Sally Field, Missy Peregrym among the year’s interview favorites BEST ‘A CHRISTMAS STORY’ MOMENTS Ian Petrella

For many entertainment writers, each year brings numerous interviews, but some stand out for particular reasons.

The past 12 months were no exception, and here’s a look at some of the favorite conversations we had with celebrities relatively recently.

Sally Field: Robert Osborne’s co-host this year on Turner Classic Movies’ “The Essentials,” the two-time Oscar winner was refreshingly opinionated in her views, both on the air and in an interview about her role on the series. “The only voice I have is that of an actor,” she said, “and that I had my own evolution and that I came from an acting family. I studied different styles of acting all my life,” she said, “and I saw how what was considered a good performance changed … so I felt my task was not only to talk about the lead actors, but the incredible weight and importance of the supporting cast.” (Bobbin) Ray Liotta: While being interviewed for the History miniseries “Texas Rising,” Liotta noted how lucky he was to be in two enduring movie classics early in his career: “Field of Dreams” and “GoodFellas.” He spoke about how even today. people come up to him and talk about the latter film. “I have kids coming up to me 10, 11, 12 years old, believe it or not, saying that they saw ‘GoodFellas,’ which makes me wonder about their parents.” (Dickie) Missy Peregrym: Though it wasn’t known at the start of its summer season whether it would be the last – which it turned out to be – for the ABC series “Rookie Blue,” the actress who played Officer Andy McNally reflected very honestly on it possibly being the end. Since Seasons 5 and 6 were filmed together last year, she hadn’t seen her fellow cast members in a while and said about the show’s thenuncertain future, “At the end of the day, I can’t believe we’ve even gone this long. It’s such a blessing that we’ve been able to work together for so long.” (Bobbin) Philip Winchester: The affable Winchester was eight months removed from filming the final scenes for his Cinemax action series “Strike Back” when he called to talk about it. He laughed heartily as he recalled some of the more adventurous stunts he pulled off with co-star Sullivan Stapleton, including one in which he jumped into the back of a helicopter as it was taking off. Clearly, a good time was had by him.

(Dickie) Angela Lansbury: The stage and screen icon returned to television in a “Great Performances” presentation of “Driving Miss Daisy,” shown at a time when she was in the midst of receiving awards including an honorary Oscar and appointment as a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. “It seems that if you remain alive long enough, these are the things that come drifting your way,” Lansbury mused during one of the very few interviews she did for the PBS telecast. “I’m very proud and humbled to have received, and to have been given, so much recognition. What can I say? It’s terrific.” (Bobbin) Dana Delany: In an in-person interview, the former “China Beach” Emmy winner proved to be as down-to-earth and charming as she was talented in discussing her new role on the Amazon series “Hand of God.” She talked about how curiosity brought her to streaming TV and working with Ron Perlman, “who I’ve known since back when I was on ‘China Beach’ and he was on ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ so we sort of circled each other for years.” (Dickie)

BY JAY BOBBIN

The opening scene There isn’t enough space here for everything we love about this 1983 movie – which gets its annual 24-hour marathon from both TBS and TNT starting Thursday, Dec. 24 – but we’ll start at the beginning, with youngsters’ faces pressed up against the front window of a department store as they marvel at the holiday display.

The maternal warning “You’ll shoot your eye out,” says Mom (Melinda Dillon) to Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) about the Red Ryder air rifle he wants so desperately.

The too-tight snowsuit Ralphie’s little brother Randy (Ian Petrella) has a tough time keeping up with the older kids, then in just trying to get up when he falls down.

The tongue stuck to the flagpole Flick (Scott Schwartz) can’t turn his back on being “triple-dogdared,” and any fan of the film knows what happens next.

The leg lamp So popular that you actually can buy a working replica of it, this fishnet-stocking-clad contest prize is cherished by Ralphie’s dad and despised by his mom.

The schoolyard fight Ralphie finally strikes back against bully Farkus (Zack Ward), and the result is one of the movie’s most touching moments ... truly with no pun intended.

The visit to the department-store Santa Ralphie makes every nanosecond count in telling an impatient pseudo-Kris Kringle what he wants for Christmas, the result being a very famous backward exit.

The pink bunny outfit Well, Ralphie’s aunt made it for him, and Mom insists that he wear it.

DEMOCRATIC DEBATE

8 p.m. on 22, 6

The latest debate between the contenders for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination (and the final debate for this calendar year) is broadcast from Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H. “ABC World News” weeknight anchor David Muir and Martha Raddatz, the network’s chief global affairs correspondent, moderate the event. George Stephanopoulos serves as lead anchor of the coverage overall.

