Well, they wouldn’t listen to her brilliant PSA idea. 🙄. Meg would rather keep complaining than do something helpful. 

I missed it - what WAS her brilliant PSA idea?

This is a good article about the masking debate today.

WHAT????? 

Does she (or her "people") even hear how ridiculous that is? Good grief.

I agree with Sara that booing is rude. 

In most cases, I'd agree. I am 100% behind booing The Princess!! 😉😝😂

I wasn't familiar with Emmanuel Acho until he hosted the Bachelor finale. I thought he did a wonderful job.  

I worried that his suit was going to pop off due to the strain on the fabric.  It will be interesting if he wears something that fits.

I liked it when Joy said that wearing a seat belt was never politicized like wearing a mask.   I have never understood the fake outrage over wearing one. It is meant to protect others and yourself.  Has Nutmeg who claims to be a Christian forgotten that we are our brother's keepers.

Why did she shade Romney for having been pro-choice in the past and questioning his allegiance to being anti-choice..   Nutmeg is just weird and needs to go away.. 

I wondered the same - and I can't recall Meghan faulting Trump for having the same pro-choice views in the past and when he decided to become a Republican in order to run for President, his view on that topic changed to pro-life also.

Why is she allowed to interrupt Sarah but the rest of them have to zip their lips while MM is talking?  She's ruining this show for me.

• That ship has sailed.
• And sunk.

Ok well now we know she is vacc'd.  So that's all of them isnt it?  So why can't they go back into the studio?

I think Whoopi and Joy have a lot of power over production. If they say no, then it's no.

(If this is true, I don't think it's right.)

It's probably Take a shot if you get a shot. 🤣  Y'know kinda like Israel's slogan, but not.

 

[catlover79]

What's the over/under that The Princess gets a timeout tomorrow? Not that it will do any good, it never does.

Whoopi said something in today's show about not being comfortable going outside yet, despite being vaccinated. I really can't blame her.

Yeah. I'm vaccinated, but still nervous about being out among people. I've seen so few people in person over the past year, I'm in hermit mode.

[LetsStartTalking]

Well. all I can say is it was worth slogging through the first 53 minutes of the show, and the puckering up Whoopi, Sara*, and Sunny did to Billy Porter's ass (as predicted) , just to see Adam Glassman at the end - in his Oprah's favorite face-lift - pushing Oprah's favorite truffle oils and eye cream.  I mean, one can not have enough truflle oil in one's pantry, and on can not have enough eye creams in one's medicine cabinet...can they ?

 

*Sara told Porter he looked "fabulous" in his outfit on the red carpet last week at the Oscars. Again, she told him he 'looked fabulous' as they showed a photo of him on the red carpet. Sorry, but if that man walked down the street in public towards you, looking like that, the last word anyone would use to describe him is 'fabulous'. Most people would cross the street to get away from him.

MyFather's daughter wanted to be the spokesmodel for Republicans getting vaccines to get one before her age group became eligible.  But Ivanka already did that and only in MeAgain's mind does she speak for all Republicans. MeAgain would probably turn people off, especially since she has been flip flopping and saying incorrect things on The View about vaccines, so why would "her tribe" listen to her now?

Sending you virtual hugs, @tinkerbell!! It's weird, because my job is considered essential and I was part of the 1A group that got vaccinated early - I've been out there, and now that I broke a bone in my foot I've barely left the house these past two weeks. I do feel isolated (and I'm an introverted homebody by nature) and afraid to go back to my regular routine when the time comes. Whoopi and the rest of the cast have been at this for over a year, so I can only imagine how daunting returning to the studio and eventually an audience must be.

Good on Sunny for shutting The Princess down as best she could. Not only is Sunny a lawyer and a doctor's wife, but this disease is personal to her. She lost her parents-in-law to COVID-19, and from what I can gather she loved them very much. I don't blame her at all for being upset.

There's no reason Meghan couldn't tape herself talking about the vaccine and putting it online. She could even buy time and put it on TV. She has money.

I dont know how effective it would be. But its better than whining.

That top, that hair, that makeup... whoever they have styling Meghan McCain really, really, REALLY hates her, don’t they?

I heard it was "Get shit-faced and fuck the libs".  I unsure why Joe Biden didn't jump right on that. But there is still time, so...

One of my favorite things about Sunny is how family oriented she is. I think both her parents now live with her too. She has a big heart.

That top looks like a nightgown from the 1800s.

When everyone else was dissing Noem, MeAgain had a sour face. Joy even called her the new Sarah Palin. Ouch!

MeAgain touted a Noem/Hawley ticket just before the 1/6 insurrection and then after Hawley's fall from grace, she deleted that tweet.

She said that Sara was lying about SD and people dying from Covid still denying they had Covid. Why didn't anyone accuse MeAgain of lying when she said the White House was calling people morons and hillbillies for not getting vaccinated?

I was going to say it looked like something my grandmother would wear, but I’d never insult my grandmother like that.

The color was bad, but the style was so unflattering. When you have large upper arms with broad shoulders and a weak chin (no shade on Meghan, I’m built that way myself) you generally don’t want a top with a tight high neck and a lot of volume in the sleeves. If she’s choosing her own wardrobe she needs to hire a stylist. If she has a stylist, they hate her and she needs to hire another one.

