After and before images of Roger Ebert's face shortly after his surgery. He'll debut his prostethic chin on his new PBS show.

It’s safe to say that Roger Ebert is one of the best-known film critics of all time, and unfortunately, he’s become more well-known in year’s past for having most of his jaw removed as a result of his bout with thyroid cancer in 2006. His illness and the resulting complications kept him off of TV since then, but Mr. Ebert now plans to return on PBS with a new show called “Ebert Presents at the Movies”. He’ll have two other co-hosts that will run most of the show, but the new Roger Ebert face will debut in a small segment during the show. With the help of Scottish engineers, and the huge archive of his previous TV appearances, Ebert also plans to use a computer to communicate that is able to simulate his old voice to an uncanny degree. Regardless of how you feel about his film advice, it’s still pretty inspiring to see the man persisting in his trade.
