Oh, so sad. Our little Rainbow Sprinkles is going to fall flat on his little tanned, bleached head. Not to be, you know, like faithless in him or anything, but who needs another talk show? He's a smart guy (as evidenced by his Larry King appearance, not anything he's done on AI), but I doubt that there is room for a show like this.

He's totally bringing the pretty, but I'll probably be getting my pretty fix on AI. I might catch a show or two of this, and I'd better do it fast, cuz I doubt it'll last. :)

He was also quite funny during some remote bits he did for Leno. So I have some hope, but it's going to be tricky for him to find the right tone. Pacing, too. If he starts having a shitload of former or current AI people on, we'll know he's in trouble.

Oh, and that ridiculous show-pimping he did during World Idol didn't help his credibility much, either.

I think it'll be harder for him to find an audience. The teenies/tweenies who love him on AI have other things to watch in the afternoon like TRL or something (if they're watching at all), and I doubt he's appealing to that much of the male population, and most women who'd be watching TV at this time probably watch an established talk show or they hate talk shows....Anyways, it just seems like he'll crash and burn pretty quick. I don't know how well he can catch on.

Oh, WORD, queasy! As happy as I was to get a *sprinkling* out of the World Idol results show, (and I have to say he did look very purty), I totally CRINGED when he pimped his new show!

I can't even throw in my two cents on whether I think he'll be successful or not. I don't watch daytime TV at all, so I don't really know which formulas tend to be successful and which don't. And as far as Rainbow Sprinkles himself, who knows which personality he'll bring to the new show? I mean we have AI Toolcrest, the tooliest tool who ever tooled. Then we have the Leno version, where he's actually kind of endearing (except for when he's grabbing random men's crotches). And then there's the Larry King Seacrest, where he actually appears to be intelligent and articulate. So I guess it remains to be seen. But I think I'll just be getting my *sprinkles* from AI3, unless I hear that the new show is either extraordinarily good or hysterically bad, then maybe I'll start taping it...

RS is featured in Parade as their Personality on Parade this week.

And two hours later, I remember the name of the column is really In Step With...

I don't have much faith in this one. I mean, the promos I've seen for this show have made it look like it's not even going to be that fun. As if Ryan is estatic about being given a chance to "prove himself" that he risk taking this too seriously. Then factor in his lousy interviewing skills during his American Idol run. (Then consider that most people watch AI more for the contestants and the judges then for him), and I suspect that TPTB will realize that they strongly overestemated his appeal and cancel this thing by March.

Oh, ya gotta tape at least a couple of eps. It clearly won't be around long, so whatever shows there are will be, like, artifacts.

I mean, I really don't think it's a coincidence that we're on constant orange alert just when his show is starting.

Ryan's Cohost seems to be one Rosanna Tavarez from Eden's Crush from the original Popstars.

Why am I going to watch this?

Eden's Crush? Ew.



I know I said I was going to watch, but I dunno...maybe I can go without torturing myself for an hour each weekday.

Aw, crumb. Sprinkles and a former reality talent show star? And I just found out that my satellite company doesn't carry the second-tier Fox channel that's airing this. Oh, well. Maybe I can catch it using my rickety old rabbit-ear antenna or something. Somehow, that seems appropriate.

The producers should try and organize a Dunkleman-Seacrest summit and an examination of everything leading up to their split. Interviews with Justin and Kelly (musical performances, too!), video clips of Dunkleman's retarded serial killer glare, this is gold, I tell ya! It'd be like Tonya & Nancy except with uglier and less sexually desirable participants.

Seriously. This is the only thing that would make the show somewhat interesting other than Ryan finally outing himself. I'll worship the first celebrity that brings up Brian Dunkleman but they'd never have anyone "loose lipped" enough to do it.

I knew this guy was going to have his own show. From all the popularity and his face showing up all over the place, hey, why not?

I can never understand this either... what happened to him?

Aww, Ryan's show isn't even coming on in my area. And they pick up EVERYTHING around here. Sharon Osbourne, but no Sprinkles? Too bad. You all are going to have to tell me what a trainwreck it is.

From the ad at the top of the page
"Unscripted, unpredicatable, unprescedented"
And this makes it different from all the other talk shows ... how?
You mean Jay Leno's guests all have scripted answers?
You mean Rosie O'Donnell didn't do the exact same Merv Griffin interview the stars in the afternoon type of show for nearly six years, beating out Oprah and her show once or twice for an Emmy?
Really, who is Sprinkles kidding?

And finally, the last part ... go where no fan has gone before?
Well, seeing as how Ryan will do anything for his new show, I'm betting that isn't going to last long.

According to my Yahoo TV listings for me locally, it's only gonna be on a week. Heh, poor Semencrest.

Well, that's the same in my area, too, but I think it's just the first week is used as a tryout week, so that the affiliate or whichever station that's unfortunate to air it can see the ratings at that time frame and decide to leave it or move it.

