"NBC Bay Area's Janelle Wang appears to have gotten the tipoff about the special appearance, and she did an interview with Chu who is a Palo Alto native that was set to air on the station Thursday during the 5 pm news broadcast (and maybe again on the later one)."
"Erivo and Grande similarly appeared at a Los Angeles event that followed a screening of the film on Tuesday night though at that event, they actually sang live."
