What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNoted. The story is that Netflix has a new Tyler Perry holiday movie called The Gospel of Christmas, a gospel musical arriving this November.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWhat's on Netflix says Perry returns to the director's chair, with a star-studded cast. What is your take?

  3. Tobias WexcombeVisionary.

  4. Tobias WexcombeAs I told the choir director, a gospel musical is the only honest way to say Christmas, and I happen to be standing near a choir.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou are in a rehearsal hall, so that tracks. Tell us about your own project.

  6. Tobias WexcombeIt is a one-man nativity called Hark, The Herald Is Me. I play every shepherd, three kings, and a very emotional donkey.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe donkey is emotional.

  8. Tobias WexcombeHe lost a brother in the second act. I don't want to spoil it, but there is a tambourine, and her name is Clarence.

  9. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTobias, I have to ask the hard one. Have you actually auditioned for The Gospel of Christmas?

  10. Tobias WexcombeI have been auditioning spiritually.

  11. Tobias WexcombeAs I told the Mount Zion Cathedral Mass Choir of Six Thousand, you do not chase a part, you hum near it.

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSix thousand?

  13. Tobias WexcombeWell, it was six. Hundred. Fine, it was a Sunday, and I stood in the back, but I felt the room.

  14. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have been asked to leave embassies with more honesty than that. Is there anything else you would like to confess?

  15. Tobias WexcombeI cried at a Christmas special once, and it was not even a good one. It was a commercial for a ham.

  16. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen let us do a lightning round. Favorite carol?

  17. Tobias WexcombeWhichever one has the solo.

  18. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBest holiday movie ever made?

  19. Tobias WexcombeThe one I am in, which I will be, by November.

  20. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIdeal casting call, in one word.

  21. Tobias WexcombeClarence. She is very available, and she has never missed a beat.

  22. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTobias, plug your show, and then please stop auditioning on my network.

  23. Tobias WexcombeHark, The Herald Is Me, at a church basement near you. Gloria, is there a part in this for a tambourine?
