I know it made mention of "Sling Blade," but what were some of the other movies he did? — Sharon James, via e-mail A : Ritter already had some movie credits before the sitcom "Three's Company" premiered in 1977, including the Charles Bronson police thriller "The Stone Killer" and the Peter Bogdanovich-di- rected "Nickelodeon." His television stardom brought him bigger theatrical-feature roles ... in fact, he played the U.S. president in "America- thon," and he also appeared in "Hero at Large," "Wholly Moses!" and another Bog- danovich project, "They All Laughed." "Real Men" and director Blake Edwards' "Skin Deep" preceded the first really big movie hit Ritter had, "Problem Child" (which also was refer- enced on that ABC special by his second wife, actress Amy Yasbeck, whom he met while making that film). That logically led him into the se- quel "Problem Child 2," which he followed with "Noises Off," "Stay Tuned" and "North." Then came "Sling Blade," in an image-changing dra- matic role devised for Ritter by writer, director and star Billy Bob Thornton (who had worked with him on the series "Hearts Afire"). Only a handful of other movies afterward, such as "Tripfall" and "Tadpole," made use of Ritter's more-serious acting skills before his very untimely passing in 2003. And along the way, he also starred in a great many made-for-TV movies, plus the miniseries of Stephen King's "It." Q : How long has Hoda Kotb been an anchor of "Today"? — Lisa Powell, Reading, Pa. A : She has been a host of "Today's" fourth weekday hour since September 2007, and Kathie Lee Gifford was teamed with her on the NBC program the following April. Gifford stayed for 11 years, then Jenna Bush Hager succeeded her and remains Kotb's partner there. Kotb's co-anchor tenure on the first two hours of the weekday "Today" began in November 2017 after the firing of Matt Lauer, when she joined Savannah Guthrie to reveal that news. She stayed, and the following January, it was made official that Kotb would be Guthrie's partner at the anchor desk going forward. Kotb maintained that she also would keep the fourth hour of the show, and she has continued to make good on that promise. Send questions of gen- eral interest via email to tvpipeline@gracenote. com.
