Paley Sets Virtual PaleyFest LA

The long-delayed PaleyFest is finally happening—virtually.

The yearly event—which was one of the first things to be shut down due to COVID-19—will now available on Paley Center’s YouTube channel, with the panels going live for Citi cardmembers and Paley Members on Friday, August 7, and (most) open to the public on Monday, August 10.

The shows involved in the festival are DOLLY PARTON’S HEARTSTRINGS, JUSTIN BIEBER: SEASONS, LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS, THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL, MRS. AMERICA, ONE DAY AT A TIME, OUTLANDER, OZARK, and QUEER EYE. Additionally, there will be a panel for SCHITT’S CREEK, but that will only be available for Paley Members and Citi cardmembers.

According to the center, “fans who make a tax-deductible donation of $50 or more to the Paley Center, a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, will see their name included onscreen during the closing credit of each PaleyFest event. To learn more please visit paleyfest.org.”

“PaleyFest LA has been the premier television festival in the country for more than thirty-five years, and, we’re so pleased to bring this best-in-class festival to millions of fans virtually for the first time through our Paley YouTube channel,” said Maureen J. Reidy, the Paley Center’s President & CEO in a statement. “We look forward to presenting this incredible lineup of programs featuring the shows that make us laugh, take us into a world of mystery, comfort us, and shine a light on pressing social issues. We’re thrilled to welcome back Citi as the official card of PaleyFest and we couldn’t ask for a better partner.” 

“Because the two of us are pretty sick of looking at each other, we are thrilled with the invitation to jump online and talk to other people about comedy. Many thanks to PaleyFest for the opportunity,” said THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL’s Amy Sherman-Palladino.

“It is a tremendous honor to be part of PaleyFest LA 2020. In times of uncertainty, we often look to the support of our families and communities. The global community – or family – of OUTLANDER fans has been steadfast in their support over the years.  Though we may not be able to do so in person, we look forward to being able to offer our thanks virtually, and are immensely grateful to The Paley Center for the privilege of participating,” OUTLANDER executive producer  Matthew B. Roberts. 

“We couldn’t be happier. The list of shows that have been included in PaleyFest is like a laundry list of our favorite series ever. So, to look back on OZARK season three as part of this group is truly an honor,” added OZARK executive producer Chris Mundy.
