If anyone happened to tape the last week or so of “Talk Soup” give a shout, please. I’d like to obtain a copy.
I used to tape it every day, and wouldn’t you know that the first week I’m moved in to my new digs and don’ta have all my electronic stuff set up, they go and cancel it.

I loved talk soup when Greg Kinnear was on it. I watched it a little with John Henson. After that I didn’t pay attention. But I do like the woman who hosts (hosted?) it.
Sorry I can’t help you out.
I watched with Greg Kinnear and love it.
When Jon Henson came on I thought it was even funnier.
Everyone since sucked the big one.
Even Aisha?
I thought she was pretty good heir to Henson, and pretty damn cute, too!
Talk Soup was always as good as the talk shows were. Way back when, Greg Kinnear could launch a career simply by being as dumbfounded as the rest of us that such things were on television. John Henson accepted their excess and used them as the basis for more humor. But by the time whats-his-name, Hal Sparks, came along, half the good shows were gone and the rest were toned down. He had neither talent nor anything to work off of. I stopped watching by the time Aisha came along except to check it out a few times and confirm that the shows (both Talk Soup and the ones it excerpted) were pitiful. Time Soup was a product of its times and died when those times did.
Loved it with Kinnear & Henson, but lost interest with the successor. When I’ve seen Aisha, I’ve liked her, but haven’t had the urge to watch regularly for some reason.
I also loved the show in the Kinnear/Henson days, but “talk shows” have become so predictable and overdone, even Talk Soup couldn’t make them palatable.
As an aside, Exapno Mapcase, I love your user name. He was my favorite of the brothers!
Warning: Useless “me too” post ahead…
Me too to most of the above. I watched it all the time during the Kinnear/Henson days. Started to lose interest during Hal Sparks’ run. I think Hal was pretty good though. He was a little more shtiky, but I suppose he had to make up for the fading interest in the talk show material.
I haven’t seen it yet with Aisha.
Thank you, FairyChatMom. I love all the brothers, but I figured that a name that stayed in my head all these years was the one to go with.
