According to Omarossa on Hannity & Colmes, she is getting offers to host her own talk show. If she does, will you watch?

Nope. She’s just a little too condescending for me. But I probably wouldn’t watch a show hosted by Heidi either. Now if The Don(ald) hosted a talk show we might have a winner - that guy cracks me up.

Sounds like wishful thinking. She’s hoping her 15 minutes will stretch to 16. Not gonna happen.

Why was she on Hannity & Colmes? She is entirely too self-absorbed to show interest in others. What the hell was the impetus for offering a fricking talk show? She has one of the worst personalities I’ve ever seen.

I was watching the first 4 eps of the Apprentice last night with a friend that missed 'em. I came up with the idea of putting Omarossa (Affectionately known as Assorama at TWOP) and Sam together for a reality tv business venture. Now THAT would be good TV. 😃

Only if we get to see George, Carolyn, and the Donald snark on her at the end of every episode.

Anyway, I think it’s an awful idea. She was fascinating in the context of a reality show, but not because she had anything that was genuinely interesting or insightful to say. The only way I could see her being a successful audience draw is if a show was set up to highlight her delusions even more clearly than The Apprentice did.

Now, **stpauler** idea is a good one…except instead of a business venture, strand Assorama and Sam on an island together.

No, her talk show’s for real. She’s going to take the $100,000,000 she gets from her lawsuit against Trump for that massive piece of concrete crushing her skull and she’s going to start her own TV production company! As a host, she’ll be sort of a cross between Oprah and Triumph, the insult comic dog.

Damn, if she started channeling Triumph, I’d watch – but instead, it would all be beauty queen platitudes (“I’m a good person…”).

You laugh, but I saw her on _Today_ the day after she was fired and they asked her if she had made any friends on the show. She said that since the show was made she and Sam have become really good friends. There’s a joke in there somewhere.

Speaking of _Today_, George and Carolyn were supposed to be on this morning. Did anyone see it?

**Twickster,** is this thread doubling as this week’s SDMB Apprentice Pre-Game Show? 🙂

Omarosa is only entertaining when she’s around people she feels are beneath her. Give her a talk show, and all she’ll be doing is kissing celebrities’ asses. No, make it a Paris Hilton type deal. Drop her in the sticks with a family of inbreds. Now _that’d_ be must-see TV.

Omarosa is completely and utterly delusional. She lives in her own little world, altering the facts to suit her own reality. I won’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth about talk show offers, friendships with other contestants, or the color of the sky unless I see it confirmed by a separate, independent source. Any sentence that starts with “Omarasa says” is automatically suspect.

I’m not going to further humiliate myself by providing a link – but suffice it to say the answer is “no.” :o

My name is twicks and I am powerless over my “Apprentice” addiction…

Hmm…let’s see, that would be roughly _everybody_?
