ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis has lined up a week of guests and news features that includes Jack Quaid, Barbie Ferreira, David Oyelowo, Cory Booker, and more. The program will stream weeknights at 7 p.m. EDT on ABC News Live and will continue covering politics, entertainment, business, and global issues.
The schedule runs from March 30 through April 3 and pairs celebrity interviews with Prime Focus segments that spotlight major current events and public-interest stories. The lineup also reflects the show’s mix of culture and hard news, with guests discussing new projects while correspondents report on topics ranging from federal spending cuts to NASA’s Artemis II mission.
Monday’s lineup opens with film and politics
On Monday, David Oyelowo appears to discuss Newborn, while U.S. Sen. Cory Booker joins to talk about his book Stand. ABC News Live also plans a Prime Focus segment with Peter Charalambous on newly released deposition videos from former DOGE staffers and the department’s broad spending cuts.
The mix of guests suggests a format that balances entertainment and public affairs in the same half-hour window. That approach has helped the program position itself as a nightly destination for viewers looking for both celebrity interviews and context on fast-moving news.
Tuesday brings Jack Quaid to the show
Tuesday’s episode features Luke Tennie from Shrinking and Jack Quaid from The Boys, two actors tied to popular streaming and television projects. The Prime Focus segment that night will examine NASA’s Artemis II program, which is set for launch in April and remains a key step in the agency’s return-to-the-Moon effort.
Quaid’s appearance is likely to draw strong interest from fans of the Amazon Prime Video series The Boys, where he plays Hughie Campbell. Tennie’s visit also extends the show’s entertainment reach, giving the episode a broader pop-culture angle before the science segment closes the hour.
Wednesday spotlights Barbie Ferreira and children’s media
Wednesday’s guest list includes Barbie Ferreira, who is set to discuss her films Faces of Death and Mile End Kicks. The episode also welcomes author and illustrator Mo Willems and The Pigeon for It’s My Bird-Day, adding a family-friendly segment to the night’s programming.
A Prime Focus report from Gio Benitez will take viewers to Alaska Airlines’ new training facility outside Seattle, where crew members practice responses to unruly passengers and cabin depressurization. The segment shows how the program uses field reporting to connect viewers with workplace safety and airline operations.
Thursday and Friday round out the week with more variety
Thursday will feature Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone promoting Pizza Movie, while Steve Osunsami’s Prime Focus segment will look at technology that may help diabetic patients reduce the risk of amputations. The report adds a medical angle to a week already packed with entertainment, politics, and science.
Friday closes the week with TikTalk featuring creator Jason Nguyen, giving the show a digital-first segment aimed at social media audiences. That lineup underscores ABC News Live Prime’s effort to reach viewers across both traditional news and online culture.
