‘Antique Roadshow’ flips the script with celebrity editions
Associated PressNEW YORK — Chef, cookbook author and TV host Carla Hall has always wondered about an antique wooden highchair her family has long cherished. “I’m not selling anything.” Hall was one of several celebrity guests on four new special episodes of “Antiques Roadshow” that were filmed during the pandemic. They are just like any other ‘Roadshow’ guest,” says “Antique Roadshow” executive producer Marsha Bemko. Celebrities have appeared on “Antique Roadshow” before, but this is the first time they’ve been featured for an entire episode. It’s not all about the value.” The celebrity episodes were a clever answer to the pandemic and a chance to shake things up during the 25th anniversary of “Antique Roadshow.” Initially, with flying not an option, the celebrities chosen to be featured were within driving distance of the show’s Boston headquarters at WGBH.
