Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Mar 23, 2022

Back in the saddle again: If I told you Christina Ricci was going to be in the upcoming “Addams Family” spinoff series called "Wednesday" coming to Netflix, you'd probably assume she'd be playing the title role --because after all, she was "Wednesday" in the original "Addams Family" series, right? Not so much.

Turns out she'll actually be playing an all-new character on the show, according to Deadline. “Wednesday” will actually be played by 19-year-old “Scream” actress Jenna Ortega; Catherine Zeta-Jones will play the Addams' mom, Morticia, and Luis Guzmán will play her husband, Gomez.

"Saturday Night Live" has announced three upcoming hosts for the month of April; Jerrod Carmichael and Jake Gyllenhaal will be the hosts for April 2nd and 9th, plus Lizzo will host and be the musical guest as well on April 16. Jake's musical guest will be Camila Cabello, whose new album, "Familia," comes out on April 8, the day before the show.

General Motors says it's gotta recall about 740-thousand SUVs because the headlights are too bright for other vehicles on the road. If you own a GMC Terrain SUV from the year 2010 through 2017, you'll probably get a recall notice.

Rumor mill: Show biz daily Variety sez Beyoncé could be not only attending but may be performing at the 2022 Oscars ceremony this Sunday. The show already will include Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, singer Sheila E., the Samples, DJ D-Nice and more. As you probably already know, Amy Schumer, Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes will be hosting the show on ABC.
