The Whitney Houston Tributes Continue
The tributes to Whitney Houston are continuing this week…
Lifetime, which aired Houston’s first film, “The Bodyguard,” last night is re-airing the film Saturday, February 18th at 8 p.m. “Biography: Whitney Houston” will air immediately following at 11 p.m.
If you miss Saturday’s airing, “The Bodyguard” will air again Sunday, February 19th at 5 p.m…
Encore will show two other Houston films, “Waiting to Exhale” and “The Preacher’s Wife” Friday, February 17th at 8 p.m. and 10:05 p.m…
And now here’s the doozy. ABC is airing a special two-hour edition of “20/20” called “One Moment in Time: The Life of Whitney Houston” Friday, February 17th at 9 p.m. According to the ABC press release, the special will include Diane Sawyer’s 2002 interview with Houston. It was that interview that included the famous “Crack is whack” statement.
I had actually speculated whether ABC would dig that interview out of the archives and it looks like they have—although the press release does not say if the interview will be shown in its entirety or we will only see selected segments.
I would look for the ratings to be pretty big for this one…
