Amanda Kloots OF THE TALK ON CBS

Ryan Seacrest hosts “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve”

Q: I’m seeing a lot of Amanda Kloots in commercials these days, and I enjoyed her movie “Fit for Christmas.” Will she be making any more films? A: It’s quite possible, since she has shown herself to want to give outlets to her creativity wherever she can find them. That 2022 CBS movie (which was repeated recently, and which she also co-wrote) came from a very personal place for Kloots, since her character in it incorporated the career she has had as a fitness instructor … so whether that aspect also would have to factor into any other films she makes remains to be seen. Also seen weekdays on CBS as a co-host of “The Talk,” Kloots used to be one of Radio City Music Hall’s famed Rockettes, and she has been in such Broadway musicals as “Follies,” “Young Frankenstein” and “Bullets Over Broadway.” She also was a Season 30 contestant on “Dancing With the Stars,” ultimately placing fourth in that competition – and also addressing the high kicks she performs in the current commercials referenced in this question.

Ring in the new year on Sunday, Dec. 31, when “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest” broadcasts live on ABC.

Kloots has done much to continue memorializing her late husband, fellow Broadway performer, Nick Cordero, following his death from COVID-19 in 2020. She met him while they both were in “Bullets Over Broadway,” and she has posted on Instagram about him often. She also wrote the memoir “Live Your Life: My Story of Loving and Losing Nick Cordero,” and she has a young son by him, named Elvis.