I just read a story where it talks all about Seacrest and how he's such a wonderful personality, and Sprinkles says he wants to be like Dick Clark and Oprah, who went on to be entertainment giants, by starting out as a "talent".
Give me a break, he's an annoying, nelly, prissy little white guy with a talk show, exactly what market is he going to tap into to become the next Oprah? And as it's not the 1950s and 1960s with only 3 channels anymore, he's gonna have a hard time to become Clark, either.

I'm just surprised that all the people in this story that I read, they were all 25 to 30 years old, and they all said that Seacrest's show should bridge the gap between TRL and VH1.
Whatever, Rainbow Sprinkles.

Well, can this show actually be any worse than the piece of total stupidity known as TRL. Can I say how much I loathe the smarmy Carson Daly? And the rest of the "VJ's" aren't much better.

Well, I don't know about you, but I'll be watching because Rainbow Sprinkles is one pretty, pretty man.

He's not a stupid man (he just plays one on a reality show), but he's a little delusional if he thinks there is a huge market for him. He's a pretty fellow, but I don't know who will be watching other than a day or two just to see how bad it really is. And UPN? I honestly can't remember the last time I watched anything on UPN. If I didn't read his AI thread here, I'd never have known he even had a show coming out.

Why does a Popstars shill get to be on his show? Oh well, I heard that Guarini is going to be on his show this week. Why, I don't know. It's not like he's going to have another album to promote.

I kind of like MetroSeacrestxual's new Zack Morris-ish haircut. The flat iron thing was just too much.

*blink*

Ralphie May and Reba McEntire watching Enrique Iglesias poorly gyrate.

*blink*

Nice ass crack on the backup singer. And Enrique Iglesias has to be going bald...what other excuse would there be for that hat?

This show is trying to be a few too many things at once. Though, I have to say I'm impressed with the roster of stars Rainbow Sprinkles was able to get in just the first week.

Edited because a t is not a comma.

And again because a space is not a t. I'm a mess.

Ahhhhhh Enshrieke was wearing a Craggle hat! Make it stop! No seriously, was that supposed to be singing? Hee, that ass crack was quite prominent wasn't it?

Ryan's adorable, I'll keep watching even though I hated every single guest. He did have a lot of big names though. Go Sprinkles!

I checked Ryan's website and it didn't have my area listed as having his show, but I checked Yahoo! and apparently it does come on here. So I'll try to catch it tomorrow. If I can stomach it, of course.

Oh, mercy. I said I'd give it a week, but turns out I was being optimistic. When it came down to it, I could only stomach about 20 minutes of one show. It wasn't horrible, really, just not my taste at all. Gave me a headache, it did.

Ralphie May is on this show as a correspondent? I may have to boycott this show. What is funny is that MTV said that they will ban anyone who appears on Seacrest's show from ever appearing on TRL in their life. Now Seacrest is having a hard time booking guests and is resorting to hard-written letters to the celebrities's publicists begging them to come on. So I guess The Rock, Enrique, Reba, and Justin Guiarini would now never be on TRL. Not that Guiarini would have been on anyway.

yuck. I'll be too busy watching my "Arby's Oven Mitt marathon" to watch anymore of this.

Is it really that bad? Oh well, I'm going to the friday show. Missy Elliot is supposed to be the guest.

I've been home alot these two weeks, did a Zap2it.com search, it was on at 3pm in my market. I get Ralphie May talking about his frozen hoo-hoo, a hot Latino chick from Eden's Crush, Nicole Richie coming out with a cute chubby belly, but after half an hour I still switched over to "Static Shock" reruns.

I don't know how I feel about it yet. I've only seen about a half hour of the show and I didn't think it was terrible. I like that it's not just him sitting at a desk with guests coming out. However, it does seem like there is no organization to it. He talks to the audience, some entertainment news, talking to a guest cohost, then a guest, more entertainment news, more guests...I dunno, it's just like it's 5 show jumbled together. I don't completely hate Ryan and I think he's okay for the job, but I think the show itself just needs some kind of direction.

Noooo! My first double post!

I watched this show yesterday and actually enjoyed it. That may be due in part to the fact that John Mayer is pretty darn funny. We'll see if I enjoy it today also.

Heee! When Ryan read the results of the vote for the John Mayer song and John responded, "Are you sure about those results? Are you sure it wasn't 23.5%?" I let out a hearty BWAH!

Ryan, go ahead and try to tell me you are not gay after you allowed another man to squeeze your ass on national television. And not only did you allow it, but you actually bent over to make it easier for him. And you looked like you enjoyed it. So please, Sprinkles, stop lying to yourself.

I'm proud to say I've never seen a single episode of AI; my entire experience with Ryan has been as a regular listener to Star 98.7 (KYSR) here in L.A. I liked his afternoon show with Lisa Foxx, and I'll certainly miss him given that his replacement is a DJ named Jason Pullman who sounds EXACTLY like Ryan. Without any of the charm.

Caught the first two shows; I probably won't be a regular viewer; I'll just tape random episodes featuring guests I like. My biggest beef is with talentless Ralphie May and the bland entertainment chick -- I've already forgotten her name.

