Fran Drescher Gets Her Own Talk Show

[MarcB]

I'll say one thing about Wendy Williams. IMO she does TV better than radio. The now-defunct POWER 104.1 in Hartford carried her radio show and it was an awful listen.

I believe her radio show itself is defunct. I don't think she's on the radio anywhere at the moment, choosing to concentrate on television.

Drescher's talk show trial started the day after Thanksgiving, and debuted to "surprisingly strong ratings":

I find her annoying and attractive at the same time. This is good for a personality based show.
No doubt she is a "character' and a real (if cartoony) slice of reality , and there a LOTSA people who can identify with
her, whether it's real or schtick.

I have seen VERY LITTLE of her work, but enough to think she could be a lot more effective as a host than Joan Rivers.
I'm not a TV watcher, so I'll never see it anyway.

....Last TV viewing was.....early September?

If Fran Drescher can get you out of your personal TV hiatus, then more power to you. Whatever works...

The same can be said of the Progressive Insurance spokesperson - but will have you thinking only the latter of these adjectives before long!
