"We're thrilled to have Citi join us as Presenting Sponsor for our Paley@Home series, that includes our Paley Education@Home remote education programs, and our exciting new Paley Front Row Series," said Maureen J.

"We're honored that at this challenging time we can bring our entertaining and insightful programming to television fans to enjoy from the comfort of their homes, and offer important educational resources and classes that are informative and easily accessible for teachers, parents, and students."

The upcoming Paley Front Row is a series of new, original programming with the stars of current shows discussing their work, offering insights and anecdotes. The first selection will be IFC's Brockmire: The Final Innings - A Conversation with Hank Azaria and Amanda Peet. Brockmire follows a famed Major League Baseball announcer who suffers an embarrassing and very public meltdown on the air after discovering his beloved wife's serial infidelity. Hank Azaria (Jim Brockmire) will be joined in conversation with Amanda Peet (Jules James) and Alan Sepinwall, Chief TV Critic, Rolling Stone. The conversation will be available on the Paley Center's YouTube channel starting on May 4 at noon EST, ahead of the series finale airing May 6 on IFC at 10:00 pm.

"We are looking forward to a great conversation ahead of the series finale of Brockmire and are so excited to be the first conversation featured in this new series of discussions from the Paley Center. The last time Jim Brockmire made a television 'first' he was arrested and not allowed back on the air for a decade," said series star and executive producer Hank Azaria.
