"The Wanda Sykes Show"
It seems like there's a glut of new talk shows these days. Last month "The Mo'Nique Show" debuted, this weekend "The Wanda Sykes Show" premieres, and two days later "Lopez Tonight" follows suit.
When Wanda described her new show in a recent interview, she said it's like "'The View' meets Howard Stern." Her weekly Saturday night series centers on a panel of colorful guests talking about current events. George Lopez says he'll set himself apart Monday through Friday, by doing the whole thing outside, with a street-party atmosphere. Shakira's band will provide the music for the standing (not sitting) audience members who will take turns playing the role of sidekick.
Mo'Nique's nightly combo talk/variety show became the top-rated program of the season for BET by drawing 1.5 million viewers its first night on the air. Wanda and George are hoping they come out of the gate as strong as Mo'Nique did, while she's hoping her numbers stay up. Even if her talk show doesn't work out, she'll most likely land on her feet, with all of the Oscar buzz for her new film, "Precious."
Time will tell if any of the three will have the success and longevity of the heavy hitters who've been on the air for years or if they'll follow in the footsteps of the flops buried in the chat show graveyard. Here's a look at some of the worst talk shows in TV history.

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

Not only were there awkward silent moments during his idiotic stint, there was no one willing to change his diapers on a regular basis..

Sharons show was awesome... it's a shame that her show wasn't given more of a chance, she was lively, funny, and more interesting than watching Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's hour of crapola!

I've never seen anything other than a couple of fights that Tony Danza was in that were worth watching... even though he got the crap beat out of sorry butt..

The spike Feresten show was/is pretty terrible, can't believe that show 'replaced' the great mad TV. And let's not forget jimmy fallon, his dorky schtick was bad enough on SNL, don't know how any stands watching that every night.

What about the Arsino Hall show? That show was badddddd I remember watching it maybe 3 times and turned it off because of the type of guests he had. he really wasn't that good. I also remember him saying that he was going to "Kick leno's A$$!" What ends up happening? Arsino gets cancelled and doing spot segments on the Leno show...Now that's funny!
