Good Night New York full episode: November 10, 2026

Fox 5. It's time for a good night, New York. Yes, it is. Welcome here to the show. What's up? I'm Ryan Christopher. And I am Crystal Young. And of course, you know you're watching Good Night, New York. Okay, so let's talk about Veterans Day tomorrow. Let's do it. We're going to get a jump on things because tomorrow is really soon. So, Ryan, you had a chance this morning to spend a little time with those who served our country. I think that you were on a ship. I was. You got that right. And it's very humbling. I know you've been on various vessels as well. Now, I just want to let you know this is a ship. Inside of a ship that we're standing on right now, okay? What's the name of it? Well, we're on the USS San Antonio, but what you're looking at right there is then another amphibious vehicle that's actually in the underbelly of that ship. Just to put things into perspective, you see how giant this is. We were there with three various Marines today celebrating 251 years of the United States Marine Corps. Now, this right here, Crystal, this was really cool. These guys are the best of the best. They are members of the United States Navy Ceremonial Guard Drill Team, okay? They are one of the few that have been chosen to represent our country at various performances, just like this one, because we're celebrating Vets Week here, Veterans Week, in New York City. And then we had the band right there, and they sounded incredible, the United States Navy band as well. So it was great to chat with some of those hometown heroes as well. We had Brooklyn, Queens, Westchester County in the house as well. Nice, nice. So a little something for everybody. And actually, you can go there, well, they already had it today, but then again on Thursday, there are some free tours where you can actually go on the ship, the USS San Antonio, And check out the ecosystem, how it works, where they sleep, where they eat, all of it. It's interesting. And you were just mentioning, they are so polite. You walk around, everybody, sir, sir. I'm like, this is the first time I've been called sir in my life. I'm not sir, but thank you very much. I get a lot of ma'am. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, these guys are in town. They've been deployed for 14 months on two various tours. They were down in Venezuela, and now they're up here visiting New York City. So if you have a chance, go support our troops, our sailors on board, and the Marines as well. Meanwhile, one of the most well-known actors. Here's Denzel Washington. He's been in a few military films. Well, he is the latest big star to take his talents to a streamer of all places. Big, big star. We're talking about Netflix. So Netflix announced the Oscar winner will co-star with Robert Pattinson for the twisty, unconventional heist thriller. The movie is set to be released on Netflix on January 15th. An interesting trend of such a big name being... In a movie that will release directly to a streamer. Well, money talks, Crystal. It sure does. Yeah, it does. But when you think about it, Adam Sandler, he's got like a 10 movie deal with Netflix. So that's the way of the world right now. Do you think it's money talks and these people have so much money that they can just take a project? Because they like it, and it doesn't matter where it goes? I don't think that they care as much where it lives, right? Because it's like people are going to watch it in a theater sometimes, in streamer films, if it's really good, it gets released in theaters. So I think, hey, make good art, see what happens with it. But enough with Robert Pattinson. They're already saying that he might be the next James Bond. He's already Batman. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's like, he just screen tested to play Bond. He needs to bulk up, though. No? That he does. At least you said it, not me. I don't know, Bond needs to be tall and look like he could grab you by the throat, but he won't, but he could. Well, you could watch Tenet. He's throwing some dudes around in there. But you did say that Callum Turner, his ears were too big to play James Bond. Now you're saying Robert Pattinson's too skinny? Yes. Anybody on the list that you do like? I got to think about it. Okay, well, you keep thinking, girl. Someone tall, big, with small ears. Oh, okay. My mother used to say, you have small ears, so you're stingy, you try to pretend like you can't hear me when I ask for things. Ah, I gotcha, I gotcha. Clean your room. I was like, what? Oh, sorry, I can't hear you. What? Give me half