[Medicine Crow]

Bummer re Tuesday & Wednesday.  Today's show not so hot ... not a fan of Raven, so ....

[UsernameFatigue]

I watch the show sporadically, but must say that I loved Jerry's birthday celebration today. It was so nice that the producers went all out for it, he deserves it. I really think that Jerry was the catalyst for the start of the turnaround for the show. 

The clothing was  hilarious, and reminded me of the awful fashions of the 80s. The details were fantastic, right down to Natalie's fanny pack. So funny.

I love that Jerry and his wife are such animal lovers. Unlike Jerry's mother, 6 dogs and 5 cats (or was it the other way around?) sounds like heaven to me. And that they rescue animals in need makes me respect them even more, as opposed to buying purebreds. 

In any case the show was great, and Jerry was very deserving of the celebration. He is such a kind and funny guy. I also loved that he danced in the audience at the end. I have noticed that often when they go to commercial break and are still showing the set while commercials are on, Jerry is up and interacting with the crew and or the audience. No one else does that.  He is a gem.

I agree. Jerry is very good for this show. Sometimes he is a bit too manic though.

His energy works a lot better on a panel show like The Talk so there are others to keep him from getting too out of line. He can get kind of overwhelming when hosting a show by himself. I like him though and have for a loooong time. When I think about how long I start to feel old...🙃

[Medicine Crow]

Well, I hate to be the Debbie-Downer/Turd in the Punch Bowl, but I did NOT enjoy the show.  I thought it was over-the-top silly, frenetic & a waste of my time.  (Sorry!!)

[rmcrae]

I didn't see the entire show on Thursday, but did catch Sheila E teaching Jerry how to play the drums which was funny.

 

Speaking of feeling old, I can't believe My Girl came out 31 years ago (damn those bees! 😪). Anna Chlumsky looks the same.

I tuned in yesterday  saw Sheryl and she looked so great. 

I love the show's new energy but I miss Carrie anne though. I think she would have cliqued with this group.

Sharon Osbourne and her odious daughter are still trashing the show and Sheryl.  I wish that they would both go away.  Sharon is blessed with millions so she will never be without. Not too many people who have ever lost a job could say that..

Imagine Carrie Ann and Jerry cutting up together. Lol.

I saw Sharon's comment to TMZ on (soon to be Sherri Shepherd's) Wendy's show this morning and just 🙄. TBF she was asked about it, but it wouldn't have killed her to just say she wouldn't be interested in coming back (as if CBS would ever entertain the idea) and keep it moving, but she's too bitter and nasty for that. Good riddance, Elphaba. 😁

I have been hit or miss on watching lately though thoroughly enjoy the show when I do have time to watch, I have tuned in the last two days to get the hosts' take on the whole Will Smith debacle. Both days have been great IMO, and I especially have found Sheryl's comments as a  comedian enlightening. 

I loved today's comments from pretty much all of the hosts that Smith's "apology" sounded like it was written by a lawyer, and that it should have been a video taped apology. Mind you Smith is an actor so he could have faked sincerity, but as Jerry said the written statement basically did not convey remorse (my words).

Just out of curiosity, what was her take?

I almost need to watch it again, because there were so many good comments from all of the hosts. Two things I remember Sheryl taking about specifically, One was that as a stand up comic she is now afraid that someone may take exception to a joke she makes and storm the stage (to paraphrase). Kathy Griffin said the same thing the day after the assault. The fact that the academy did nothing when it happened, or even after, certainly does not look good. And the longer they take to give Smith some form(s) of punishment, the worse they look.

Sheryl also said that what bothers her is that everyone is talking about Will Smith, and no one is wondering how Chris Rock is doing. She if very bothered by that, as he is the one who was assaulted. Amanda pointed out that Chris has yet to make a statement, but it does not mean that people cannot express concern over how he is. I hope he is busy writing a ton of Will and Jada jokes for his upcoming tour, Apparently ticket sales have gone through the roof since Sunday night,

Thank you--that makes a lot of sense coming from a standup background. You always hear about hecklers but not really anyone getting violent with comedians.

Too bad I didn't check this thread, I would've liked to have seen how Paula would've done on this show.

Thank you!

Joan Collins is an an icon. That should be an interesting interview. She's 88 now!

[Medicine Crow]

Did anyone catch what Amanda had written on her jacket?

The interview with Joan Collins was cut short for a Sheryl Underwood commercial for Metamucil ... LOLOLOL.

[rcc]

Stupid Sheryl "infomercial". Not funny at all. Dame Collins was a very good interview.

I was trying to figure out today’s interview with Jerry and his wife Rebecca. Sometimes, they seemed close and sometimes not. 
 

There was a surprisingly long segment regarding her ex (John Stamos). 
 

I wonder why? It seems to me that would be very awkward. 😵‍💫

[GloccaMorra]

Looks like 'The Trainwreck', I mean 'The Talk' was completely snubbed by yesterday's Daytime Emmy nominations.

I caught the last few moments so I missed that part. What did she say about him?

The awards show that hasn't been regularly televised the last five or six years? Oh, well. 

Natalie cracked me up with her "awkward mom" dance during Montell Jordan's performance. Lol.

Thanks for the info.  I didn't know she was married to John Stamos.

Yes, that one (not sure what having it regularly televised or not has to do with anything, but...).  That's the award show voted on by the television academy which they were snubbed - not one nomination. The voters are smart.

Seems like not having it televised every year like all the other awards shows means it might be losing its relevance. I don't care about any award shows so they're all irrelevant to me anyway. The show's been renewed for another season so they (The Talk) are probably more focused on continuing to improve rather than smarting over being shut out of the awards. 

Also this is the same awards show that nominated the dreck that used to be The Wendy Williams Show the last few years so I personally wouldn't call them "smart", but different strokes, I guess.

The morale at an all-time low with no nominations for the show, cast, or crew.

I missed most of Friday's show, but caught the bit at the end where they walked back to "civilization" and it kinda looked like it might've been shot at the studio's back lot.

I thought the interview was so awkward. I wondered if they just had a fight but trying to get along for the sake of the interview or something. I am a Jerry fan and hope all is well with him and Rebecca.
