She tells E! It's time for someone to curate all the stuff that's out there and it's just time to bring it back. I think we need it. The year-old says former-host Joel told her to just have fun with it, and she plans to! Viewers can expect her to shake things up with new sketches, guests, and beyond. We could all use a little laughter. For a long time, before I did stand up, I would go to these comedy shows, and every joke was putting down women and I would heckle.
And so I just hope to bring in people that never felt like they had had a voice. Yes, definitely that. What kind of news or content are you going to be talking about? More than ever, we have a lot more to pull from.
Originally the show was called Talk Soup because all they had was talk shows. And now we have talk shows, we have scripted stuff, we have judge shows, we have TikTok, which is its own category.
Also, Lifetime has been great. And the CW. How much of a hand do you have in picking out the content that you talk about or jokes you make on the show? I get to tell jokes, I get to act, and I get to host all at the same time. Oh, wow. I remember we were sitting backstage and people started stomping their feet and chanting my name.
It was like an out of body experience. And so I made a decision that I wanted to leave on a high. And then they made the decision to fold Talk Soup and bring it back to recognize reality shows, which had become the equivalent of talk shows. It was a very astute shift in focus on the part of [the] programming [department] to recognize that the currency of pop culture was changing from daytime talk shows to reality shows.
The new version of that is online, is viral videos. Talk shows gave way to reality, and reality is giving way to viral videos. I think the entire industry is changing. I had been on television for a year straight with my name under my face, which is invaluable in this industry. And they promised us they were going to put us on after Howard Stern , so we spent a lot of time coming up with a new concept for this show that was more pop culture-driven, that was more focused on current events, more focused on news, and we actually shot a couple of pilots for a show called The Soup.
And then on a Thursday, I got to work, and they told me the show was canceled, and it was ending on a Friday and we had one day to put together the last episode of the show. One day. The show was 10 years old — it had been this beloved cult hit for a decade. The show just went away abruptly. Shows go away all the time. Shows get canceled. They just have to give it a chance. In my stand-up and my everyday life. I hope to put a voice out there.
I just want to make it a funny show. Yes, but to be able to be who you are and have viewers turn on the show and see a version of themselves…. Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day. February 12, am. Logo text. Related Stories. With New Host.
