LAVERNE COX GOES DEEP WITH MELANIE LYNSKEY & MORE ON E!’S IF WE’RE BEING HONEST EMMYS SPECIAL

Laverne Cox is about to prove she can dazzle stars on and off of the red carpet.

The Live From E! host will put her impressive interview skills to good use as part of the network’s new special, If We’re Being Honest with Laverne Cox. Spotlighting trendsetters, tastemakers and those making an impact in the Hollywood community, the series is set to kick off on Monday, Sept. 5 with a special Emmys edition featuring nominees Melanie Lynskey, Nicole Byer and Sheryl Lee Ralph.

The trio of sit-downs will dive deep into each of the actress’ careers, the landscape of representation and more. For Melanie, who’s up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Yellowjackets, that includes revealing her journey with a psychic who may or may not have predicted her career, as well as sharing how an A-list actress is making sure Melanie has plenty of clothing options for the award show.

Like Melanie, Sheryl is celebrating her first-ever Emmy nod this year. Abbott Elementary fans can look forward to the legendary actress revealing what the honor means to her as she ruminates on her decades-long career. This, of course, includes her Tony-nominated role in the Broadway musical Dreamgirls, but as Sheryl will tell Laverne, it wasn’t all glitz and glamour.

While Nicole is no stranger to the Emmys, as she’s been nominated twice previously for her Netflix series Nailed It!, this year’s ceremony could be her biggest one yet. She’s competing in a whopping three categories; one for her variety special Nicole Byer: BBW (Big Beautiful Weirdo) and two for Nailed It!. Nicole was first nominated for the Netflix baking show in 2020, becoming the first Black woman to ever earn a nod in the Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program. With Laverne, Nicole will unpack the difficulties she’s faced over the years, as well as her desire to not just win awards, but encourage people to think outside of the box, too.

Interested in hearing the Emmy nominees dish on other subjects? You’re in luck, because as Laverne puts it in the above sneak peek, “I love getting in people’s business.”

If We’re Being Honest with Laverne Cox is produced by Den of Thieves. Jesse Ignjatovic, Evan Prager and Jordan Barrow are executive producing on behalf of Den of Thieves. Meaghan Rady serves as executive producer and show runner. Laverne Cox also serves as executive producer.

Be sure to join Laverne in getting the inside scoop on Monday, Sept. 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Plus, stay tuned for future specials that will air weekly in November beginning Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 10 p.m.

Don’t miss E!’s live 2022 Emmys red carpet show Monday, Sept. 12, followed by the Emmy Awards ceremony at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock.

E! TAKES THE STAGE WITH THE PREMIERE OF “RAISING A F***ING STAR” ON WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 7 AT 9:30 P.M. ET/PT

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – Aug. 23, 2022 – From the runway to the music studio, E! reveals an inside look behind the curtain in the rise to fame in “Raising a F***ing Star,” premiering Wednesday, Sept. 7 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. The docuseries follows four families around the country with bigger-than-life parents and their budding stars. With the rise of social media, fame is more accessible than ever, but the competition is steeper. These stage parents will stop at nothing to make their kids the next generation’s biggest name.

MEET THE FAMILIES:

THE SHEN FAMILY

In Orange County, Calif., sisters Chacha (10) and Kennie (15) are pursuing fame in the entertainment industry with the help of their momager Sam and dad Phil. As the household CEO, event planner and manager, Sam is a former competitive dancer who gave up her dancing career and has now put all her dreams into her children. Sam manages their daughters’ industry careers and social media presence, garnering an impressive following from their skills in acting, dancing, modeling and singing. When younger Chacha, who is in her “golden year” as a child performer, begins to secure more opportunities than her older sister, including a music video and appearance on “Access Hollywood,” Sam is put in a tough position in giving her children equal attention as not just a mother, but as a manager.

THE BROOKS FAMILY

A mother to four, Kia Brooks is the momager and glue that keeps her family together. In addition to her work as an entrepreneur in Atlanta, Kia manages basketball and hip-hop’s next big star, her 17-year-old daughter, Flau’Jae Johnson. Born into the rap game, Flau’Jae is looking to carry the legacy of her late father, rapper Camoflauge. Her talent doesn’t stop behind the mic, though, as she’s also a stellar basketball player attending LSU in the fall. Kia’s eldest son, Tray, is also looking to break out in the music industry but feels his mom is too dedicated to Flau’Jae’s career to help manage his. With a deal from a record label on the table for Flau’Jae and a disagreement with Tray, Kia and her children must learn to not let business interfere with the family.

THE BENSON / DEDMAN FAMILY

College sweethearts from Kentucky, Cool Benson and Kelly Dedman are raising daughter Daelyanna in Los Angeles with the hopes of her becoming the next household name. At 10 years old, Daelyanna is already a triple-threat actor-singer-dancer with experience working in theater productions and films. As “dadager,” Cool, a former national cheerleader and performer, wants to give Daelyanna all the encouragement to pursue her dreams that he didn’t receive as a child. However, as the father-daughter duo work on projects together, Cool must find the balance between being a manager and being a parent, as well as learn to share the spotlight.

THE BUNEVACZ FAMILY

Born and raised in California, 18-year-old Breanna is a girl next door and supermodel in the making. Growing up behind the gates in Calabasas, Breanna has the guidance and support of her mother, Jessica. A former model that began working at the age of 16, momager Jessica left behind her career in the Philippines and moved to the States to become a full-time mom. Seeing her own story in her daughter, Jessica is determined to guide Breanna toward a successful and lucrative modeling career. With opportunities beginning to line up, Jessica tries to steer her daughter in the right direction as her lack of enthusiasm and blasé attitude may hold her back from reaching the next level. When a difficult situation forces the family to overcome drastic life changes, the family must work harder than before to support one another.

“Raising A F***ing Star” is produced by World of Wonder with Randy Barbato, Fenton Bailey, Tom Campbell, Darren Ward, Adam Karpel and Shannon Wilson serving as executive producers.
