The first trailer for Wicked: For Good dropped last week, and the Tony Awards happened on Sunday, so it seems like a good time to check in with Kristin Chenoweth. The munchkin-sized Good Witch of the East Coast is gearing up to make a grand return to Broadway this fall for the first time in 10 years ? how has she been away that long?! In the meantime, proud dog mom Kristin also has a fun new gig as ?The Enrichment Witch? for Nom Nom dog food. (See how much you can accomplish when you get up after 11am!) From what I?ve seen of both projects, they are fun and funny and campy as all get out. So it?s not all that surprising to hear that something high on Kristin?s career bucket list is hosting SNL. She says she watches the show ?religiously? (and I don?t think she uses that word lightly) and has sketch ideas to bring to the table. So what?s the hold up, Lorne?
?SNL,? Chenoweth tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview, referring to Saturday Night Live, when asked about what?s still left for her to do. ?I?ve never been asked, but I watch it religiously, and I just think they?re so talented.?
Noting that she has ?a lot of respect for sketch comedians,? the star ? who is working with Nom Nom for the pet food company?s ?Make Mealtime Magical? campaign ? continues, ?I love comedy, and that?s where I?m most comfortable. I even have ideas if I ever got asked to come on.?
Adds Chenoweth: ?I used to think, ?It?s never going to happen,? but then Betty White got asked, and I thought, ?Well, maybe I?ll get asked before I die.?? (White, who died at age 99 in 2021, became the oldest person to host SNL at the age of 88 in March 2010.)
Chenoweth is known for her triple-threat abilities in various projects across theater, television, film and music.
She made her foray in the entertainment industry through her Broadway debut in Steel Pier in 1997. Two years later, Chenoweth won a Tony Award for her role in You?re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, and in 2003, she originated the Tony-nominated role of Glinda in Wicked. Her other Broadway credits include The Apple Tree in 2006, Promises, Promises in 2010 and On the Twentieth Century in 2015, which earned her a third Tony Award nomination.
Her television roles include, but are not limited to, Glee, Trial & Error, Schmigadoon!, The West Wing, GCB and Pushing Daisies, the latter of which earned her an Emmy win. In terms of film roles, Chenoweth has starred in movies such as Bewitched, The Pink Panther, RV, Descendants, The Peanuts Movie and Our Little Secret.
As for music, Chenoweth has released various albums over the years, starting with 2001?s Let Yourself Go. She is also a New York Times bestselling author.
Alongside her aspirations to host SNL, Chenoweth tells PEOPLE she would also love to lead a horror film.
?Something with Blumhouse,? she explains, referring to the production company behind various thriller franchises, including Paranormal Activity, Insidious and The Purge.
?I?d love to play like a killer that no one expects. That?d be fun,? Chenoweth adds with a sly grin. ?It would be something that people wouldn?t see coming. I love the horror genre, suspense, anything like that.?
[From People]
Well, I too would like to see Kristin play against type and be the killer no one sees coming. Except now that she?s said it I fear she may have ruined the suspense ? we will see her coming! Which is why I propose Kristin scratches that horror itch by bringing that energy to her SNL brainstorming session (seriously, Lorne, call her!). And with that, it is my great pleasure to remind you all of Halloween 2023, when Ms. Chenoweth showed up to rehearsals dressed and possessed as the M3GAN doll. Brilliant. She nailed the look, the physicality, and again, the camp of it all. Ball?s in your court, SNL. But they?ll have to time it just right with Kristin?s schedule demands around her upcoming Broadway return. The Queen of Versailles (not old French history, recent Florida history) begins previews in October, and reunites Kristin with Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz. Honestly, the show had me hooked with the poster image of Kristin: floofy dog in one hand, iced soda in the other.

| | Katie Holmes wore Prada at the Tony Awards: one of the worst looks of the night? | | Added 43 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

This is nowhere near a comprehensive fashion list for last night?s Tony Awards, I?m just trying to highlight some of the best or worst fashion moments from people I recognized! I covered George Clooney?s appearance separately go here to see. Katie Holmes went to the Tonys in this two-piece Prada ensemble. In my opinion, the house of Prada has issues and this is a glaring example of those issues. They have color issues they put funky colors together and when they do bicolor or tricolor looks, it?s always jarring. The top part of this is also just? awful, it?s like a wrinkled sack.
Nicole Scherzinger surprised everyone by winning her first Tony Award for Sunset Boulevard, beating out Audra McDonald in Gypsy. It was also a surprise because Nicole?s time on Broadway has been marred by some off-Broadway gossip, like her coziness with MAGA. She wore a custom Rodarte, which looked lovely (albeit slightly dated).
Cynthia Erivo was the Tonys host, and she had a lot of outfit changes. She wore this Schiaparelli look for the red carpet. Eh.
Sarah Snook won her first Tony! Her gown was Richard Quinn.
Michelle Williams wore Bibhu Mohapatra I LOVE the skirt. I feel like the top could have been different?
Sarah Paulson wore Schiaparelli as well this is so ?1950s.?
Bonus Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. Keanu practically got a lapdance from Jonathan Groff!

In retrospect, it?s really funny how Amal Clooney completely avoided being photographed with her husband in the months where he had a terrible dye job. George Clooney dyed his hair black to play Edward R. Murrow in the stage adaptation of Good Night and Good Luck, and he spent months wandering around New York looking like Lurch. Amal avoided his Lurch Era, but she?s come back now that the show is over and his hair is almost back to its normal grey. These are photos of the Clooneys last night at the Tony Awards. He told People Mag that Amal was ?the happiest person? when he went back to grey. All of the dyed hair isn?t gone though, and now he really looks like he?s wearing a bad rug.
The Clooneys attended the Tony Awards because George was nominated for Best Actor and GNAGL was nominated in the Best Play category. Somewhat hilariously, the Tonys completely shut out GNAGL. Good. George has lost the plot, and during his turn on Broadway, he was an active participant in Jake Tapper?s anti-Biden bullsh-t. CNN was shilling hard for Clooney as well, airing GNAGL and pretending like it was some bold decision to do so. George deserves a lot worse than being shut out of the Tonys, but I?ll take this.
As for Amal, her dress is Tamara Ralph. Amal showcased the dress terribly, slouching over, shoulders slumped, twisting herself in knots to not tower over George. The dress itself is okayish, I guess the pearl detailing is lovely, but the look is very bridal. I feel like the length of the dress was a weird choice too.
