I knew it. I was watching this show the other day and i thought to myself this is a perfect bette type show!!! YAY!
Any news on when it is being filmed and how to get tix?
All they could tell me was it was some time next week….the day had not been set. They didn’t know how to get tickets. I checked the website about tix and couldn’t find anything….
I thought the same thing Jill. I had a feeling she would do the show eventually.
I tried watching this show when Kathy Griffin was on and found it almost… unbearable. Kathy Griffin, Tracy Morgan AND Nathan Lane were on the panel and I still wanted to turn the channel. Not really sure why… maybe it’s because the people needing coaching were embarrassing to watch. Maybe because gays can’t marry and the “institution of marriage” so many people are protecting is laughable.
Oh well, I’ll be watching again though on May 13th!
I NEVER had any interest in the show…until now….so I’ll be watching… 🙂
I have never watched the show only some commercials but will watch it on may 13 thanks Don for the info
I think the 3rd should be Joy Behar – how funny would that be??

That would be great I guess…altho I know nothing about the show….
