ABC News Live is stacking the deck with a mix of headline talent, real-world stories, and digital culture flashpoints as ABC News Live Prime with Linsey Davis rolls into the week of May 26.
The nightly streaming newscast, which airs at 7 p.m. EDT on ABC News Live—the Disney-owned platform positioned as the top streaming news service in the U.S.—continues its blend of celebrity interviews, topical coverage, and original features via the Prime Focus strand.
On Tuesday, May 27, Ashley Tisdale stops by to talk Phineas and Ferb as the animated revival gains steam, while New Orleans rapper Rob49 plugs his new release Let Me Fly. The Prime Focus story that night shifts to brain cancer awareness month, spotlighting the experience of a 9-year-old living with the disease.
Wednesday’s edition pivots into the growing ethical and safety concerns around AI-generated influencers. Correspondent Nathan Smith reports on a creator who used artificial intelligence to replicate her likeness—until the experiment spiraled into unexpected and potentially dangerous territory. The guest lineup includes country up-and-comer Max McNown, pushing his track Night Diving, and Ana Huang, author of viral TikTok favorite King of Gluttony.
Joy Woods—currently starring in Gypsy—heads up Thursday’s broadcast, alongside Elias Weiss Friedman, better known as The Dogist, whose photography and new book This Dog Will Change Your Life drive the night’s TikTalk segment. The Thursday Prime Focus slot remains TBA.
The week wraps on Friday with singer-songwriter Charlotte Lawrence (fresh off the release of Somewhere) and Justina Machado, now leading the stage musical revival of Real Women Have Curves.
