Talk show idea

There’s an old saying that goes, “There’s nothing new under the sun.” In a lot of ways, that adage fits the world of daytime and late night talk shows perfectly.

Especially when you’re talking about what talk shows actually talk about. Let’s face it, most talk shows hosts linger on the same topics.

That is, of course, until the next movie comes along.
