On tonight's episode of "That's Kentertainment!", host Ken Kleiber bids adieu to Grey Gardens with interviews and live performance highlights featuring Matt Cavenaugh, Erin Davie (who extol the virtues of Grease 2 and tell whey it should come to Broadway), plus musical moments with Christine Ebersole and Bob Stillman as well.

"We also say good bye to the iconic and legendary Tammy Faye Messner who passed last week but will be remembered in all of her glory in highlights from a 2003 appearance with Scott Nevins and featured on 'That's Kentertainment!.'  Join in the fun as Tammy serenades us with 'Disco Jesus' and tells about the time she actually thought she MET Jesus himself!  Also featured on tonight's show is Nikki Blonsky from the new musical film Hairspray and a behind-the-scenes look at how she got cast as the lead, Tracy!  All this and quick cameos from John Tartaglia and drag diva Sweetie make this a 'That's Kentertainment!' not to miss!," state press notes.
