Does it bug anyone else that Megan Malally (sp?) from will and grace is NOT FUNNY!!:mad: I keep catching her "talk show" here and there, and shes so freekin boring. I tuned in expecting to see KAREN who was my favorite part of will and grace, I allways hoped shed get her own show, or something, but they didnt give her a sitcom Which was a mistake, cause she is nothing like the character. IMHO. anyone else notice this painfully obvious observation?

She is positively BORING as a talk show host.

Nah - it doesn't surprise me - I've become used to this from funny tv ladies...I mean there are so many who I enjoy then I'll see them in an interview or something and BORING!

Megan M is one of them...
Courtney Cox comes to mind...

Ellen on the other hand was way entertaining and funny on her sitcom and remains so on her talk show...guess it depends on the actress :o

I didn't even know MM had her own show though...what channel is it on..or is it one of those syndication deals?

It's so funny that you are bringing this up! I just had it on while I was cleaning my apartment. I've seen her show a couple of times and it didn't really do anything for me, but I thought maybe it was because I wasn't interested in the guest, or some other reason. While it was on today I said to myself "This show really sucks", and I found myself wondering how long it would take for it to be cancelled.

It can't be any worse than Tony Danza's show...could it?? I saw that one a couple of times and pretty much wanted to shoot myself - it was so bad.

Yeah, I agree. I think that it's because on Ellens sitcom, she was basically playing herself. It wasn't really acting. I don't think the character of Karen is anything like Megan, and unfortunately Megan is kind of blah when she's just being herself.

Yeah, I had it on for 46 seconds once and couldn't take anymore than that. I think he started singing just as I frantically changed channels.

i think megan is trying too hard to come off as sympathetic, in contrast to karen. unfortunately it comes off as saccharine and BORING. i couldn't sit through more than half an interview before i had to turn her show off. it's a shame, because she is very talented. the talk show is just not a good platform for her.

Ugh. I watched one day and he had Jack LaLane on...the health guy? It was a train wreck -they were trying a juicer or something, but it was just sad - I think I made it through five minutes and had to change it.

it's a shame, because she is very talented. the talk show is just not a good platform for her.

That's so true - I think she's definitely a character actress..I just saw an old rerun of Wings she was on...she's so great ya know..when she's not being herself :lol:

I do remember her on Seinfeld - I didn't remember her on Wings so it was a nice surprise when I saw the episode - but I totally didn't recognize her...she used this dopey nasal voice...but I knew she was familiar...lo and behold it was MM...playing the town slut :lol:

Are you refering to the "professional friend" Gail?
Does that woman not have a life (aka: pride) that she has to be forever known as "Oprah's friend"?? :shrug:

And people.... PLEASE.... let's not forget that during the "you too can have a talkshow era"....
Roseanne
Carnie Wilson

Oh geez - but at least those shows stay on....though for the life of me I can't figure out why :laugh:

I remember toward the end of Sally Jesse's run every damn show was exactly the same...they were all about wild teens...those shows are pretty much all the same...

I had completely forgotten about Roseanne :lol:

Megan Mullally also had a bit part on one episode of Frasier. The one where Frasier & Niles take those two ladies (one of them Megan) up to the cabin.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: THere is just too much that I want to reply to in this thread...
first, any time ANYONE ever says the words.."CHEVY" "CHASE" I experience hysterical laughter,and NOT because he was a comedian.haha.
Second, GAIL, is the "professional friend*cough*lover*cough* allways amuses me . seriously, they are NOT kidding anyone.stedman, pu-leeze.
third, Megan not funny mullally was also on an episode of Third rock from the sun, and was hillarious. She even used a prototype of the now-pattented "karen" voice.
fourth, to whoever said she needs a stylist BAD was RIGHT!!!, SERIOUSLY, IVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH SECCOND HAND POLYESTER IN MY LIFE.

I miss KAREN......:distress:

well, afterall, it is not the karen show. I haven't watched it but I would imagine if you were expecting Karen, it would be disappointing.

I'll probably lose my gay card over this, but I didn't find Karen to be funny after about 7-8 episodes. I've never seen the talk show. Megan is extremely talented though, I saw her perform with the Gay Men's Chorus (may I please have my card back) and she was great.

I LOVE Karen.

I saw Megan on a tribute to Reba and she sang "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun" and I expected Karen to slip in here and there...but it was really flat. I mean, she sounded good, but no chemistry...

Well, after all, get back to me when youve seen the show :xoxo: , cause If
I was expecting it to be the "someone doing their taxes show" and tuned in to megan mallully........it would STILL be boring.:sorry:
And she IS extreemly talented. shes just not interesting.

Well, after all, get back to me when youve seen the show :xoxo: I would, but I am not intersted in seeing Karen or Megan. :shrug: I will take your word for it. I do wonder why she decided to do a talk show.

RR disturbs me since I read the notes y'all wrote about meeting her and what a total be-yotch she is. ewwwww.....

And please, we can't leave out the classic late night talk show wannabees:
Alan Thicke
Arsenio Hall
Magic Johnson
Pat Sajak
and the aforementioned Chevy

Tony Danza should NEVER be allowed before a camera again EVER!
I love Martin Short.... but a talk show? .... not so much :shrug:

I've always found her annoying, even on her three hundred food shows. She's a little more toned down on those ones, but why she even needs a talk show is beyond me. I can't believe they put her in Ellen's original timeslot! E should slap a ho for that one.

The character Karen was funny, but reminded me too much of my grandmother (the drinking, pill popping) so at the same time I was always a little put off by it. Never seen her talk show, but I don't own a TV. :D

knew it wouldn't be too long now ...

from televisionista.net:

NBC Universal has informed the staff of daytime talker "Megan Mullally" the show is officially canceled. Production of new episodes will cease effective immediately.

The first run syndicated strip hosted by "Will & Grace" star Megan Mullally launched in September 2006. Season-to-date it has been averaging a 0.8 rating.

The show will remain on the air for the rest of the month, airing a previously scheduled mix of original and repeat episodes.

"Megan" is the first syndicated freshman show of the 2006-07 season to get the axe.

God, I just can't believe it was that bad. I should try and watch before it goes off air. She's charming and warm and witty during interviews.
I'm so disappointed, I love her.

I so hear that. Also, she was badly in need of a stylist. Seriously, it was like she wanted to be the anti-Karen and it so did not work.
