Show Tailored for Laughter, Health, and Wellness Aims to Challenge America’s Talk Show King
hiburan, not politics” is the mantra for a new talk show aiming to dethrone the long-reigning queen of daytime television.
Comedian and actor Rob Schneider, known for his roles in films like ‘Deuce Bigalow’ and ‘Grown Ups,’ as well as his time on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ is taking on a new project: a talk show designed to offer viewers a refreshing alternative to the political hotbeds often dominating daytime television.
Schneider didn’t mince words, calling his new venture, “a polar opposite” of the long established “The View.”
“It will be the opposite because this will be entertaining,” he explained,
Schneider has previously with a verbal jab at the popular ABC talk show “It’ll be funny. We’re going to have funny women on it that are gonna tell jokes and have funny stories — and health and wellness,” and much more.
.”
He promised the show, which does not yet have a title, will be focused on laughter, not outrage. “We’re gonna compete with The View,” he declared, “We’re not trying to just bring people who are angry and bitter and reinforcing their political echo-chamber. We’re going to have an entertaining show with people for entertaining people all over America.”
“People are sick of it,” Schneider opined of the forced political discourse prevalent in many daytime talk shows.
Those looking for politically charged conversation, he asserted, “They can get that anywhere. We’re not interested in that ”
“You Can Do It!”.
“People don’t want to have the politics,” he continued. While there’s no official launch date yet, the project is already generating buzz.
