Bonnie Hunt Talk Show in the Works?

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, NBC, Syndication

Bonnie HuntThis is great news for 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.

Megan Mullally Back on the Small Screen

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC

Megan Mullally Never fear, Megan Mullally fans—she’s coming back to the small screen! Don’t worry, her short lived talk show didn’t get renewed, but she will be making a guest appearance on Boston Legal. She’s only scheduled to appear on one episode, but this should give fans enough to hold them over until her next acting gig. She will appear later this season as an ex-girlfriend and former co-worker of Alan Shore (James Spader). No word yet on when it will air, but it’s certain that the dynamic between her, Shatner and Spader will be fantastic. And get this, ABC says that her character, Renata Hall, will make a grand entrance, “as she dashes down the courthouse hallway wearing a bloody wedding gown, carrying a bloody pair of scissors and proclaiming her innocence in the murder of her betrothed.” Classy. Mullally, of course is famous for playing Karen Walker on Will & Grace, for which she won two Emmys. She was also nominated five other times.

Weighing in on Megan Mullally and Rachael Ray

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Syndication

Rachael Ray Well, now that I’ve caught a bit of both Megan Mullally’s and Rachael Ray’s new daytime offerings, it’s time to weigh in. I have always enjoyed Mullally’s character on Will & Grace and find her very entertaining when she’s on other talk shows. So, she definitely has a likability-factor. She’s quirky and fun, nice but not too nice, and has a lot of energy. Overall, I found her to be delightful (at the risk of sounding old-fashioned), but I do think she has to find her groove. There were a couple of moments on today’s show with guest Eva Mendes, where I found she could have interjected more into the conversation. Her interview with Jenny McCarthy yesterday was fun though, and I find her show opening to be interesting enough.

Rachael Ray also has a lot of energy—and perhaps too much! I’m wondering if they will tell her to scale back the intensity because she is over the top with enthusiasm. I do watch her Food Network 30 Minute Meals because I enjoy cooking, but have never been able to stomach her other shows on the Food Network. With her new talk show, it’s almost unwatchable—perhaps because of her mile-a-minute chatter or just the fact that she is so completely overexposed. Food TV shows, cookbooks, magazine, daytime talk, guest appearances… just too much of Ray for my tastes! The Hollywood Reporter is even calling her show “potentially annoying.”