that pizza. What? Yeah, what? No, I'll take the full slice. All right. Meanwhile, earlier today, it was announced one of the most iconic movies now coming to Broadway with a recognizable face as the role of the kid. Here we go. You'd have to be crazy to do this. Wow. Wow. Wow. So that was Broadway veteran Jordan Fisher. He's going to play the title role of the kid who Prince made famous in the 1984 film Purple Rain. Previews will start on March 12th. I cannot wait. 2027. It officially opens on April 12th. 2027. I feel like this is going to be a hit. Of the ilk of like an MJ, the musical. It's just a shame that Prince is not alive to see this whole story come to Broadway. To play the purple one. That would be cool. And Jordan Fisher is such an absolute star. I chatted with him when he was in Hadestown. Yeah, I was just going to say, what has he been in? Yeah, so he's been in Hadestown. He made his big debut in Dear Evan Hansen. That's the role where he really took off on Broadway. And I saw both of those. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. And now he's taking on this role. I mean, he looks the part of Prince. He does. He's a very talented musician as well. He's a dad. He had the heels. He had the heels. And I mean, you got to be able to... Is he kind of smallish, though? You know, because Prince wasn't a big guy, so I feel like you have to look the part from head to toe. Listen, he's not Andre the Giant. I'm obsessed with size, right? Clearly. Why is the camera just on me while Crystal's the size queen over here? You know, we get it. Okay, yeah, back to her. Okay. What do you want to say about Jordan Fisher being small? No, I just want to say that he needs to have the right body type to fit Prince because Prince was small. Yaddy, yaddy, yaddy, yaddy. I think he's got it. No, he's like the perfect body type. All right, it sounds weird. He definitely has it in the face department. He does. And he's got it in the fingers, the purple ring. Watch out for that guitar. All right, but that'll be cool. Jordan Fisher coming back to Broadway. Do you think he can play 25 other instruments, though, like Prince? No, I doubt it. Prince can play close to 30 instruments. That's crazy. I actually talked to one of Prince's audio engineers once, and he says that Prince was so particular about the way that the wires were wrapped around the mics. Like, if you didn't wrap the wire right, he would ream you out. Oh, he was not feeling it. So he was so particular, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Practice makes perfect. He was a perfectionist. He was, and it certainly paid off. All right, but coming up next, let's keep talking about Broadway, shall we? In particular, Chicago on Broadway. Our next guest, she was one of the stars of Chicago on Broadway, but you might know her from another TV show. That's right. You may know her from The Office. We're talking about Melora Harden. She's going to join us from Good Night, New York, anytime. Okay, our next guest is making me smile, Melora Harden. She's been acting since she was a kid. She has appeared in more than 70 film and television roles, so many of them that I know you've heard of. Most notably, though, her memorable role was that of Jan Levinson in the NBC series The Office. That's right. Let's call Michael Scott. But first, her latest role is in the historical drama set all the way back during the Revolutionary War. And it's a musical called Drummer Boy, just in time for the holidays, which is currently in theaters. We welcome Melora here to Goodnight, New York. You're looking lovely. You're talking about the shoes. Yeah, I mean, the shoes are cool. I put on a little puff, a little puff. Just a little something, something. But just everything. You got a little puff. You got a little swing. Thank you. A little something. Come through, Melora. Watch out, watch out. We appreciate it. Spicy. Okay. And we match. Yeah, no, you two are clearly going somewhere fabulous. We got the note. I might be driving the car. I'm driving the car. No, you look good. Yeah, right, right. You look fabulous. I think y'all are Miss Daisy, and I'm driving. We're driving, okay. No, we'll drive you. It's all good, it's all good. That's what you're going to do. She's turned up. We'll meet you there later. All right, Janet Jackson. All right. All right. Drummer boy, though. Yes. This is so cool. And you get to show off your pipes a little bit. Yeah, I do. So what was this like for you? Of course, everybody loves you from The Office and all your other roles. But how fun is it for you to be able to sing on