A CHRISTMAS MELODY

8 p.m. on HALL

Mariah Carey directed and stars in this new holiday movie that casts Lacey Chabert as Kristin, a divorcee who moves back to her Ohio hometown with her young daughter, after being forced to close her small New York boutique. Both have a hard time adjusting to the move, especially since Kristin’s former high-school rival (Carey) still harbors ill feelings toward her. Brennan Elliott, Kathy Najimy and Fina Strazza also star. (Premiere) Å

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

8 p.m. on LIFE

In Vermont to broker the sale of an old inn, Kate (Jen Lilley, “Days of our Lives”) is nonplussed to learn that the place is said to be haunted — and that the handsome Daniel Forsythe (Thomas Beaudoin), whom she just met, is actually the restless spirit of a man who died nearly a century ago but takes the form of a human 12 days before Christmas on a quest to resolve his mysterious death. Bates Wilder also stars.

For a lot of people, nothing says Christmas like a nice, tall glass of spiked eggnog. But for Jack Maxwell, South Boston native and the host of Travel Channel’s Tuesday series “Booze Traveler,” Irish whiskey takes him back.

“I grew up in an Irish neighborhood,” he says, “which it seemed everybody had (Irish whiskey) out on the counter at Christmas. No matter how well or not well they were doing in life, they’d always have a nice bottle of Irish whiskey – including my great grandmother, who lived to be 101, probably because of all the Irish whiskey nips she took.”

“I think it was the drink all the time,” he says, laughing. “I don’t think it was just Christmas.”

Maxwell, now in his second season as host of the series that takes him around the world in search of the most exotic, tasty and downright strange cocktails, doesn’t have much use for eggnog, except around the holidays. And while he’s never been on the road filming the series at Christmas – and therefore never got to sample any official Christmas beverages from other countries – he has encountered a few that for him that evoke the holiday.

Take, for instance, an Austrian concoction known as zirbinschnaps. “(It) is basically made from the tar of a pine cone,” he explains. “And you whirl it around in the water and you put a ton of sugar in it, of course, and it tastes like a liquid Christmas tree.

Not just a pine cone, because they put other things in there that they don’t tell you about.”

“And of course it sits there for a long time. It must because that can be very strong – there’s a reason we don’t eat pine cones for survival. But it’s really good and of course, sugar masks a lot of things. But they’ve been doing it right there forever.

And who am I to say? Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s strange.”

What book are you currently reading?

“The last book I was reading was ‘Illusions’

by Richard Bach, which is an old book. He also wrote ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull.’ And it’s just a beautiful story about how life can kind of be what you want it to be and it’s very simply stated. ... A great follow-up to ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull.’ ”

BY GEORGE DICKIE

Jack Maxwell

International drinks evoke Christmas for ‘Booze Traveler’ Maxwell What did you have for dinner last night?

“My mother and stepfather cooked a beautiful salmon out on the grill with some risotto and a nice salad. It was really a sweet and simple homecooked meal, which I die to have on the road.”

What is your next project?

“I hope it’s this. I’d love to keep doing ‘Booze Traveler.’ To see the world and meet people is one of the great things. I didn’t make up this quote but I read it somewhere. It said, ‘If you don’t travel, it’s like reading only one page of a book.’ And that’s so true.”

When was your last vacation, where and why?

“I just got back from a week away in Phoenix, where my folks live – my mother and stepfather and nieces and friends. ... And I got to just chill out with my family and have some home cooking and see the folks, and that to me is the best vacation.”

“Church Night TV,” www. churchnight.org/webseries/ Adapted from a stage show, this comedy/variety series parodies a Middle America church service with its blend of monologs, sketches and music. The congregation (aka the audience) takes an active part in the service throughout the proceedings, which culminate with the “Shots n’ Tots” communion, in which parishioners consume a shot of whiskey and a single tater tot. Roman Catholic viewers, brace yourselves for blasphemy.

THE 64TH ANNUAL MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT 7 p.m. on 28

Beauty and talent are two of the most important qualities the judges survey as Steve Harvey hosts the latest edition of the annual pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, but poise may be more important: The contestants must appear cool as a cucumber during a telecast distributed to about 190 countries and territories around the world. The event culminates with the reigning Miss Universe, Paulina Vega of Colombia, crowning her successor.

JENNIFER NETTLES

BY JAY BOBBIN

OF ‘CMA COUNTRY CHRISTMAS’ ON ABC With this being your sixth year of hosting “CMA Country Christmas,” are you still surprised by the combination of performers put together for the special?

That’s one of the things I love about it. Clearly, it is (staged) by the Country Music Association, so it’s primarily country artists who are on it, but it’s also super-diverse. The point of the show is to celebrate the holidays, and getting to do that with such a diverse group of artists is a big kick.

This holiday season also has seen you make your television acting debut in “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors.” How big a deal was that for you?

