S. Epatha Merkerson, Miranda Rae Mayo and Jason Beghe Weigh In on the NYC vs. Chicago Pizza Debate
Welcome, everyone! We’re thrilled to have you here, and we can’t thank you enough for making our network shine. Your shows are a massive hit, and when you succeed, we all succeed. Now, let’s dive into some fun.
New York vs. Chicago Pizza
First things first, let’s settle a debate: New York or Chicago pizza? Hands down, it’s New York! The crispy crust, the perfect cheese-to-sauce ratio—it’s unbeatable. Sure, deep-dish has its fans, but why all that extra dough? What are they hiding under all that sauce and cheese?
Polar Plunge Madness
Speaking of crazy things, has anyone here done the Polar Plunge in Chicago? You have? Wow, that’s brave! I did it once, jumped into the icy Lake Michigan in my suit—no wetsuit. It was so cold that everything froze instantly. I swear I heard bagpipes when I got out. Turns out, there were actually bagpipers there, but for a moment, I thought I was a goner!
Celebrating “One Chicago” Shows
Congratulations are in order! “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire,” and “Chicago P.D.” have been renewed for another season. Your shows are fantastic, and you all appear on each other’s shows, creating an amazing universe. Miranda, you described the sets perfectly: “Med” is like a sophisticated dinner party, “P.D.” is a bit rougher, and “Fire” is a circus—loud and vibrant, just like a real firehouse.
Long-time Collaborations
Epatha, you’ve worked with Dick Wolf for 32 years, from “Law & Order” to “One Chicago.” Your partnership clearly works, and NBC is definitely not mad at him either!
Surprising Fans
It’s always heartwarming to know who’s watching. Charles Barkley is a big fan of your shows, dedicating his Tuesdays and Wednesdays to binge-watching. Even Dr. Fauci and his wife unwind with “Chicago P.D.” It’s moments like these that make all the hard work worthwhile.
Season Finale Teasers
As the season finales approach, fans are in for some intense drama. On “Med,” Goodwin faces the dilemma of a dangerous prisoner with dementia, all while navigating a new love interest. On “Fire,” the episode titled “Never Say Goodbye” is a tribute to Chief Boden, featuring a thrilling rescue and the revelation of a new member’s secret. As for “P.D.,” get ready for a mind-blowing surprise that might just be the best episode ever made.
Cheers to More Success
Before you head back to Chicago, let’s have a slice of the best pizza in New York from Joe’s. Cheers to another successful season and to the incredible stories you bring to life.
Thank you, S. Epatha Merkerson, Miranda Rae Mayo, Jason Beghe, and the entire “One Chicago” family. Don’t miss “One Chicago” Wednesday at 8 p.m. on NBC. Stick around for more excitement on “The Tonight Show”!
