Talk Soup

when this show first came out,I never missed it. It would have a host (Greg,Joh,Hal or Aeisha) showing you the highlights...or rather LOWLIGHTS...of everything that had been on the talk shows that day. TALK SOUP was REALLY great if you had been at work and missed the shows. They showed you the wildest sample of the show they could find. (and,remember..this was before any of us had an inkling that the Jerry Springer show was anything but REAL TRUE stories!!!) I never missed an episode. First up was Greg Kinnear who was very cute and charming. You would watch and say "Damn. where can I find me a man like that??" when Greg Left to do movies John Henson took over. At first I wasnt even going to give him half a chance,but after awhile I warmed up to him and realized he was funny. Then HE announced he was leaving to do a show( did he??? I dont remember ever seeing it.) Then Hal Sparks (droooooooooool) took over.And once I warmed up to him and start to think he was cute ..guess what?? HE LEFT!!!(to do Queer As Folk,among other things). By this time I was very upset with the whole franchise. I loved Greg John and Hal and now they were gone. Then they brought a woman in to do the show and it just wasnt the same for me. This show is defunct now,which is a shame,because when it was good it was very good.

Is it the sarcasm, or is it the images where John Henson makes fun of himself and the celebrities?

Who knows, who cares!!!! This show is reaaaally funny, I watch it every time I can, I specially enjoy when they invite celebrities. 10 out of 10!!!!

By the way, why did Kinnear quit the show? He wasn´t that bad....

In my opinion, this is a pretty good celebrity skit show. I enjoyed seeing Greg Kinnear as the host. There are many reasons why I said that. Even though Hal Sparks was an okay host, I sometimes wish that Greg Kinnear hadn't left. If you ask me, it seems that nobody stays with a TV show throughout its entire run anymore. Still, I enjoyed seeing the various hosts and other people spoofing celebrities. If you ask me, that was pretty darn funny. Before I wrap this up, I must say that I kind of miss this show. Now, in conclusion, I highly recommend this show to all you die-hard sketch show fans. You will really enjoy it.

This is the funniest show that I have ever seen. I watch it twice a day and never get tired of it. John Henson is so funny, and this show deserves to win a lot of awards!

I started watching this show in 1993, when Greg Kinnear was its host. He was hilarious, and, when I found out he was leaving, I thought it could never achieve its former brilliance. I was wrong, because John Henson was even funnier. Unfortunately, they couldn't afford to pay him more than just peanuts, so he had to take off. They left Hal Sparks, who is not terrible, but is no John or Greg. No matter how much everyone hated Hal, he was far better than any guest host who's ever tried to host, every comedian under the sun, and the cast of Survivor (although I had long since quit watching when they started hosting).