I grew up doing theater, so I love acting in general and have wanted to get back to that. At the beginning of the year, I did “Chicago” on Broadway, and that was really transformative for me. Then I had this fantastic opportunity when “Coat of Many Colors” came across the desk, but I didn’t think it was going to happen because I thought I was going to be recording a new album then.

Luckily, as the universe works things, it ended up working out and I read for (the producers) and they thought I was right for it. The actual process of doing it was cathartic for me, and I loved being able to play a character for longer than 3-1/2 minutes (in a music video).

You’ve also been doing concerts that will resume early in the new year. How has the tour been going for you?

Checking in with

‘GEORGE ‘G G EOO RRGG E BAILEY’ (played by James Stewart)

12

You know what? It has been so much fun! Much of the show is the new music, but I laugh and call it ‘The Ghosts of Past, Present and Future’ because I also play some Sugarland stuff and some from “That Girl” (Nettles’ first solo album), but a lot of it is also from my new album that’s coming in the spring, “Playing With Fire.”

It has been so rewarding to watch all my fans lean in and listen and participate in the new material. I have been so touched and pleased and happy and thrilled that everybody’s getting into it the way they are.

He’s one of the most thought-about people during the holiday season, though he isn’t real. But what if George Bailey was?

As played by James Stewart, the central character in the Frank Capra-directed 1946 movie classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” – again getting its traditional Christmas Eve showing Thursday, Dec. 24, on NBC – popularized a notion that’s been used since in countless television-series episodes: “How would life and the people I know be different without me?”

Imagine for a moment that George actually did exist, that he still was around, and that he was asked for an update on his life.

“It really has been a wonderful life,” Bailey says. “If I hadn’t gone through what I did back then, particularly with the people I love seeming not to know who I was, I don’t know that I would have appreciated them – or the world – as much as I have.”

Bailey isn’t surprised that his story has had so much resonance with people for the better part of 70 years: “I think that, at one time or another, just about everybody wonders what they’d do with a second chance at life if they got it. Avoid the mistakes you made the first time, be more considerate of others, and just make the most of every opportunity you’re given.”

When, and how, Denzel Washington will check into ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Q: I’ve heard that Denzel Washington is going to be on “Grey’s Anatomy.” Is that true?

– Diane Scott, Grove City, Ohio A: He is, but not as an actor. The two-time Oscar winner has agreed to direct the “winter premiere” of executive producer Shonda Rhimes’ long-running ABC medical drama ... which would make that the first new episode when the show returns from its current break on Feb. 11. He’s been a director before, on the true-story movies “Antwone Fisher” and “The Great Debaters” (both of which he also starred in), but this will be the first time he’ll have done that job in roughly eight years.

Q: Is there ever going to be a new season of “Mike & Molly”? – Gaye Newton, Delta Co., Colo.

A: Yes, there will – starting Jan. 6 on CBS, when it will begin a pairing with “2 Broke Girls” on Wednesdays. The Melissa McCarthy-Billy Gardell sitcom also has had a midseason start the past couple of years, which we remain at something of a loss to explain, given the movie popularity McCarthy also has now. The show has been pretty much a sure bet for the network, since it always delivers steady if not blockbuster ratings, making it nice security to have in the back pocket programming-wise.

One catch is that with the addition of ”Supergirl” on Mondays this season, CBS had two fewer slots for half-hour comedies than it used to. However, the new Wednesday schedule opens up two more such slots, along with the existing four on Thursdays (one of which will belong to Jane Lynch’s new “Angel From Hell” starting Jan. 7, and another to the returning Matthew Perry-Thomas Lennon reboot of “The Odd Couple” in April).

As this season wraps with its final double episode, judges Taniya Nayak and Carter Oosterhouse award their last pair of $50,000 grand prizes, based on use of lights, overall design and Christmas spirit. (Season Finale) (N) h Å

CHRISTMAS WITH THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR FEATURING SANTINO FONTANA AND THE SESAME STREET MUPPETS 9 p.m. on 9 Unless you’ve caught him in the clever but underappreciated new CW musical comedy “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” or co-starring with Tony Shalhoub in the recent “Live From Lincoln Center” telecast of “Act One” on PBS, you may not recognize Santino Fontana, one of the fastest rising stars to come out of Broadway recently. Discover why as he shares tonight’s spotlight for a program of seasonal music and some clever ditties from some “Sesame Street” characters. (N)

I LOVE LUCY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

8 p.m. on 11, 12

Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular? If so, the answer to all your problems is in this spittle lecial — erm, little special, in which CBS pairs the unforgettable “Lucy Does a TV Commercial” (aka “Vitameatavegamin”) with a new “Christmas Special” first seen in 1956. In the latter, the Ricardos (Desi Arnaz, Lucille Ball) and Mertzes (William Frawley, Vivian Vance) reflect on how their lives have changed since the arrival of Little Ricky. CBS notes that both episodes have been “colorized with a nod to the decade in which the shows were filmed.” (N)

