Florence Pugh talks new series 'East of Eden'
Among the morning shows, the busy channels were elsewhere. TODAY and CBS Mornings both ran ahead of their usual pace, while Good Morning America drew a good deal less than it normally does, a little under two-thirds of an ordinary day.
Fifteen uploads went up, and the biggest share of the attention went to Florence Pugh. GMA cut her visit into several pieces: one on her new series 'East of Eden', one on reading the book, and a lighter one about who she would invite to a dream dinner party. John Steinbeck's 1952 novel was famously filmed in 1955 with James Dean, so a new screen version has a long shadow to step out of. The main interview is the channel's fastest video right now.
Close behind it is a news story: skydivers talking about jumping to help after a small plane crash. Shemar Moore, long familiar from 'Criminal Minds' and the original 'S.W.A.T.', dropped by for 'S.W.A.T.: Exiles', and a viral breakfast bowl trend rounded out the morning. After a stretch led by storms and a Family Feud toast, this time it was a book on the page and on the screen.
