I seriously can not remember seeing so many promos for a single show as I've seen for NBC's new series, Smash. Katharine McPhee plays the lead. There's just something about losing American Idol, which she competed on in 2006, that catapults singers to A-list superstardom.
Katharine has an amazing voice and she's beautiful, but that wasn't enough to make anyone care about her. Her albums didn't sell, and she had very small parts in a few movies, and now she is the main star of a show that has Steven Spielberg as an executive producer. NICE!
McPhee is promoting her new show in the March issue of GQ magazine. In her interview, Katharine explains why Smash appeals to both sexes.
"I can understand why guys wouldn't be into Glee. You know, that's a pretty heavy musical show. That show does, like, six songs in an episode. We'll do, at most, three."
She also told her interviewer: "What if I tell your readers that in episode five I take off all my clothes? I mean...no. But can't we just say that?"
I feel like Smash will be a hit. It just has to be! NBC needs to earn back all of the revenue it spent on advertising for this friggin' show. I think Kat is way off, though, if she thinks straight guys will be tuning in.
