Lisa Whelchel Talks New Season of ‘Collector’s Call’ and Why There Aren’t More ‘Facts of Life’ Collectibles

Lisa Whelchel got her start as a cast member of The New Mickey Mouse Club, which aired from 1977 to 1979. She later starred as Blair Warner in The Facts of Life, which ran for nine seasons on NBC from 1979 to 1988. But today, she hosts MeTV’s Collector’s Call.

Each season, Whelchel travels across America, meeting collectors and exploring their fascinating passions. She enlists the help of professional appraisers and experts to assess the value of each collector’s prized items. Every week, there’s a twist—as experts attempt to entice collectors with a trade, offering them a coveted item that could be the perfect addition to their collections.
