Hooray for "Hunt & Co."...she is real and has a natural communication/connection that is refreshing in this day of electronic mis-and/or unconnected non-hosts...may the success be a growing one for her and the show.

Bonnie Hunt is one of the most refreshing talk shows on TV. She keeps it real, is irreverant and direct, and very entertaining. My favorite hour on morning TV!

THE RATINGS BETTER IMPROVE!!!!!!!! THAT'S WHY THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE PRODUCERS!!!!!

That sounds like good news. I wonder if he'll have enough clout to get the guest list crammed with enough A-listers to keep the ratings up.
Bonnie is excellent and extremely funny, but a lot of people watch talk shows for the guests and not just the hosts.

It would appear that "they" are going to make the show just like all the rest: packed with vacuous celebrities with little to say and much to plug. This show is excellent because of Bonnie's interviewing skills and because it's different from all the other blathering on the airwaves today. I'm sorry to hear the tampering has begun.