Yeah, this is really a no-brainer. No big shoulders, always a v-neck. We have seen her in outfits that flatter. It's not that complicated. But this again points out how really stupid MeAgain is. She will say crazy embarrassing shit, and she will wear horrid outfits and hair-do's because...she's a "rabble rouser" and doesn't care what anyone thinks about her.

It is hard for me to believe she doesn't care, when she then complains how vilified and attacked she is.

[RealHousewife]

I don't know guys. Maybe she loves how she's styled!

I've been forced, via a community with a lot of people who do the bare minimums with social distancing, to confront this for most of the Pandemic. The first 6-8 weeks I could avoid humans, but it became impractical eventually. It might be different if I shopped on large enough batches to have everything delivered... but I don't.  So Supermarkets every few weeks, and people routinely continuing to be unmindful, has been my reality. I mean even a large store gets pinched in the aisles when people don't care, and in the lines leaving, nobody pays any attention to the six foot marks.

I hope she does a lot of it herself, so we can confirm she hates herself...

All I got for getting my vaccine was the knowledge I have done my part in keeping myself and the people around me safe.

One employee confirmed for me they actually have people who show up every single day for them. Geez.

I went out to eat for the first time in over a year after I was fully vaccinated last month and it felt weird.  I didn't like it.  I guess I will go back to cooking which in all honesty I enjoy much more.

There are stores I have been purposefully avoiding because they get so crowded.  

When the do eventually come back to the studio I doubt they will have an audience at first.

[2JEWELL]

Just watching yesterday’s show.  This is not the first time I’ve heard MegaMouth say that the White House is calling conservatives dumb hillbillies.  What is she talking about?  And the messaging about the vaccine is not horrible.  We’ve all been given the information.  The horrible part is what people like her are acting like.  She expects the POTUS to coddle them?  Ask them nicely?  Hold their hands and praise them for being brave? Give them a sucker afterwards?   It worked with my kids when they were two year olds😂😂

The Talk has been back in studio since September and they still don't have an audience. Is Wendy the only daytime host now with an audience (albeit limited and distanced)?

[Haleth]

What a boring episode. The Gates divorce, the Royals, and Sunny’s book.  Zzzzzzzz

[2JEWELL]

Did she just say that The Queen is a legacy?  In the context she was speaking, I think she meant to say “the Queennis a legend”?     Good Lord!  There used to be an old comedian, Norm Crosby.  They called him “the King of malaprop” (or something like that) because he intentionally used the wrong words all of the time.  That is who she reminds me of!

Wendy's audience is made up of her staff, whom she works with every day on her show. She's still not allowing the public to come in to the studio.

Yes.  Norm Crosby.  I didn’t enjoy watching him and I enjoy Meghan even less.

Sorry, but I just don’t like Elisabeth Warren either.

[LetsStartTalking]

I can't believe we're half-way through the show, and Whoopi hasn't said "May the Fourth Be With You" like she's done most every year since 2008. Unless she's saving that gem for the end of the show. It's so original every year.

That's the only way to watch The Wendy Williams Show.  The closing credits are the best part.

Whoopi, I'm so disappointed in you. So disappointed...no "may the fourth be with you" this year. Terrible - just terrible.

 

And couldn't they have delayed that cute (in a nauseating way) tribute from the staff's kids to their moms on Friday - a bit closer to Mother's Day ?

[statsgirl]

I cringe when the show starts talking about the British monarchy because they treat it like a reality TV show instead of as the head of state of several countries.  Queen Elizabeth is the sovereign of 15 countries including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Jamaica, and the former head (now Charles) of the Commonwealth which consists of 54 countries. That's why they get more attention than the King of Bahrain, not because they've got good PR people.

It feels disrespectful to weigh the government of more than a dozen countries based on whether William and Kate are exciting to the hosts. William's grandfather lived till he was 99. By the time William is approaching that in 60 years, there may not be a Great Britain. In 2081, there may not be an Earth as we know it.

For weeks, including yesterday, Meghan has been saying that it's the WH's responsibility to convince Republicans to get vaccinated. Today she asked Warren how Democrats can convince Republicans that child care is important. Why does she think that it's the Democrats' responsibility to get Republicans to accept reality rather than the Republican leaders?

The bigger question is why do they need convinced of things that should be common sense?  Meghan is always blaming Democrats for not doing something they shouldn't have to do.

Yes.  When the republicans in power have been adamant that they will NOT cooperate with President Biden, when they vote as a group against anything he does, and then (most of them)  refuse to acknowledge that he won the election and is the legitimate president, how are the Democrats responsible for CONVINCING them to do anything?  Meghan is denying the reality of the situation. 

[KittyQ]

The discussion of the Royal Family showed several odd perspectives among the panel. The Royal Family "got rid of" the people who were interesting? My impression is that Harry and Meghan chose to opt out, and they weren't so much "interesting" people as they were gossip-fodder. The other comment (Joy, I think) suggested that Meghan Markle was going to update the Royal Family - it seems pretty obnoxious to take it upon yourself to "fix" somebody who hasn't asked for your help. I also suspect that the RF will get along just fine without a lot of outside help.
