Back in May, it was announced that Jenny McCarthy would be getting her own talk show. Not only that, it would be produced by The Golden Touch herself, Oprah Winfrey. Jenny started out with a blog on Oprah.com, and it sort of took off from there. Jenny has promised that she will not be writing any more books about autism, but she has committed herself to being a lifelong autism advocate, and many thought the talk show would be an extension of her advocacy work. When most of us heard that Jenny had inked the talk show deal, we thought “Crap. Every show will probably be about autism.” I’m not making fun of her, or mocking her son or anything, but a daily talk show where that’s the only topic would not be a watchable show. But it seems that Jenny wants the show to be like The Daily Show, and she views herself as a Jon Stewart-type… with boobs.
Deep-six that “bubble-chested bubble-head” image – blonde bombshell Jenny McCarthy hit showbiz gold when OPRAH signed her to debut a new TV talk show next year, and the “Playboy” motor-mouth told My Spy the exact note she hopes to hit with viewers…and “blonde Oprah” ain’t it!
“I want to do a daytime ‘Daily Show,’” gushed Jenny. “If Jon Stewart had boobs and conquered women’s issues instead of politics – that’s exactly the template I want.”

Except that Jon Stewart does have boobs/moobs. A little bit. He’s a perky A-cup, bless his heart. I love him regardless (and I would love to see his moobs, seriously), but I’m just telling the truth.
So… can Jenny pull it off? Can she show intelligence and humor about a wide range of issues? Maybe. I enjoy her interviews, even if I don’t always agree with her. She’s very funny, passionate and engaging – which are words I’d also use to describe Jon. Here’s hoping she pulls it off!

na, jon stewart, comon. hes the best of the best. not even is he funny as hell hes also a razor sharp intellectual brainee.
If the show only last a couple of minutes .She gets annoying after 5 minutes.
Ha! What makes Joh Stewart great is his intellect and his sense of humore. She has neither.
She’s a pretty airhead nutjob – not sure how long she can milk that for …
I am the mum of an ASD child and I will only watch if she keeps her trap shut on autism – unless she advocates for services for kids and adults and quits spouting on about “recovery” and who’s to blame …
Oh, and Jon Stewart she ain’t!
I like her, but she could never have the intelligence, wit, charm, or impeccable comedic timing.
Yeah, and Jon Stewart graduated from William & Mary. A very prestigious and highly competitive university.
Jenny McCarthy does not have a college degree. She graduated from the school of Playboy Centerfolds.
Personally, I feel that college helps people formulate logical arguments and reasoning skills. I like my talk show hosts to have both of those qualifications.
I actually like Jenny McCarthy. I’m not sure about the science on her autism theories, but her heart is in the right place. But John Stewart…has she shown any ability to talk about politics? ever?
well, first she’ll have to add about 80 points or so to her IQ.
But see, Jon’s humor is smart and not annoying.
She is starting to get those chest freckles from over tanning.
That looks like a Heather Mills dress she’s wearing in the photos.
God I cant stand her harping on about her personal ‘cure’ for autism. You know thats all she will focus on..
I can’t stand her non stop Scientology babble. At least Jon Stewart is funny.
Scientology has a cure for autism because it does not acknowlege mental illness exits, look what it did for John Travolta’s autistic son.
I’ve never understood why she thinks her child’s autism was caused by vaccines, when there is absolutely ZERO credible evidence of any sort to back up that claim, but it never occurred to her that (a) breast feeding an infant with breast implants might have contributed (I have no medical evidence to back that up, but it’s every bit as valid a theory as hers) or (b) sometimes things happen that just have no explaination.
I hope she doesn’t intend to use her show as a platform to promote her unfounded and potentially dangerous theories.
Wow, a lot of hate. A lot of catty-flavored hate.
Always liked her.
John Stewart is a product of his writing team. If she can put together the same she could probably do well. I personally think we have enough yakking shows and reality shows too.
She is so low and cheap.
She had to show her ….to get some money and attention.
Stick your tongue out and cross your eyes, that’s the extent of your comedic talents, Jenny – other than your absurd 1950’s superstitions about immunizations.
GAH! Another talk show! Spare me!
I think she should go back to her “Jenny McCarthy Show” format on MTV. REmember that? Funny skits and stuff? Huh? Yeah? Am I too old?
Hi ? extremely fantastic website you’ve created. I enjoyed studying this posting. I did need to write a remark to tell you that the design of this internet site is extremely aesthetically pleasing. I utilized to get a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor. I have constantly loved doing work with pcs and am trying to find out code in my spare time.
