Bonnie Hunt Talk Show in the Works?
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, NBC, Syndication
This is great news for Bonnie Hunt fans (which I count myself among)... she’s currently working on developing a talk show. Anyone who’s ever seen Hunt as a guest on talk shows knows she gives great interviews. Then again, I’m not sure how this will all turn out. Yes, Hunt has appeared in many films and been great (okay, I’ll forgive her for Cheaper by the Dozen 2), but she’s also tried time and again to get a variety of television series off the ground only to be canceled—remember Life with Bonnie or The Bonnie Hunt Show? Nope, didn’t think so. So, how will a talk show work for the actress? Will she flourish a la Ellen DeGeneres or wither away like Megan Mullaly? I think she’s got the chops to do it (after all, she’s filled in for David Letterman without incident), but I’m not sure she has the huge appeal of an Ellen. Not even sure she can compete with the powerhouse that is Rachael Ray—although I’d much rather see Hunt interviewing the stars than Ray with her super grin and cheesy questions. Bonnie Hunt’s show is expected to hit the air waves in 2008 on NBC. I know I’ll check it out and I hope others will give it a chance as well.

Star Jones Gets Gig at Court TV
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Cable, Cable/Satellite
Star Jones Reynolds is back baby. No longer tethered by Barbara Walters and her brand of bull, Star is running the show this time. Reynolds will host a talk show of sorts on Court TV, specializing in criminal justice and pop culture. Huh? Well, we’ll have to find out what that’s all about in the fall, when the show will debut. No details on the show’s title just yet. Reynolds has some experience in this area, having started her career as a lawyer and then as a legal commentator for Court TV in the early 90s. Her job as co-host of The View began in 1997, and well, you know how it all went down—after her contract wasn’t renewed last summer, she announced on the show that she would be leaving, making Barbara very grumpy. That was Star’s last appearance on The View. Of her new show, Star commented, “This is the perfect time in our culture to see how the law, politics and entertainment come together. Some people say it has been on a collision. I say it has been connected.”
