Every so often, there is an article saying the old kind of talk show isn't possible now. In the oldest kind of talk show, you only had the choice of that or two other channels!

The talk show, as a genre, has been in decline for a while. It started with Jerry Springer, when the talk shows suffered a metamorphosis, going from the real and social issues to the hair-raising.

When I go on 'The View,' or any of those talk shows, you really don't get to say what you want to say.

It's better if you have a strong opinion on any talk show.

My feeling is talk shows have not kept pace with the breakthroughs and changes in format in television generally.

Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up.

If this whole acting thing doesn't work out, I'll just get a talk show.

I'd actually rather have a talk show in Australia than even America; I hope I do end up with a talk show.

To me, talk shows are those things during the middle of the afternoon where the underbelly of society is made to look like Middle America.

Reality TV is a totally different animal than the infomercial world.
