“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:
