“Talk Soup,” that is.

If you are, are you also annoyed that the weekend version has been cropped to a half-hour?

Well, Mjollny, I don’t watch it much anymore, because I don’t like what’s-his-nuts as much as Kinnear. There’s another question for the thread, if anyone else responds-Kinnear or the new guy?

Oh, and didja try a horsehoe, Mjollnir?

We interrupt this thread to increase  
dramatic tension.

JFTR, new guy “John Henson” has been gone for about 6 months.

The new “new guy” is Hal Sparks.

Have not had the pleasure of a horseshoe, yet–but it’s still on my list.

Love it! I don’t watch it much on the weekends cause I’m usually not home when it comes on. I think Hal Sparks is very funny. Why did Skunk-Boy quit/leave whatever?

Personally, I can’t believe some of the inuendos that they get away with on this show. Even my husband, the non-comedy person, likes it.

I liked John Henson, but now he’s gone and now we have this goofy guy, Hal Sparks.

Don’t like him too much, so I don’t really care that the weekend show’s been cut.

Then again, I didn’t like John Henson too much at first.
