It’s VH-1, so their stardard for “good show” is much lower than average. ---

Man, it didn’t take long for getting rid of satellite TV to pay off. At least it’s on VH1, so nobody with vaccination-age children will see it. ---

Will she be naked on this? If so, I’m in. But only if so. ---

If only she’d convinced the Jersey Shore’s cast’s parents not to vaccinate. (Yes, Jersey Shore is MTV not VH1, but they’re all part of the same garbage factory) ---

I thought it was painful to watch her on the New Year’s Eve show this year. She’s getting too old to get away with trying to act like that. I doubt this will last long. ---

You are so right. Cute only lasts so long, but stupid is forever. Now that she’s (unfortunately) hitting the “too old to be cute” age (which, regardless of her being Jenny McCarthy, I have issues with that, but that’s a different rant), all that’s left is the stupid. ---

> [@spooje](#): > > I remember Jenny always being incredibly hot…but not smart or funny. How do they think this will be a good show? She used to make a bunch of poop jokes and the like. I remember some shoe advertisement featured her [sitting on a toilet](http://feministsforchoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/JennyMcCarthy-Candies-Shoes.jpg). I won’t deny that I’ve laughed at my share of bathroom jokes in my time although I’ve never found Ms. McCarthy to be especially amusing. I think because she wasn’t so much funny but rather you were supposed to find the dissonance of a pretty blonde talking about farts to be joke enough. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > I have zero interest in this show but if VH1 is looking for their own Chelsea Handler, they sure as hell won’t get it by letting anyone, McCarthy or otherwise, pontificate on the virtues or evils of childhood vaccinations. That’s daytime Oprah style stuff, not late night talk. Piffle. (Is that a real word?) Ten bucks sez Wakefield’s in the guest chair by the end of the first week. ---

The part of me that grew up when I first say Jenny McCarthy, doesn’t want to hear her talk. ---

she (and Jim Carrey) shouldn’t be allowed to _live,_ much less be given a TV show. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/oh-dear-lord-jenny-mccarthy-is-getting-her-own-talk-show/612953.md?page=1)
