Twentieth Television will produce (not Sony, like Lake's previous show) with a possible debut of fall 2012. Details such as carriage (broadcast, cable, or a combo are all being looked at) are still being worked out.

Jenny Jones must be furious!

I think a lot of people want a piece of that pie that Oprah is giving up. I'm looking for
Ellen to make the most of it, since she is on at 4PM just like "O" is. I expect a lot of
places will be moving their Wendy Williams and Dr. Phil type shows to 4PM. Then you
have others like Atlanta who are just going to expand their local news an hour.

Its nice to see Lake returning to Daytime TV. Can't wait to see who picks her show up (besides the Fox O&Os).

I posted this previously...

Why now? Granted, the last time I saw her on tv she looked fantastic, but why now?

I finally got my answer:

...Wendy Williams...

Ricki Lake is making her comeback at the right time.

Wendy Williams is dreck!

Is she making her comeback at the right time? Canceled soaps with more talk shows airing...she's competing with other talk shows rather than competing with soaps!

She would have been stronger as the alternative to a soap rather than the alternative to another talk show...wouldn't she? Too many talk shows...
