I've seen her on the morning show and she's pretty hot.

Did not realize Freddie Highmore was British. He does a great American accent.

that may be, but she SUCKS as a hostess. Her constant nervous giggling, her SHOUTING, her repeated attempts to try and get the cast and crew to divulge season 2 spoilers, and her obsessive fanboi (well, girl) behavior was downright off-putting.

I so agree with you, she really got on my nerves being that loud. And the way she was gushing over every little thing was a big turn-off. She might do better if she tones it down some but otherwise I'll stop tuning in for the after-show.

"Bates Motel: After Hours" Returns for Season Two Finale
5/1/14

A&E is reviving special talk show "Bates Motel: After Hours" for the drama's May 5 finale.

The post-show discussion, which saw a one-off airing timed to the March premiere, will air at 11 p.m. on Monday immediately after the finale of the sophomore series.

Like the original installment, "After Hours" has lined up executive producer Carlton Cuse and the cast (Vera Farmiga, Freddie Highmore, Max Thieriot, Nestor Carbonell and Olivia Cooke) for the live special.





The first airing of "After Hours" fared well in the ratings, though it did not get a direct lead-in from its parent series. The March 3 premiere fetched 719,000 viewers after an episode of the now-shuffled "Those Who Kill".

For its part, "Bates Motel" is averaging 4.1 million viewers in the latest live-plus-7 returns. And with 2.4 million adults 18-49, it remains A&E's biggest scripted effort in the key demo.

It's third season will launch in 2015.

I thought the new host was MUCH better.
