Kourtney Kardashian Kris Jenner Talk Show

KRIS JENNER WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HER TALK SHOW A HIT

The first week of Kris Jenner’s talk show pulled in enough viewers to keep producers happy, but don’t jump to conclusions. The curiosity factor drew a hefty audience but it’s actually the next few weeks that tell the tale. Ratings can drop off enormously if people watching didn’t have a favorable first impression. (We weren’t bowled over, were YOU?) We expect Kris to become more desperate as the weeks go by. Oh, and if you heard the rumor that Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are getting their OWN show, (heaven help us!) sources at E! say is isn’t true. Yet.

Kris Jenner Ryan Seacrest Talk Show

KRIS JENNER’S HAVING TROUBLE GETTING TALK SHOW GUESTS!

This we can believe. Kris Jenner’s talk show is set to debut in July and she’s having a terrible time booking guests! She considers herself to be a well connected Hollywood insider and was completely astonished when every A-list celebrity she invited to appear either refused or simply ignored her request! She’s not as popular as she thought she was. According to Star magazine she turned to her business partner Ryan Seacrest to use HIS influence to book celebrities, but so far he isn’t having much luck either. Maybe Kanye West will help her out.

Howard Stern Jimmy Fallon Talk Show

HOWARD STERN MIGHT CHANGE LATE NIGHT TV FOREVER

If Howard Stern takes over Jimmy Fallon’s timeslot as a late night host when and if Jimmy replaces Leno, it will be a first. Late night talk show hosts have almost without exception been experienced standup comics, and occasionally improvisational comics. While Howard is undeniably funny, he’s no joke teller, so his show will be radically different from what we’re accustomed to, and that might be a good thing – or a bad thing. We know he’s great at interviewing celebrities, but is that enough? Probably. We have a feeling Howard will be a breath of late night fresh air.

Andy Cohen Autism Jenny McCarthy Medical Drama Talk Show Vaccination

JENNY McCARTHY’S VH1 TALK SHOW IS PROBABLY NOT A THREAT TO OUR HEALTH

At long last, former Playmate Jenny McCarthy has been called out for her unfounded medical beliefs. A Canadian cancer charity canceled her appearance at their event because of the dangerous and absurd medical notions she promotes. Jenny believes that vaccinations cause autism and hyperbolic chambers prevent cancer. A surprising number of gullible mothers trust her opinion. She publicizes her ideas relentlessly even though they have nothing to do with science or reality. Now that Jenny has a talk show on VH1, she COULD do even more damage. Fortunately, Jenny’s show has already been described as a rip-off of Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens: Live” so hopefully the subject of health will never come up.

Canceled Ricki Lake Talk Show

HER TALK SHOW IS CANCELED AND RICKI LAKE COULDN’T BE HAPPIER!

#rickilake #janetcharlton
Ricki Lake’s wish was granted Monday – her talk show was CANCELED! Ricki has been very unhappy with her show – the ratings stagnated and she felt the content was beneath her. After having a hit talk show aimed at young people from 1993 to 2004, Ricki expected her new show to have more substance and A- list celebrity interviews like Katie Couric’s show. When Ricki returned from Christmas vacation she actually told the audience she DREADED coming back to work and disliked her show! Her unhappiness showed in her attitude and she made staffers miserable. Today when the show was canceled, jobless staffers were in tears but Ricki was fine with it. Kris Jenner’s talk show will move right into Ricki’s space.

Jersey Shore Talk Show

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED? JERSEY SHORE’S VINNY GOT HIS OWN SHOW

#vinnygaudagnino #janetcharlton

During the first season of Jersey Shore, Snooki became a household name, and The Situation, with all his idiosyncrasies, became the breakout star and started earning millions with many business opportunities. The youngest cast member, Vinny Gaudagnino, 25, was the quiet one. Now it’s HIS turn to shine – according to Deadline.com MTV is producing a reality talk show series “The Show With Vinny,” and he’ll interview celebrities at this family’s Staten Island home. (Did you know he has a college education?) Food and his eccentric family members will be prominently featured. SallyAnn Salsano, who created Jersey Shore, is producing so it looks promising.

Kardashian Kris Jenner Talk Show

CAN KRIS JENNER SUCCEED WITHOUT HER DAUGHTERS?

#krisjenner #janetcharlton

Many of our readers seem to have developed a powerful dislike for anything Kardashian– so this will make them gag. According to Deadline.com, Kris Jenner is negotiating with Fox to have her own talk show! (That’s funny – we thought talk show hosts had to be well liked!) Kris has been DYING for her own show and Fox is thinking of giving her a chance this summer with a six week test run. Wendy Williams and Bethenny had successful summer test runs that launched their shows, and Kris figures she can do the same. (Above, Kris and Oprah)

Kevin Hunter Talk Show Transsexual Wendy Williams

WENDY WILLIAMS HAS A HAPPY HUSBAND

#wendywilliams #janetcharlton

“Queen of all Media” Wendy Williams adjusts her sexy black dress while walking out of Mr Chow in Beverly Hills – her husband Kevin Hunter looks on in amusement. All dresses are short when you’re 6’2”! Wendy’s talk show is a hit (renewed to 2014) and so is her marriage despite her husband being quite a handful. He’s been accused of sexual harassment by employees and of having a predilection for trannies. Apparently Wendy’s perfectly happy with him however, and that’s what counts. He’s a lucky guy.

Bethenny Frankel Ratings Talk Show

“BETHENNY” AN EASY PICK-UP

#bethenny #janetcharlton

Bethenny Frankel has finished filming her six week trial talk show and gone back home to New York, but she doesn’t have to be on pins and needles. The show is half-way through its run on six Fox stations so it’s on the air for three more weeks. Ratings dipped after the high rated first week, but not enough to jeopardize the show. Viewership is UP for the time period, especially among women from 18 to 49. Fox won’t make an announcement until the end of the run, but Alex Ben Block of the Hollywood Reporter says it’s a cinch for renewal. That means Bethenny will most likely have to uproot her family and leave her new Manhattan apartment and move to Hollywood!

Arsenio Hall Aubrey O'Day Celebrity Apprentice Comeback Lisa Lampanelli Talk Show

ARSENIO HALL PARLAYED CELEBRITY APPRENTICE INTO A SHOWBIZ COMEBACK

We were happy to see Arsenio Hall turn out to be the winner on Celebrity Apprentice. Happily, neither of the smart but mean spirited women, Lisa Lampanelli or Aubrey O’Day, came out on top. When his talk show went off the air in the mid 90’s, Arsenio disappeared. During his heyday, he palled around with Eddie Murphy and they ruled the club scene and made funny movies. When that ended Arsenio dropped out of sight and we’re betting he felt forgotten by his showbiz friends. So it was nice to see him resurface on Celebrity Apprentice and use it as a way to get back in the spotlight. It worked. He’s got several offers for another talk show and seems thrilled with it all.
