TV Land helps fight the winter chill when the most sizzling sitcom of the summer returns with its first ever “Hot in Cleveland” special entitled “Behind the Hotness” on December 12, 2010 at 9:00PM ET/PT . The 60-minute presentation features the hit sitcom’s stars – Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and Betty White – in a behind-the-scenes look at the funniest moments from the first season.
“Behind the Hotness” includes brand new cast interviews and hilarious never-before-aired bloopers and clips showcasing unforgettable guest star appearances by iconic personalities such as Tim Conway, Joe Jonas, Huey Lewis, Susan Lucci, Carl Reiner and more. Viewers will also get a glimpse of the much-anticipated second season which premieres on January 19, 2011 at 10:00PM ET/PT. “Behind the Hotness” is executive produced by Gay Rosenthal, Nicholas Caprio and Paul Barrosse for Gay Rosenthal Productions (TV Land’s “Myths & Legends,” VH1’s “Behind the Music”).
“We wanted to give our loyal ‘Hot in Cleveland’ fans an early holiday treat,” states Larry W. Jones, president of TV Land. “We think they will really enjoy hearing from the ladies about their experience working together and their immediate family-like chemistry on screen and off with this exclusive look at the magic behind-the-scenes.”
“Hot in Cleveland” revolves around three fabulous best friends from Los Angeles – novelist Melanie Moretti (Valerie Bertinelli), eye-brow archer to the stars Joy Scroggs (Jane Leeves) and former soap star Victoria Chase (Wendie Malick) – who find their lives changed forever when their plane, headed for Paris, makes an unexpected landing. When the friends discover that life is better for them since they are hot in Cleveland, they decide to stay. Starting over together, they rent a house that happens to come with a very opinionated caretaker (Betty White).
Filmed in front of a live studio audience, “Hot in Cleveland” is executive produced by Emmy® Award-winner Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills Productions and is helmed by Emmy® Award-winning Suzanne Martin (“Frasier,” “Ellen”) serving as executive producer, show runner and writer. Lynda Obst also serves as executive producer.