A CHRISTMAS STORY 7 p.m., 9 p.m., 11 p.m., 1 a.m., 3 a.m., 5 a.m. on TNT; 8 p.m., 10 p.m., 12 a.m., 2 a.m., 4 a.m. on TBS

“You’ll shoot your eye out!” Peter Billingsley stars in this 1983 comedy as the little boy who yearns to find a Red Ryder BB gun under the Christmas tree. Not just a Christmas story, it’s about parents, little brothers, bullies, decoder rings, double dog dares and most of all, the workings of a youthful mind. The writing by Jean Shepherd (who also narrates) captures it all perfectly. Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon also star. This airing kicks off TNT’s traditional day-long Christmas marathon of the movie, which also airs on TBS. Å (DVS)

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE 8 p.m. on 3

Small-town guy George Bailey (James Stewart) defers one big dream after another to stay home, marry a local girl (Donna Reed) and run the family business. Facing financial ruin, he’s pulled from suicidal despair by angel Clarence (Henry Travers), who shows him how terrible the world would have been if he’d never lived. Lionel Barrymore also stars in director Frank Capra’s 1946 classic. Å (DVS)

LIFE IN PIECES 8:31 p.m. on 11, 12

Much is going on in the family that fuels the “Pilot” for this comedy, with two-time Oscar winner Dianne Wiest and James Brolin as the heads of the brood. At various stages of their own relationships are their grown children, played by Betsy Brandt (“Breaking Bad”), Thomas Sadoski (“The Newsroom”) and Colin Hanks (“Fargo”). The cast is made even bigger by those playing the offsprings’ significant others, as the show tells a quartet of short stories weekly. h Å

The sonic screwdriver di returns t iin ‘DOCTOR WHO’S’ 2015 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

Details for the highly anticipated 2015 Christmas special episode of “Doctor Who” are trickling out. The episode entitled, “The Husbands of River Song” will not only feature returning guest star Alex Kingston as River Song, but photos reveal the return of none other than the sonic screwdriver.

Seriously! The sonic screwdriver is back! It’s been missing for all Season 9 – but why?! Hopefully the Christmas special will answer that very question.

Here is the full episode description from the BBC site: “It’s Christmas Day on a remote human colony and the Doctor is hiding from carols and comedy antlers. But when the Time Lord’s help is requested he finds himself recruited into River Song’s squad and hurled into a fast and frantic chase across the galaxy! King Hydroflax (Greg Davies) is furious and his giant robot bodyguard is out-of-control and coming for them all! Will Nardole (Matt Lucas) survive? And when will River work out who the Doctor is? All will be revealed on a starliner full of galactic super-villains and at a destination the Doctor has been avoiding for a very long time ... .”

Why bring back River? Showrunner Steven Moffat explained to the Radio Times, “I’ll be honest, I brought River Song back in because I thought there’s a possibility I’d never write (‘Doctor Who’) again so that’ll be my goodbye. But also I really fancied it. I hadn’t written River for a couple of years and I’d always loved writing for her and I’d missed her. I thought, given that I’m knackered at the end of a series, what would be a treat for me would be getting Alex Kingston back onto ‘Doctor Who.’ ” The “Doctor Who” 2015 Christmas special will air on BBC One and BBC America on Friday, Dec. 25.

The first trailer for ‘Grease Live!’ shows this cast was born to hand jive After giving the first look at the actors in “Grease Live!” in some promotional images, Fox released the first trailer for the upcoming live event. The photos give a look at Julianne Hough as Sandy, Aaron Tveit as Danny, and Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo, but now the supporting cast can be glimpsed in the 30-second spot. https://youtube/QdS_yNe02vg Check out Carly Rae Jepsen (“Call Me Maybe”) as Frenchy, Keke Palmer (“Scream Queens”) as Marty, and Kether Donohue (“You’re the Worst”) as Jan, rounding out the Pink Ladies, Rizzo’s gang of best friends and the clique that adopts Sandy when she moves to their 1950s suburban high school.

Also in the cast are Carlos PenaVega (“Dancing With the Stars”) as Kenickie and David Del Rio (“The Troop”) as Putzie, filling out Danny Zuko’s crew of greaser dudes and the rest of the senior class.

While the trailer doesn’t have the cast performing anything live, they have all proven that they look good in poodle skirts and leather jackets, and have the skills to hand jive – and this class looks right at home in the Rydell High School hallway.

Watch “Grease Live!” on Jan. 31, on Fox.
