First Look: Priyanka Chopra, Joel McHale Appear On ABC’s August 17 “Gong Show”
Priyanka Chopra, Joel McHale and Wendi McLendon-Covey will judge the August 17 acts.
“Quantico” does not return until midseason, but fans will not have to wait until then to see star Priyanka Chopra on ABC television.
Chopra will appear as a celebrity judge on the August 17 “Gong Show.”
Chopra judges alongside Joel McHale and Wendi McLendon-Covey.
“Tonight’s acts include human bowling while a band performs a song, teenage twins impersonating President Trump and Vice President Pence, a competitive cupcake eater devouring the sumptuous treats, and a duo performing acrobatics while playing the ukulele,” says ABC of the acts they will be evaluating.
Ahead of the broadcast, ABC shared first look photos from the taping:
