Get personal with Robin Roberts in her upcoming talk show along with some of Hollywood’s groundbreaking women as they bear witness to their incredible journeys on their path to purpose. And as the show’s title suggests, the guests often “turn the tables” and interview Roberts and each other in heartfelt and often humorous conversations, and is confirmed to air on Friday, July 30, 2021, on Disney+.
Each episode is a profound conversation filled with emotion and inspiration. Listen to never-before-heard stories of how these groundbreakers came face-to-face with their vulnerability, authenticity, and intuition. Discover their commonalities and learn how their stories and experiences created room for expansion and evolution.
Roberts wants to have an impact beyond reporting the news. The stories of her own life as a daughter, a sister, a cancer survivor, a lesbian churchgoer, are movingly delivered. And for all the revelations that “Turning the Tables” presents as spontaneous, they surely are also the product of thought about how best to show off a new side. But too often throughout this four-episode series, one wonders how Roberts would interview any one of the people she has brought together. It’s admirable that she strips away the bustle of morning-show broadcasting. But the impulse to provide a safe place for conversation ends up sanding off all edges the show might have had. We know less about Roberts, by the end of four episodes, than we might have expected. And perhaps that’s by design.
Guests include Debbie Allen, Sofia Carson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jenna Dewan, Sheila E., Melissa Etheridge, Mickey Guyton, Betsey Johnson, Billie Jean King, Tig Notaro, Raven-Symoné, and Josie Totah.
