Tyra Banks has announced that she is ending her Emmy-winning talk show in 2010. Meanwhile, the queen of the daytime talk show, Oprah Winfrey is ending her iconic show after 25 years in 2011. Who will give Ellen a run for her money now? The wrestling industry has always been home to charismatic, kooky and downright entertaining stars over the years. Surely those are the ingredients needed to carry one’s own talk show, too? Here are our suggestions for America’s next talk show queen!
Awesome Kong — ‘The Awesome Kong Show’
She’s already the baddest Knockout in the playground — just ask any of her opponents, but I get the impression that she’d be just as hardcore given her own talk show! Kong, like Oprah, is a perfect example of female empowerment which seems to be the main theme of most of these shows. As for Kong’s unique selling point — think Oprah with a little Judge Judy with a dash of Jerry Springer. Kong could have guests come on her show to discuss important issues and solve their problems with Kong’s word as law. And if her guests get out of hand, all she’d have to do is smack them back into line! There’s no need for the security guards like on Springer! Now that equals ratings right? I think it’d be exciting just to see what crazy thing Kong will do next.
Maryse — ‘Maryse’
The sexy French-Canadian Diva may be better suited to a late night phone-in show if you know what I mean, but who better to sex up daytime? Maryse’s talk show would feature a set that is made to look like a fancy boudoir, her guests would all be sexy celebrities and her take on issues such as health, beauty etc. would be far different than those dished out by Tyra! ‘How to last longer in bed’ and ‘Cover up your roots’ may not be as world peace-like as Oprah’s show but Maryse seems unapologetic enough to pull it off! Besides, who wouldn’t want fashion and beauty tips from the gorgeous pin-up?
Follow the cut for the rest:
Mickie James – ‘Mickie & Friends’
Mickie James is celebrated as one of the most homely and down to earth Divas in WWE history — you can picture being friends with her. Hence why her talk show wouldn’t just be a talk show, it’d be like having a friend in your living room on a daily basis! Mickie & Friends would see Mickie with special guests talking about issues in the news of that day, all the while displaying her sensitive side. Features could include Mickie meeting fans of her/her show and making their dreams come true as well as cookery segments with Mickie sharing recipes with her viewers! Aw!
Trish Stratus – ‘Trish’
Like Mickie, Trish has always exuded a warmth that it seems easily conceivable that you’d turn on the TV to watch her everyday. She has a fun sense of humour and injects life into all that she does. Her talk show would be more like Ellen, relying on her humour and fun personality. On her show, Trish would have a mix of celebrity guests while also having fun comedy skits and because she’s quite adventurous as seen in her travel show, she would have in-studio prize challenges for her studio audience while also trying new challenges herself with the help of experts. Perhaps she could even show off her yoga!

As a huge Maryse mark, I immediately voted for her. But the description of her show, is too boring. Like I wouldn’t watch it about fashion, etc. But Kong’s show sounds funny, so I’d watch that.
I voted Mickie and Friends! I think it will be great to see Mickie do this stuff not only that but she can entertain us all with her singing too :D
I could just imagine Kong having one though, after seeing her santa segment a few days ago im sure she will make her guests feel….welcome with a uh cuddle? :S nah thats not Kong at all. An Awesome Bomb sounds like the better welcoming hehehe :P
Obviously “The Awesome Kong Show” would be the best, I also wouldn’t mind watching Trish or Maryse host a show, but Mickies voice is annoying to me for some reason, she always sounds like she’s going to burp at anytime, her positive energy is infectious, but Kong is the most charismatic out of all the girls put together.
PedroPedroso17 haha you made me LOL! I can just imagine Mickie letting a burp out haha how humiliating LOL
Oh gotta love Mickie!!! :D
It was either Maryse or Trish but Trish seems better, only because of the comedy skits etc.
Great article, would’ve liked to see more options but still great, where do you get the imagination and/or the time?
For Starters I woundnt choose Maryse she is annoying as it is , second Kong is a mute she never talks , I dont want to ask her a question and she just looks at me as if im a punching bag , i mean the women just makes sounds and attacks u. So that leaves Mickie & trish…narrowing it down i choose Trish
Of course I voted Trish! :) Kong’s hilarity is just too great too pass up,though!Watching Maryse would e funny,especially if she used bad grammar since she’s French,or if she started cursing in her first language. :)
Mickie & Friends??Oh God,it sounds like a childrens show!
My Idea:
Melina Perez-’The Hellcat’s Corner’
Melina and a host of other crazy personalities would discuss serious life issues as well as celebrity life issues.Each would have their own distinct ‘type’ of personality,with Melina playing the “Queen Bitch” of all late-night (Bye bye,Chelsea)At least two comedy skits would be shown throughout the show,and games/interaction/debate with the crowd would make the show come alive,and annyone who disagreed with Melina would get their asses handed to em’!
This feature was great,and I think you guys should make a second part if you have time in the future.
Kong or trish
i would love to see Kong come in and deliver an implant buster to some redneck…..
oh wait i can see that on TNA …..oh well i still like the idea of Kong’s show
I think Mickie and Trish should do a show together. But I voted Trish. Kong’s show doesn’t interest me and maybe I would watch Maryse.
LOL @ The Hellcat’s Corner.
Kong is so entertaining in her tweets that I’m sure she could do a one-woman show no problem–no audience even needed!
ReyStyle94-I try,I try…
I voted Trish because I feel that she has the time to dedicate towards such a project. Awesome Kong is definitely my favorite tweeter, though.
I voted Other because Daffney needed her own show.
It would be called “House Of Insanit-D!”
Unlike other other shows it would take place in a S&M dungeon and during interviews Daffney would whip guests with a crop until she got her question answered to her satisfaction. :)
Trish having a talk-show would be good, but Kong’s would be EPIC!! I’ve seen her Twitter like a lot of you here. Kong having her own talk show would be a riot! LOL. :)
I honestly voted for Kong. I can’t picture it. It will be soo surreal haha.
I think you could have a show like the view featuring the WWE divas. You could have mickie, melina, jillian, eve and maybe maryse. These divas have the personality and charisma to pull it off. Not sure on a title tho.
I’d love to see all of those, but the one I could see the most is ‘Mickie & Friends’
If I were to have an idea, it would be a The View/Loose Women(for those in the UK) – style show with the divas/knockouts :)
i voted the awesome kong show:)!
The Kong show sounds awesome!!!
I will also do a show just title “The Beautifull People” with Angelina, Velvet and Madison on it.
They will talk to women about beauty issues and give them makeover and ect.
