Is anyone else a big loser like me and doesn't have a job and so am home to watch this show? It seems ok, she's definitely a likeable host but man is she skinny! I don't see why this can't be like TRL and they cut down some of the segments and play videos instead! Or do it at a beachhouse. And I wonder about her last name too, does seem common for a white Brit unless she has Asian in her background.

I am not ashamed to say that I've seen this a few times and that I was disappointed to see that it's not on today. It kind of subverts the conventions of the talk show a bit, so I hope they get bolder with that as the show goes on. I hope it gets the chance.

This show is 10% about the guests, 20% about the host's interesting appearance, and 70% about Americans being suckers for a Spice Girl's accent.

That or marketing indicates enough people want to know what a Bratz Doll looks like when it grows up (well gets older). I saw this on VH1 and could not for the life of me figure what I was watching. Even when Tyrese came out to pimp the Transformer movie, I still kept waiting for the "Free Radio" moment. Then there was this segment on a speedwalking contest through the offices that managed to do dull, vacuous and embarrassing for the writers to the point I was blushing.

The host is tragically over styled to the point that I expect to read "death by fashion trend" in her obituary. That or an arrest sheet for mugging the Olson Twins on their way to donating their old castoffs to the Salvation Army. And whoever styled her hair should rethink having it look like it was cut with a large salad bowl...that still had plenty of oily dressing left in it. Dirty slicked down crown might be the hottest look going but to me it just looked EMO meets Amish.

It's kind of sad because in the right hands during the summer, MTV could really tap into a market with an irreverant edgier fare mid day than what is offered elsewhere. But this is definitely not the right hands either in host or conceptualizing the various components of the show.

I've only seen online clips of this show and I'm not sure how I feel about it.. On the one hand I kinda like her, she seems interesting. On the other hand she's random, who is she and how did she get her own mtv show? I agree with the comment of her being way over styled. Does anyone else think she could be Kira Knightley's twin?

She was a VJ over in the UK.

I love the little coffee talk segment which use to be at the beginning and now is somewhere in the middle. Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black were on and they were quite funny. Alexa has a wicked sense of humor.

Double post.
Is the show canceled? Shortened? What exactly?

The show ended it's first season and is returning with a new season on October 12 at 3:30. I like Alexa but she's too skinny and dresses over the top.

Cancelled? No such luck.

This American doesn't. I canNOT stand her accent. It's like she's shoveled Shepherd's Pie into her mouth and is trying to talk through it.

Please keep her. It's one less vacuous tart on UK TV screens. Lord knows we've got plenty.

(can you please take Fearne Cotton too? Like Alexa, she hardly eats, so won't cost too much....)
