(HDNet) This Saturday's debut of the new series "Naughty But Nice with Rob Shuter" will have a little something extra that no other program since "American Bandstand" can claim -- a theme song written by the blockbuster, Grammy Award winning team of Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman. "Naughty But Nice with Rob Shuter," is a new series hosted by one of the most widely read gossip columnists in the world. The new HDNet original program premieres Saturday, November 6 at 1:00 p.m. ET/PT with a same-day encore presentation at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT.
"I hope you like the theme song we wrote for Rob's show," said Barry Manilow, who also performs the song. "Because, knowing Rob as I do, you are going to be listening to it for a long time."
"In my career I have been fortunate to work with some remarkable talents who have achieved greatness in their respective fields -- Dick Clark, Bette Midler, Dionne Warwick, Lily Tomlin, Barbara Cook, Academy Award-winning writer Ted Tally, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein ... and Barry, of course," said Bruce Sussman. "This kid is next."
"Naughty But Nice with Rob Shuter" combines cool cocktails with the latest celebrity news and is filmed at the hip and trendy restaurant, Rare, located inside New York City's Fashion 26 Hotel. The show also features candid interviews with all of today's most interesting celebrities. And, every week, one lucky celebrity will receive the "Nicest" award and one not-so-fortunate celeb will be named the "Naughtiest."