Oh, I wish I'd have remembered to tape John Mayer. Not that I care for his music; rather, I remember his interviews on Star with Ryan, and they have a good rapport.

Tee hee! Either that or he's completely shameless and will do anything for publicity. Aww, I kind of want to squeeze his ass too because he's such a cute little famewhore.

Hilarious, though, when Clay came out wearing the same outfit as him.

DoubleTee isn't that eerie? Whenever Jason would fill in for Ryan, I could never tell them apart until he said his name. Even now that I know Ryan's gone, whenever I get in the car to go home I always think for half a second that Ryan's back. Star 98 POINT! 7. Scary.

Today was the first day I saw this show. It's too TRL like for me. Awkward moment #3789: Shannon Elizabeth says Ryan and Clay make a cute couple. Hee!

Ok so far I've just been listening to the show on my radio, but I can see I'm going to have to put it on TiVo because if Ryan has another ass-grabbing moment, I don't want to miss it! Besides, he's just too cute for me to pass up every day. Also, I'm sad that I missed John Mayer because he's a purty boy as well and seemed to have a good rapport with Ryan. Can someone tell me what was the bit with Mayer that Ryan wanted to show the audience at the end of today's show? I just heard his Why Georgia performance again and the audience screaming once or twice.

Bah!
I knew I should have given it at least a couple of days! Leave it to me to miss John Mayer.. And the ass-grabbing. Damn it!

I watched Monday, and when I found that even Enrique couldn't make this show tolerable for me, I took a pass on my Tivo for this show.

I like the show. It is like TRL meets Celebrity Justice. It is on in Kansas City instead of yet another court drama. Thank god it replaced a court show. I like it, however I also liked Ananda Lewis show and it got cancelled too. Good Luck. I think I might watch it from now on every so often. It is also a little like Good Day Live.

Hey, by the way..Next Monday on On-Air they have a behind the scenes look at the next Idol competition. Based on the success of the first two and the World Idol, I can't wait to see the behind the scenes with guest Paula Abdul. So although, I hate to admit it I kinda liked AI one and two andthink it is about time for another considering this third version comes more than seven months ago. Last year, I was a little tired out to watch anymore becuase the two show were only a couple of months apart. Having said that I think nobody saw the kid version of Idol. I tuned it off. At about the same time they had Last Comic Standing and I saw that. Then there was that Fame show and Dance Fever. Way too much! Not to mention Arsenio's Star Search. Anyways, this entire fall there has been nothing. I had to be left with crap like the Simple Life and other non-sense. except for Fear Factor which I am hooked on. Anyways, I like AI and this ON-Air with Ryan Seacrest. I gave it a week and it sure seems interesting. Bye.

"He's even hotter in person?"
What kinda crack was the maker of the banner ad at the top of the screen smoking, anyway?

I can only watch this show in moderation. After the first segment, it usually grates. But today, it was worth it to watch him butcher the spanish language during the Ben and JLo segment.

Hi, my name is DoctorNeon, and...(sigh)...I sort of like this show.
It's really not bad. At 3pm it's either this or cartoons I've seen before, so when I'm home, (all the time, lately..) I watch this. As Ryan himself described it, it's a little bit of everything. I don't glare at it intensely, trying to get every nuance, but, Ryan, I tolerate you, I really, really tolerate you.

I love that the show is barely three weeks old, and already, like 75% of his show is devoted to American Idol crap. Because, see, Ryan can totally make it on his own. :-)

I like the show too. Ryan amuses me with all the self-depracation and he's cute. I tend to tape it though and watch with the FF button.

Ryan. Tight jeans. Yes!

I agree, Kimberly Caldwell. Celebrity Correspondent last week.
Simon Cowell, guest last week ,
Kelly and Clay singing Monday
Jim Verraros (ugh) celebrity courtyard correspondent, Tuesday.
Carmen Rasmussen (DOUBLE UGH) CCC Friday

BTW, since I have never seen this show as I have a life, What the fudge is A Celebrity courtyard correspondent?

A Celebrity Courtyard Correspondent is basically someone who stands outside in the audience and talks to fans.

I've only watched this show a few times, but it's pretty good. Sometimes, though, he comes across as condescending to fans, which kind of bothers me.

Sadly, I have watched every episode of Ryan's show. And I've liked them all. Especially the parts where Ryan is defending his sexuality. And the parts where he's making himself look gayer than we already see him as. Fun!

I hate this show with a fiery passion. It's worse than TRL, because at least TRL has Damien. Ryan doesn't even look like he's 28 or however old he is. Seriously, the first time I watched it, Kylie and the cast of Angel were on, and boy was that a crapfest. I'm sorry I missed Buffy for that.

I tuned in once last week and was less than impressed. Hopefully this goes the way of Sharon Osbourne.

Mmm. Damien. So very pretty.

So, this crap-fest just gets worse with each passing day.
And when he had Britney? Jeez, you'd think he gotten the Pope or something!

Oh, and FYI, Ryan? Britney was on the JIMMY KIMMEL show. Getting her is not a big coup. (In any sense of the word.)
