Megan Mallully not as funny as "KAREN"

Does it bug anyone else that Megan Malally (sp?) from will and grace is NOT FUNNY!!

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

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.

Glad ya like it..I sure cracked myself up

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