camera? So, so fun. I mean, I've been on Broadway singing, and I do have three records of songs that I wrote, a lot of them, and some covers, too. So I am musical, but I had never done a musical movie. And I thought, I really want to do a movie where you have an emotional moment, and you Speaking is just merely not enough, so you must sing, and that's a wonderful, wonderful thing about this. This is such a beautiful, fun movie. I mean, it really is, it's something for all generations. You can go with your grandparents, you can go with your kids, you know, take everybody and really go see this in the theater, because it's got that epic feeling, beautiful cinematography, just... Gorgeous music, get the best sound you can get, get Dolby, get Atmos, and really, really experience this film. And the costumes, too. And the costumes are gorgeous. So it's set during the Revolutionary War, right? Yes, the American Revolutionary War, that's right. And so the music is epic. The music is epic. I mean, it's modern. The music is modern, whereas the tale is set in the past, obviously. But the story and the theme is really very current. It's very modern. It's about one brother that goes to the Bluecoats, one brother that goes to the Redcoats, and what that does to the family, and how... My character is the mother of the two sons, and Rachel Clem is just very, she's really Committed to her undying love for both boys did you know yeah, yeah, not really caring really I mean caring a lot about them But but not but not really being divided in her love for them Yeah, and I think that's a wonderful message for everyone in our in our world today You know this idea of sort of having empathy and trying to see All sides of the issue and loving people through their differences. And playing a mom here in the film, you're also a proud mom. Your daughter, she's an up-and-coming actress here in New York City as well. How proud are you of her? And what's it like for the two of you just talking shop? Yeah, well, I have two daughters and one is an actress living here in New York. And I live in Los Angeles. And she's wonderful and so talented. Actually, she has a film coming out next year. So maybe she'll come and chat with you guys. Do it, come on. As long as she has cool heels like you. She's got to bring the style of shoes. She's got to bring her fluffy shoes. Literally, to step it up. She's got great style. You guys would not be disappointed. Just like mom. Just like mom. Good. She set the bar high, though. Yes, that's right. If the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Yeah. And my younger daughter is a singer-songwriter, so maybe you'll have her on sometime when she gets her first record. I want to know, out of all of your roles, you've had so many, but is there one that is always going to make you, like, bring a smile? You know what? They all do. I mean, for all for different reasons, everything is really, is really wonderful. And I really am so fortunate that I've had such a long career. I started acting professionally at six years old. And I've been able to move through all those phases of my life. And I'm really grateful. And Drummer Boy is a whole new phase. It's a whole new thing. And beautiful, beautiful songs. Wonderful, wonderful story. It will make people feel so good when they leave the theater. Oh, we need that. And we need that. And we need a reason to get out into the theater, too. Yes, yes. From my perspective. Go get in the theater because it's a different experience when you see it on a big screen, right? And you go out to dinner and you talk about it afterwards. And you see it in community. You get to really feel what the movie's about. Exactly. Congratulations. Laura, have a safe trip back to L.A. And thanks for hanging out with us on Good Night, New York. Thank you. Come back any time. You guys are great. All right. And we'll coordinate our colors again. Yes. Since we had so much fun with Miss Melora Harden from The Office, she famously played Jan. Today's Trivia Tuesday is going to be all about 2000s sitcoms. So play it home with us and may the best man win. Yes. So Ryan, I hope you're ready. I'm ready. Because the first question is coming your way. Okay, let's do it. So The Office was a workplace comedy that took place at the fictitious paper company Dunder Mifflin. Where did the show take place? Was it New York? New York. Nope. Scranton, Pennsylvania, Stanford, Connecticut, or Montclair, New Jersey? Well, Montclair is the hometown of our great producer, Moses Messina, so it's not New York, New York. And Stanford, they just have a bunch of