Lexington, Ohio Sisters to Compete on Nickelodeon's 'America’s Most Musical Family'

LEXINGTON, OHIO -- The Heichel sisters have been singing together since they were children, but now, joined by their youngest sister, they are performing in front of the nation.


Madi, Bella and Ana Heichel are featured on the new Nickelodeon TV show, "America's Most Musical Family." The competition show makes its debut Friday at 7 p.m.

Madi, 19, Ana, 17, and Bella, 12, will be featured on Nickelodeon's America’s Most Musical Family, which premieres on Friday, Nov. 1, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nick in the U.S. and YTV in Canada.

The new music competition show features 30 musical families from around the U.S. and Canada. The program will consist of 12 hour-long episodes, as well as a 30-minute special episode. Production on the program began in Los Angeles in July.

The winning family will get a recording contract with Republic Records and a cash prize of $250,000 in partnership with Capri Sun.

"We are extremely excited", Madi, the 2016 Miss Ohio Outstanding Teen and 2019 Lexington High School graduate, told the Richland Source. "It was incredible to meet the judges. They are amazing musicians."

The show is hosted by Nick Lachey, a 45-year-old American actor, singer, and television personality. He rose to fame as the lead singer of the multi-platinum-selling boyband 98 Degrees, and later starred in the reality series Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, with his then-wife, Jessica Simpson.

Judges are Ciara, Debbie Gibson and David Dobrik.

"Debbie Gibson is such a beautiful and amazing musician," said Ana, a senior at Lexington. "And Nick Lachey (from Cincinnati) calls us his hometown girls."

Madi and Ana are not new to musical success. Both sisters have a social media following of close to 2.5 million people collectively on all their accounts. Ana won Miss Ohio Outstanding Teen in 2018.

Bella is a 6th grader at Eastern Elementary in Lexington.

Still the sight of their fan base is still a humbling moment, Madi said.

"It touches your heart in a different way in person than on social media," she said. "When followers see (you) on stage and scream your name it means something different than them liking or sharing your posts."

"This is such an amazing and overwhelming experience," Ana said. "One thing that has stood out is that you have to be a family and you have to be musical. It's been a magical experience and I truly believe this show unites families."

Melissa Joan Hart Brought Back Sabrina the Teenage Witch (and Salem) - With a Twist

It's officially Halloween, which means there's no better time to bring back one of TV's favorite witches. On Wednesday night, Melissa Joan Hart reprised her role as Sabrina the Teenage Witch during a sketch on The Late Late Show with James Corden, but she underwent under a little re-branding, turning the iconic character into "Subpoena the Teenage Witch" with an unexpected courtroom power.

(Did you know that James Corden (Gavin & Stacy, Cats) is also a Nickelodeon star? He once guest starred in an episode of the Renford Rejects!)

Corden recreated Sabrina's famous living room for the sketch, which featured Hart in character as her former teenage self. She even reunited with an old friend — Salem Saberhagen the cat, voiced by Nick Bakay (Angry Beavers) once again. In the skit, Sabrina tries to share a glass of wine with her sassy cat, but rather than conjuring up some Chardonnay as intended, she keeps getting court documents instead.



Enter Corden, who plays her cousin James teleporting in from Washington D.C. to explain her, uh, interesting new power. Sabrina (or now, Subpoena) has the ability to serve a subpoena to anyone and summon them to court, including people like Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, and Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

Once Corden explains that people are able to not respond to the requests, Sabrina realizes her new power is a dud. "A power people can just choose to ignore sounds like nothing," she said. And even Salem agrees. Corden tries to convince Sabrina that it's important, but eventually gives up — and finally gives her that glass of wine.

The sketch was quite a throwback and likely the closest thing to a Sabrina the Teenage Witch revival that fans will get, especially in the wake of Netflix's modern reboot Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. However, the original cast gave their blessings to the stars of the new reboot before the show's 2018 premiere, so all is well in the world of teenage witches. The OG Sabrina The Teenage Witch cast did reunite at L.A. Comic Con in 2017.

Another classic Hart show was also planned to make a comeback. In March 2018, the actor was reportedly in talks to reprise her breakout role of Clarissa Darling in a Nickelodeon revival of Clarissa Explains It All. However, Hart explained in April 2019 that the reboot was "on hold" for now. "I don’t know what’s going on with it," she said. "It’s up to the writers in the show, and the producers, and then the network, what they would want."

Unfortunately, Hart has now confirmed that the Clarissa Explains It All reboot, in which Clarissa would play the mother of the family, has been cancelled. When asked about the revival in an interview with Parade, the No Good Nick star revealed:

"[...] executives over at Nickelodeon changed and they shelved it, so I don’t think it’s going to happen. I know people would like it to happen, but it’s a tough one to bring back because it’s very precious to me and to the show runner. It’s a hard thing to revisit, you know? You can really mess up the memory of it if you do it wrong. So, it’s scary to me."

After watching the clip, I think we can all agree that the world needs more Salem Saberhagen.
