfect for a wedding.”
The deal between Lee and Lifetime was born last year when, she recalls, “I ran into that team at a big event in Los Angeles. (A&E Networks communications executive) Michael Feeney said to me, ‘I can’t believe you’re standing here in front of me. Your name has just come up in the last monthand-a-half We want you to be part of the family and do these vignettes.’ ”

“Moving into the new year,” adds Lee, “I’m just looking forward to starting over, having survived breast cancer and having changed my personal life so dramatically. Obviously, I’ll always do what I do, but being so specifically focused on food is not really utilizing all the talents God gave me. I’m not great at everything, but I want to go back into crafting and gardening. I look forward to rebuilding my own house, which means my career and my purpose. ”

The celebrated explorer Sir Richard Shackleton led a 1914 expedition to Antarctica, but not long after his team arrived, their ship The Endurance was destroyed by the encroaching polar ice. Shackleton’s subsequent attempt to lead his 27 men to safety across the frozen tundra became an epic struggle of survival that remains inspiring today. More than a century later, however, his celebrated ship remains lost, its final resting place one of the world’s greatest polar mysteries. Laurence Fishburne narrates the new episode “Endurance: The Hunt for Shackleton’s Ice Ship.”