medical pharmaceutical companies, and I know for sure it's Scranton, PA. Okay! And you are correct. Hey, look at that. That's right. All right. I know for sure. You know when you say things like for sure, you've got to be for sure. You better be right. Yeah, you better. Otherwise, you're made. No other thing to be but correct. All right. And we are correct. Okay. Yeah, Scram, Pennsylvania. Question number two for you. Here we go. Arrested Development, it was a sitcom that ran for three seasons right here on Fox 5, later streamed on Netflix for two additional seasons. Now, the series revolved around the family, but the narrator of the series was another sitcom legend. Was it A, Henry Winkler, B, Ted Danson, C, Ron Howard, or D? Now, I never watch one episode of Arrested Development, despite the fact that it was huge, but I feel like I'm going with Ron Howard, and I don't know why. You know why I think you're picking Ron Howard? Because I'm right? Well, because when you don't know the answers on the quiz, you just pick C, and C is correct! How do you like that? So, the former Happy Days star, he served as the narrator for the series. His production company, Imagine Television, was actually behind the creation of that very sitcom. So, congratulations. I did not know that. Okay, okay. Okay, so we're moving right along. That means you get the next question. In the sitcom, it's always sunny in Philadelphia. The characters own what? An establishment? A she-shine place? I'm kidding. Is it a restaurant, a gas station, a bowling alley, or D, a bar? D, a bar. Yeah? Because it's always on in the background, and they're always at the bar. Okay. And I think that you would be correct. The answer is D. The gang owns a bar. It's called Patty's Pub. So an Irish pub? It looks like a real dive bar. It does. In the show. It looks like it might smell like beer. Yeah, like stale beer, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. You got the final question here. Okay. Wow, we're like undefeated right now, but the sitcom, this one's kind of tough. The sitcom Modern Family ran for 11 seasons and one of the stars of the show, famously Ed O'Neill, who played Al Bundy in Married with Children. So which sitcom ran longer? Was it Modern Family or Married with Children? This is a tough one, Crystal. This is a tough one. I feel like Married with Children just felt like it was on a long time. So I'm just going to go with Married. Married with Children. I like your first instinct because Married with Children technically did run longer because both shows, they ran for 11 seasons, but Married with Children had 259 episodes, while Modern Family only had 250 episodes. So nine more. episode. That is crazy. How you like that? Okay, 11 seasons both. How you like that? Wow, and were we four for four? Yes, that's a TV eternity. For the first time ever. The champs are here. Yeah. All right, first time ever. Wow, it only took us two years. Okay. Well, glad we finally made it. Hopefully you guys had fun playing a little Trivia Tuesday with us, and coming up here on Good Night New York, we're going to stick with the theme of sitcoms, and we're mixing it in with... Oh, what do we mean, you say? Well, Mary Tyler Moore-inspired clothing is back in style again. We're going to tell you where you can find it when Good Night, New York comes right back. Oh, 70s. All right. If you were a young woman in the 1970s, let's throw it back. There's a good chance you wanted to maybe be Mary Tyler Moore when you grew up. Look at these photos. I mean, this is like Crystal Young style. Oh, look at that. Wait, hold on. Yeah. Yes. Work it, work it. Yes. Mary was definitely an icon. And now you can get her look because there is a store called Francis Valentine. You can get it online or go to Madison Avenue. And they have a Mary Tyler Moore collection. It is celebrating all things 70s, hence. I have the turtleneck and the wide-leg pants and the jammed feet ball. I can throw it. Throw it up, throw it up, but can you catch it? I'm going to practice, and you're going to watch this. The 70s were a defining decade for the women's rights movement. With women entering the labor force, enter the Mary Tyler Moore Show. The groundbreaking series featured a 30-something single woman moving to Minneapolis to work at a TV station. Almost half a century later, fashion brand Frances Valentine is paying homage to the iconic actress and show with a 20-piece capsule collection. The looks perfectly capture Mary's 70s busy girl in the big city fashions. Millions of women wanted to be her. They wanted to dress like her. And