Was there a reason given for it? — Carol Little, Reading, Pa. A : The general explanation offered by ABC was that it wants to go in "a different creative direction" with the competition when it returns in the new television season. Bergeron's co-host Erin An - drews (a "Dancing" competitor earlier) also was released from the show, then the next day, it was announced that Tyra Banks will be the new host as well as an executive producer. As closely associated as he's been with that program since the inception of the American version, it's hard to imagine that Bergeron won't pick up another steady tele - vision job sooner than later. With his smooth skills, quick wit and unflappable demeanor, he's one of the "go-to" people to fill a hosting role — and there should be enough of those once TV production returns to relative normalcy. And we can add from firsthand experience that he's a terrific person, which also can go a long way in hirings and busi - ness dealings. Q : What was the real pur- pose of the "30 Rock" reunion special? It just seemed like a long ad for other shows. — Pete Clark, via e-mail A : Well, that's because ... it was. The special initially was designed to be a substi- tute for the annual "upfront" presentation by NBC Univer- sal, at which it presents its new-season lineup to adver- tisers at a May event in New York (as do other networks). That had to be canceled this year because of the coronavi - rus pandemic, so NBC came up with the idea to reunite the "30 Rock" cast to do a "virtual" presentation of those plans. Because such star power was involved with the likes of Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan, among others — and also because NBC had had recent success with a "Parks and Recreation" reunion special — the deci- sion was made to broadcast what was called an "upfront special event." To a certain degree, though, it ultimately backfired: Many NBC affil- iates refused the carry the show, partially because it would have advertised cable and streaming rivals on their airwaves, but also because a good number of them have been smarting over the de- cision for the new Peacock service (which had a sizable spot in that special) to offer the Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers late-night shows sev - eral hours before NBC sta- tions can broadcast them.
