I would love JM first thing in the morning. I don't think it fits for her schedule, but it is just such a well put on show, the times though make it really hard for me to listen live.

2nd option, I hate the show, but a View type format. A few hosts discussing different events. A Mom, a young and dating. maybe newly divorced woman. Just a good mix of people to get different life stories and different views on topics. That's what was so great about WU years ago, Taylor was sort of starting out in life, Victoria came from money & was married/divorced/gettingmarried (remember her never going to Walmart?!?! lol), Kenny lent the guy view. It was just such a good mix of people & personalities made for a dynamic show.

I love Sam's show, too much wrestling talk. His interviews are awesome, but yeah, don't care about wrestling. I wonder what happened to him? Him & Taylor used to do each others shows all the time.

That would be an interesting story!!  Remember Sam used to have his own show!?  Now he does morning's with Jim Norton. channel 103 @ 8am.  I listened to it the other morning on a long drive and while it was a lot of guy talk, it was funny.  Very howard-esque frat boy kind of talk though...not something I'm going to go out of my way to listen to daily.  

I'm with you!  I think a couple of girls and a guy in different life stages would be awesome.  Every once in awhile the mashup hosts get talking and I like it, but something is kinda cold about them.  Like they don't actually like each other off air.
 

Wider and Kenny for the mornign show!!  Or Carly could do it alone.  I like Rob, but it's a woman's channel, and he focuses on celebs and gossip. Needs more than him and he couldn't interview people without stealing the spotlight

I don't think Kenny would ever want to do another radio show like Wake Up- he has said on Open Wider that he is relieved he doesn't have to talk about or care about pop culture stuff anymore because he was never really interested in all that celeb gossip he used to have to talk about, it just doesn't interest him. He seems really happy with the Wider podcast and his comedy shows. I wish the FB page would leave him alone- they keep hounding him to weigh in on the situation or to hook back up with Taylor for a project, but I get the feeling he has no interest. 

No, and its just uncomfortable reading that stuff. Didn't sound like their friendship was very strong near the end, or has kept up since he's been gone. I would think they would have had her on the podcast if it was. A lot of bridges she's burned a long the way and its gonna come back to haunt her now.

Because for Taylor, people are "out of sight, out of mind". She has no use for anyone she has to make an effort for.

Michelle is on the Jenny McCarthy show FYI!

Thank you!!! I don't listen to JM because of her time slot  but maybe I will have to start listening on-demand.
 

It is such a good show! I wasn't interested when she started, figured she was a bit of an idiot and really high maintance. She is just the opposite though, she preps so well for interviews (like reads guests books!), has great questions, just very engaging and she's super down to earth. Best Friend Fridays is the best, so listen to todays if you can!

Agree!  It took a little while for the show to hit it's groove, but I love it now!  Jenny actually preps for her guests (imagine that!) and seems very humble and gracious.  Instead of bitching about her job, she says Sirius is the best job she's ever had... She loves that she's able to be herself on air and interact with listeners/fans. I love the interactions with Michelle and David, and I agree BFF Friday is best!
 

Yes to all of this! I listen every day on demand. The three of them are so different, but work so well together. 

OMG everyone. This show is miles ahead of WU in production value and Jenny is so much better to her listeners. 
 

Well, now you girls have swayed me to give Jenny McCarthy's show another try- I've tried listening a few times and I didn't like that much. But then, (and this is probably sacrilege to say) I hated Wake Up the first couple of years I had Sirius (back in the Victoria days). I would tune in in the car sometimes and thought both ladies were ditzy and annoying. Kenny was producing back then. Then a couple of years later I listened to it and by then Kenny was the co-host and then I loved the hell out of it. So I suppose it just took time to grow on me- maybe Jenny will, too......

This is what struck me so much about her, she is just so gracious with every caller. Like she really is thankful that everyone has taken the time out of their day to call her!

😂 Be careful with all that "women's channel" nonsense... there are some ladies on the Facebook page who find it very offensive that Taylor's show was considered "women's programming"! 😂

I love that Nekia popped in and said "Yes, that's exactly what it is!" lol
 

I'm not minding Jenny Hutt. I like how she involves Katie! She has an interesting perspective and Taylor never let her talk.
