Hot Ones, Beetlejuice & ‘Spicy’ Debate Prep in Pittsburgh

Listen Later

The Democrats have been camping out in Pittsburgh ahead of tonight’s Presidential debate, and they paused briefly to visit Penzeys Spices. We’re talking about how folks have responded to all the attention on PA, plus there are a bunch of new films and TV shows you can watch featuring the Steel City and its people right now. We’re even counting Cam Heyward on “Hot Ones” and Michael Keaton on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

We always cite our sources:

  • Steelers DT Cam Heyward took on “Hot Ones” and shared his favorite Pittsburghese. 
  • During her stay in Pittsburgh, pro-Palestine protesters demonstrated outside of VP and presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ hotel. 
  • Harris visited Penzeys Spices in the Strip District. Penzeys owner, Bill Penzey, is staunchly anti-Trump, and there’s even a section on the spice store’s website dedicated to criticizing the Republican Party. 
  • Watch the presidential debate on ABC News Live at 9 p.m. Eastern.
  • Pittsburgh Film Office director Dawn Keezer is celebrating 30 years in the city. 
  • Check out the new sound stages being built in Rankin, and our No. 13 ranking in Movie Maker Magazine’s top places to live and work as a filmmaker. 
  • Dawn Keezer’s been on the podcast to talk about film tax credits, projects in Pittsburgh, and the film curse that we finally broke.
  • Pittsburgh-born Micheal Keaton and super fan Seth Meyers talk about their “irrational confidence” as Pittsburgh sports fanatics.
  • “The Pitt,” an upcoming medical drama is filming around Allegheny General this week, but the studio’s getting sued by the estate of “ER” creator Michael Crichton. The lawsuit alleges that “The Pitt” is a reboot of “ER” made without permission.
  • Prefer reminiscing about old TV shows instead of watching new ones? City Paper looked back at some of Pittsburgh’s reality TV stars.
