Cable

Oscar winners spice up TCA press tour

Posted on Fri Jul 31 2009

Robin-whoopi

It isn't always that I get to enjoy both the network and cable portion of the Television Critics Association press tour, but day two of the cable portion featured two Academy Award winners: Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg. Williams was here in Pasadena to hawk his first solo HBO comedy special in seven years, Robin Williams: Weapons of Self-Destruction, while always-busy Goldberg is executive producer of Head Games, TLC's first-ever trivia-driven series. Another Oscar winner (and Williams' co-star in 1997's Good Will Hunting), Matt Damon, was present on Wednesday to promote his appearance on History Channel documentary The People Speak. Will the upcoming network portion feature any Oscar winners? Stay tuned.
