‘Great News’ Season 2: ‘Shades Of Blue’ Actor Ray Liotta To Guest-Star

Ray Liotta has landed a guest-starring role on NBC’s “Great News.”

According to TV Insider, Liotta is set to appear as himself in an upcoming Season 2 episode, in which he offers Carol (Andrea Martin) and Katie (Briga Heelan) some helpful inside info when the mother-daughter duo heads to the Garden State to track down a source.

This isn’t the first time Liotta has appeared on a Tina Fey-produced comedy. Earlier this year, the Golden Globe-nominated actor played Paulie Fiuccillo in Season 3, episode 10 of Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.”

In addition to his series regular role as Lieutenant Matt Wozniak on NBC’s “Shades of Blue,” Liotta’s other TV credits include ABC’s “Modern Family,” History’s “Texas Rising” and CBS’ “Smith.”

“Great News,” which is currently on hiatus, is set to return on Thursday, Jan. 4, 2018 at 9:30 p.m. EST.

Plot details about the next episode (Season 2, episode 7) are being kept under wraps, but it will probably continue to explore Katie’s new romance with Jeremy (Reid Scott), who ended up kissing the MMN producer after a successful stakeout at the end of Season 2, episode 6.

Katie met Jeremy for the first time at the American Journalism Awards in Season 2, episode 4. Although Jeremy looked down at Katie for working in cable news during their first meeting, the handsome New York Times reporter developed feelings for her when he invited her to do some “real reporting” with him.

“Over the course of a couple episodes, they get close and start dating,” series creator Tracey Wigfield told Variety of Katie and Jeremy last September.

As seen in the last episode, Greg (Adam Campbell) was devastated when he saw Katie and Jeremy kissing. While Katie is clearly into Jeremy, Wigfield said that Katie and Greg shippers have nothing to worry about. “The Katie-Greg stuff is definitely in the background,” Wigfield told Entertainment Weekly last August. “Hopefully it will come to a head in some exciting way towards the later part of the season.”

Fey, who guest starred as Diana St. Tropez in the first three episodes of the season, is also expected to return in the second half of the season. During an Oct. 30 appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Martin revealed that Fey is reprising her role for another episode later in the season.
