Grant, now 57, can’t hide his excitement about reuniting with Candice Bergen, the legendary five-time Emmy winner who plays Murphy Brown herself. “Working with Candice again is like stepping into a comedy dream world,” he says with a laugh. “She has this uncanny ability to make me crack up, no matter how hard I try to stay serious. We’ve always had this unprofessional streak, and it’s honestly the best part of the job. I just adore her so much—it’s like picking up right where we left off.”
What Fans Can Expect from the Reboot
For those of you wondering what to expect from the reboot, Grant promises a mix of nostalgia and modernity. “We’re bringing back the heart and humor that made the original so special, but we’re also tackling today’s issues head-on,” he explains. “It’s going to feel familiar, but with a fresh perspective that reflects the world we live in now. If you loved the original, you’re going to love this new chapter.”
Why ‘Murphy Brown’ Still Matters Today
At its core, Murphy Brown has always been about more than just laughs. It’s a show that tackles real-world issues with wit and intelligence. “Candice and the whole team are committed to keeping that legacy alive,” Grant adds. “We’re not shying away from the tough conversations. If anything, we’re doubling down on them. It’s a powerful reminder of how storytelling can make a difference.”
