Ellen DeGeneres dominates Day Time Talk Show TV. She is in a league of her own. Hey Ellen, save the last dance for me.
I love Ellen DeGeneres for her style and substance. She has good intentions. I get the feeling Ellen genuinely cares about her audience.
She is committed to her craft. I imagine her crew has nothing negative to say toward her. Ellen’s appeal reminds me of Oprah.
What is more, Hollywood respects her. Why else would they beg her to host the Oscars again? Ellen has had a long and prosperous career.
Really, she shows no signs of slowing down. She has a monopoly on her time slot. At the end of the day, I think she is so successful because she is down-to-earth.
Humility is her middle name. To be on the air more than a decade is a tremendous achievement. What is extraordinary with Ellen is her sheer brilliance at connecting to the audience.
She stays out of trouble. So she doesn’t have P.R. problems. Everybody wants to be on the Ellen show.
They should change the show’s name to Everybody Loves Ellen. She deserves an in-depth article on The Guru Jay Blog.Day Time Talk TV is nothing without Ellen.
Ellen blows the competition out the water like ducks. Who can challenge the Daytime Talk Show host? She stands alone in the crowd as a cougar among domestic cats.
If you want to survive you need a big meow. Also, you shouldn’t waste your time barking up the wrong tree. Whose talk show do you like?
Do you enjoy the cooking shows? The perky Rachael Ray reminds me of a younger Martha Stewart. She’s a sight to look at and can cook her ass off.
I like Rachael because she is properly positioned as an elite chef. Comparing her show to the Chew is no contest. First of all, like Ellen, Rachael is the captain of her ship. She doesn’t need an entourage to surround her in the kitchen.
Don’t twist my words. I’m not knocking the Chew. But, it’s unfair to put the Chew cast and Rachael Ray in the same weight class.
Here’s why: they’re playing two different sports. Hear me out. Tennis, golf and boxing are individual sports, whereas: football, basketball and baseball are team sports.
As a proud American, I admire rugged individualism. Still, variety is great.
Does anyone know what happened to Emeril Lagasse? The Big “Bam” Theory replaced him.
I digress. The point is we want competition because it forces us to do better…to be the best.
Dr. Phil is America’s psychiatrist. He dominates his market share. Of course, Oprah introduced him to the world 16 years ago. She played a major role in discovering Dr. Oz as well.
Here is an interesting article from ABC News. The story shows how Oprah made stars such as: Suze Orman, Nate Berkus and Iyanla Vanzant famous. This is more proof Oprah is a huge influencer inside and outside of Hollywood.
I can’t gloss over Maury and Jerry Springer These shows live on the cutting edge. They cater to an underserved population. They have lasted longer than expected.
My mom tells me the real reason is because they have easy jobs. People eat it up for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Check out these shocking ratings.
It seems Day Time Talk TV has gone to the dogs. Late Night television is way more interesting. It’s like the Wild West.
Arsenio Hall just got thrown into the mix. His show has been renewed for a second season. I’m sure he’s the worst nightmare of ABC and NBC.
Also, it appears Chelsea Lately is ending after seven seasons. Although I disagree with Chelsea Handler, I do feel we need a woman in this time slot.
Here’s an idea. Why not let Ellen DeGeneres produce a late show? She’s a good judge of talent. And, she is well connected.
Giving Ellen executive control is a win-win proposition. But, be warned! Late night television is a dangerous game.
I used to be a big fan of Conan O’Brien. I thought Jay Leno shanked him. I was wrong.
After watching O’Brien’s documentary, I now see that his big ego got in the way. He didn’t want to compromise. I was surprised to see how it all developed.
Furthermore, NBC is fully responsible for the Tonight Show travesty between Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien. They played the two against each other like pawns.
Late night television hosts have to swim with sharks. Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert will square off starting next year. David Letterman will go out on top.
Letterman chose a perfect time to retire. Colbert will come in and instantly cause problems for the two Jimmies. Late night ratings will spiral out of control.
I predict a steady decline of Jimmy Kimmel Live (JKL). Jimmy K. is good but he needs to be great. Here’s my rationale…
The arrival of Colbert will hurt the fat Jimmy more than the skinny. If I stand correct, the Tonight Show will beat the Late Show. And, the Late Show will beat the “Live” Show.
By the way, JKL is not a live event at all. Jimmy Kimmel Live is deceiving. If you ask me, it is false advertising.
We love live events. That’s why sports are so successful on TV. That’s why Larry King lasted 100 years on CNN.
So I suggest ABC change their late night show name. I still believe in Jimmy Kimmel’s star power. Ever since The Man Show he has always been associated with greatness.
Why am I mad? Well, what if Saturday Night Live taped their show on Monday morning? Now, do you understand?
JKL must adapt and reinvent in order to stay on top of the food chain. Act now before it’s too late. Otherwise, Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert will be the new Coke and Pepsi.
In the words of the Most Interesting Man in the World, stay thirsty my friends.
