While filling my Thursday night addiction of “The Office” I saw a commercial for a new show called “Who Do You Think You Are” which featured Sarah Jessica Parker. In the commercial they mention something about her discovering that she had a distant relative who was part of the Salem Witch Trials. So this intrigued me and I went and took a look to see what this was all about. It’s a show that is modeled after a British show (wow, surprise!) where celebrities get to explore their family tree and discover if there is anything interesting in their past.
The show will air on NBC and will debut on March 5th. There will be 7 episodes (each an hour long) featuring the following celebrities (in order): Lisa Kudrow, Susan Sarandon, Emmitt Smith, Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker, Brooke Shields and Spike Lee. You can visit the show’s official website for full details and you can look here to see a preview clip of the show (not the one that I saw specifically about Sarah Jessica Parker however).
