Marissa Jaret Winokur Developing Talk Show

Posted By: Bridget On: May 12, 2008 Comments: ( 0 )

Annoyingly cheerful Dancing With The Stars celeb Marissa Jaret Winokur is developing her own daytime talk show.  The starlet recently signed a development deal with Sony pictures to host a talk show with plans to air in the fall of 2009.  Apparently there was some sort of bidding war between studios for the bubbly Tony award winner turned reality star.

I, personally, am shocked that anyone thinks a full hour of the over the top sunshine of Mrs. Winokur is a good idea.  The thought of watching that program makes me want to gauge out my ears with a sharp stick.   Marissa has proven to have some staying power and fan base on Dancing With The Stars, but I question her ability to have a dedicated audience.  Let’s be honest-she’s no Oprah…and talk shows are, like, hard.  Chevy Chase failed, I think Megan Mullally failed, Pat Sajak failed…the list goes on and on.  Worse yet, another Dancing alum is also in development for a talk show.  Yep, Alyssa’s all time favorite contender Marie Osmond is also floating rumors about a gab fest.  I would love to see the two of them go head to head…on second thought, I would rather not watch!!!
