Kate Gosselin's Pilot for New Talk Show Scrapped (She was Considered too Edgy) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 12-24-2009, 02:09 PM

Kate Gosselin filmed a pilot for a new talk show, but high-level executives reportedly shelved the project, deciding the TV mom is too controversial for their airwaves. A source told RadarOnline.com that the show, with co-hosts Paula Deen, Lee Woodruff and Rene Syler, is still being shopped around to other buyers but it doesn't stand much of a chance.

The Momlogic pilot has been described as 'The View' for working moms, tackling issues like teen pregnancy along with lighter gabbing. Apparently, Gosselin was not only too edgy for the executives' taste, she was simply "not ready" for a full-time hosting job.

Food Network star Paula Deen was the intended star of the project, and exces were concerned that Gosselin's year in the tabloid's would upset the balance. "There was a lot of arguing," the source told RadarOnline.

Fear not - Gosselin will be back on your TV sets before long. Though TLC has yet to finalize the concept, the cable network has committed to a new show starring Gosselin in the spring.

I bet the real reason the show was cancelled was that the studio executives saw this...

That's enough to unnerve anyone.

...were born to be talk show hosts; some just "fit the mold"; some are talked or convinced into fronting (or being a part of) them, and others get involved with them almost by accident.

Kate Gosselin is none of these. You don't give someone a talk show because they have a sudden notariety that executives believe they can translate into high ratings and higher advertising revenue. IF this were so, Amy Winehouse would have had her own series by now. Don't get me wrong, the idea for "MOMOLOGIC" is sound, and Paula Deen would be welcome as a part of any talk/service format. But not with Kate, oh, no...no no no NO!!!!!!!!!

Do you know who I think would be a great co-host for Paula Deen in this venture? Florence Henderson. Not only is she one of the best known and loved TV moms in American pop culture, she has 4 kids of her own AND talk show hosting experience to boot (she co-hosted the short-lived Later Today).