guess what? Now you can. Frances Valentine has you covered with the outfits, the accessories, the entire Mary vibe. You know who knows all about it? This woman waiting in the wings knows all about it, Elise Ahrens. This had to be exciting to bring this to life. It was a dream come true, honestly. I had grown up watching Mary Tyler Moore, and she really inspired me to go to journalism school. And that's how I met Katie Spade, because we were both majoring in journalism. I love that. And so, to have the Vision Initiative call us and say, we want you to design a collection for Mary Tyler Moore, I was like, no way, this is amazing. Really a dream come true. It's always nice when you can see pieces on the human body and see how they flow. So why don't we have our first model come out and then you let me know what she has on. That is a cute one piece. Yes. So Miranda is wearing the go-go dress and it's got a zip front. It is such a perfect dress and the cute Mary loafers because Mary wore loafers often. She did. They are wonderful. But this dress is so perfectly Mary because she wore a lot of dresses like this. So now we have another model coming out. Maggie is wearing this darling shift dress that we created and it's belted at the waist. It's got a zip back, but it's got a higher collar on it, and we've chosen today to add a turtleneck underneath it because Mary was famous for her turtleneck. She was. Now we have a little sparkle and shine. Va va voom. Yes. This is Virginia. And this dress harkens back to Mary's early career because when she was in Thoroughly Modern Millie, she went to an awards ceremony and she wore this dress. Many of the pieces are made to go together, like this wool pleated skirt that goes with this coat. Or you can wear the coat over a solid color like our next model does. Now the skirt takes center stage. It's not too short, it's right at the knee, and it's really a traditional pleated plaid skirt. It is beautiful. And as you know, Mary often wore that slung belt down kind of sideways, so we made the belt. I like that. And it's got all the holes in it, so just about any size can wear that belt, which is great. Yes. And our last outfit? So this is a Laura Petri look. When she was Laura Petrie on the Dick Van Dyke show, there's a famous scene where she's dancing in the living room, and we remade her whole outfit, which is the sweater, although we put our own little spin with buttons down the back because it's very Frances Valentine. These are the cigarette pants that we call the Petrie Pants. Okay. And they are a stretch cigarette pant. They are so attractive on everyone. And then down to the little pointed ballet flats that Mary wore in that dance. The Mary Tyler Moore Show aired from 1970 to 1977. Almost half a century later, the actress and her groundbreaking portrayal of a single working woman continues to resonate with a new generation. There's only one way to celebrate a Frances Valentine Mary Tyler Moore collection. You guessed it, with a hat toss. All right, and now time for Crystal's big reveal. She's got her hacky sack hat. Let's go. Show them what you're made of, Crystal. All right, this is a tam with a little pom-pom. Okay, let's see. Okay. Oh, that was so good. I had to lean back in. I still got it. But hold on. Can she do it twice? Yeah, but can you put it on your head, though? Yes, I can. No, no, no. Throw it up and then put it on your head all in one. Come on. You got to elevate. All right. You have a lot of confidence in me. Okay, hold on. This is the 70s. You got to upgrade. Okay, we're going to toss it up. Can you kick it? Oh! I cannot. Yeah, she can. But hold on. We're going to end like this. All right. All right, now we got the swag going. All right, all right. Give us a little something, something. All right, Crystal's gonna keep on modeling. Are you Ted Grant? We'll have more Good Night, New York when we return. Work it, y'all. All right, work it, work it. All right. Ha ha ha! All right, welcome back. We were just talking about childbirth during the break, so glad we can get back to the TV show and stop talking about that. So it was a fun show tonight. It was a fun show. It was a lot of, a little bit of everything. Does that even make sense? We had Melora. We had Sitcom Trivia Tuesday. We did. Mary Tyler Moore fashions. A little bit of everything. You guys got to come back tomorrow. Come back tomorrow. We'll still be here. Hopefully you will be as well. For now, I'm Ryan Christopher. And I'm Crystal Young. Please make it up. Good night, New York. Let's get it. That's right. Get up over that couch.
