This Morning is an institution of British morning TV, and Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby are perhaps - apart from the beloved Ant and Dec - the most famous presenting duo in this country.
And it turns out that it’s even big across the Atlantic - as Phil and Holly have made an unexpected appearance on The Morning Show, the new series which features Hollywood’s biggest names- like Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carrell - starring as news anchors in a fictional programme about America's biggest morning news show.
In an intense meeting scene - which features Aniston’s character news anchor Alex Levy - eagle eyed viewers have noticed that This Morning is being played on a TV in the background - making one of the most iconic British/American TV crossovers in history. As one viewer tweeted, ‘Putting @thismorning on the screens in the background of a scene in The Morning Show, brilliant. Enjoyed seeing Dr Chris, Phil and Holly on screen within a screen.’
The series, which debuted to mixed reviews, follows the news show as it is hit by sexual misconduct allegations against Carrell's character Mitch Kessler. Describing the plot herself, Aniston said, ‘Through the prism of those under-slept, over-adrenalized people behind and in front of the camera. We take an honest look at the complex relationships between women and men in the workplace and we engage in the conversation people are a little too afraid to have unless they’re behind closed doors.’
Witherspoon added, 'In The Morning Show, we pull back the curtain on the power dynamics between men and women in the high-stakes world of morning news shows. It’s a real insider’s view into the lives of the people who help America wake up every day.'
