The first part of "America's Next Top Model" cycle 22 finale aired on Nov. 13. The second part of the finale will not air on Nov. 27, Friday. Instead, The CW will air "Kung Fu Panda Holiday" in time for Black Friday.
Directed by Tim Johnson, "Kung Fu Panda Holiday" was written by Jonathan Groff and Jon Pollack. The comedy animation film runs 21 minutes only and it features the voices of Jack Black, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Dustin Hoffman and Angelina Jolie, who is set to chair a film festival in Cambodia, BBC reported.
"Kung Fu Panda Holiday" also features the voices of Seth Green, David Cross, James Hong and Dan Fogler, Jonathan Groff, Conrad Vernon, Tom Owens and Susan Fitzer among others.
"ANTM" cycle 22 episode 16 titled "America's Next Top Model Is..." is set to air on Dec. 4 on The CW. The episode will pick up from the first part of the finale, which ended with Tyra Banks and Kelly Cuttrone's announcement that they are eliminating two of the four remaining models right before the runway walk.
Still in the running towards becoming America's next top model are Nyle DiMarco, Mame Adjei, Mikey Heverly and Lacey Rogers. In the second part of the "ANTM" cycle 22 finale, one guy and one girl will battle it out to become the 22nd and the last winner of the reality modeling competition show created by Banks.
Months after announcing that "ANTM" cycle 22 will be the final cycle of the modeling competition, Banks also announced that she is leaving her new show "FABLife" as she is turning her focus on her makeup collection called Tyra Beauty. She explained in an interview with USA Today that she cannot run a business and do a daytime talk show at the same time.
