Video: ‘The Bonnie Hunt Show’
Warner Bros. Targets Talk Audience
After gaining a rep as one of the best talk show guests on television, Bonnie Hunt will aim to bring that magic to her own series in “The Bonnie Hunt Show.” Debuting Sept. 8, Ms. Hunt finally brings her relatable comedic point of view to her own daytime talk show.
“We are taking a very specific focus on marketing Bonnie,” said Ken Werner, president of Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution. “We are moving to reach women who are home between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. who have a specific psychographic point of view where we believe they would relate to Bonnie. She has a distinctive voice and point of view that fills a hole on daytime schedules.”
“The Bonnie Hunt Show” will be taped daily so Ms. Hunt can offer her unique perspective on the day’s events. From entertainment and pop culture to the news, Ms. Hunt will talk to her audience and crew about anything and everything that’s on her mind. “The Bonnie Hunt Show” is produced by Bob & Alice Productions and paraMedia Inc. in association with Telepictures Productions and is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
The series will help anchor the NBC O&O stations group, with additional affiliates that include stations from Hearst-Argyle Television, Gannett, Belo, Scripps, McGraw-Hill, Allbritton Communications, Fox, Young Broadcasting, Grey Television and Media General, among others.
Ms. Hunt has served as a writer, director and producer and, as an actress, has received Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations. She earned critical acclaim in film, television and theater for roles in films including “Jerry Maguire” and “Finding Nemo.”
“Bonnie Hunt is an iconic personality and a proven entertainer with a distinctive comedic voice and point of view,” said Telepictures Productions President Hilary Estey McLoughlin. “She is the quintessential everywoman with an authenticity, likability and relatability that will connect with the daytime audience.”

Dear Bonnie, LOVE your show......
but you need to keep the guests on longer..........
Blair Underwood is so handsome and you could have talked to him for a little longer.
Also the fellow that plays the Mentalist.
He is so handsome and you barely talked to him.
Still love your show.....but keep the guests on longer.
Glenda Baggett
Dear Bonnie, Your show is incredible because of your tender heart and the love it contains. Your humor is a delight... a precious gift!! I look forward to watching you after a long day at work! May you stay on as long as you wish!!!

COFFEE MUG ANSWER.
I used to sell those coffee mugs at an art gallery in Laguna Beach, CA. The artist name is Don Swanson and I believe his ceramics come out of Arizona. The rose design that is placed atop the handle on each one of his mugs is a signature trademark. His decorative floral vases have beautiful designs just like his mugs. All of the mugs we sold were the same style of various colored florals with gorgeous rose designs. I noticed this right away while I was watching an episode of Bonnie Hunt. I sold his pieces from 2004 - 2006 and I wondered if anyone else had noticed his mug on the show. Last time I checked we sold the mugs from $39 - $45 dollars and I believe they are still available on their website.
http://www.pacificgallery.net/ and click ceramics.
These are functional but decorative mugs only, no dishwashing or microwaving. Enjoy!

Brenda's dog on

a "pound puppy", Pepper, our granddaughter chose
when suffered the loss of her beloved, Sunny, a redsetter to cancer. Heart break for sure.
Our daughter in Texas found a coal black poodle
left on a country road and, "Jack Black" that is
another KEEPER.
Pepper is only 6 months old but looks to be the size of Brenda's dog that a picture was shown today. When they bottle feed a choclate brown 3 week old cal, Pepper, is right there to clean up her chin from the overflow. I guess you have to be there but it's great!!!! Meme
