Fox orders a full season of Showtime At The Apollo
Last year, Fox brought back Showtime At The Apollo, albeit just for a pair of specials hosted by Steve Harvey. But that brief stint was enough to properly whet appetites for a whole season of fame seekers, as Variety reports that Fox has now picked it up to series. And the once-and-future comedian acquitted himself well enough in his duties as emcee that the network wants him to continue to oversee the ongoing talent search. Setting aside his Family Feud-inspired malaise, Harvey says he and the network had “a blast” working on the two specials, but they all agree that “it really deserved being a weekly event.”
