Talk Soup

After being kicked out of the Marine Corp in 1992, I went through a 2 year downward spiral of depression and drug abuse living in cheap motels that had cable TV and the new E! cable station. One thing I will never forget after all the drugs was gone is Greg Kinnear brilliance during the 1992 - 1993 season of Talk Soup. He was truly a master. I never heard of Talk Soup or Greg before I saw him on E! and believe me, Greg wore me out with laughter so hard that it knocked me into sobriety many times. His deadpan humor was not the conventional stuff of comics but on a whole different level altogether. I remember watching him immediately after Ophrah had just interviewed Michael Jackson for a one hour special. Greg ripped into Michael and I loved it along with Michael. Greg was OFF THE HOOK and I never forgot HIM or Talk Soup because of his off beat sense of humor and his take on the insanity of Talk Shows. If Greg hosted that show today, I would watch it because he was so good at examining the ridiculousness of Talk shows. I always said back than that one day, I hoped that I would be able to purchase episodes of Greg when he hosted Talk Soup and I hope that day is soon. Thanks Greg for the fun when my life was miserable - man, you may have "wasted" a lot of the drug I took when i watched you, but I am a happier man for it today. I will never, ever forget that season.

John Henson and the crew of "Talk Soup" are the funniest bunch of people on TV. They do crazy sketches and make fun of some of the stupidest talk show clips around. Talk shows are horrible -- Talk Soup makes them GREAT!

This is the funniest show that I have ever seen. I watch it twice a day and never get tired of it. John Henson is so funny, and this show deserves to win a lot of awards!

I started off watching "Talk Soup" with host John Henson. I thought that he was very funny and I thought that the premise of the show was pretty good... Showing the "funny" clips from all of the other daytime and late night shows. I loved John Henson as a host- I never missed an episode. After John Henson left, I expected to hate the next host. After I saw Hal Sparks for the first time, I loved him! Although Hal isn't the same as John, I didn't feel that the show lost anything. I did however feel like the show lost something when Hal left and gave the purple chair (which finally reappeared) over to Aisha Tyler. I now rarely watch the shows and I long to see the episodes with either John or Hal hosting. For those that hated Hal- I read an interview that he did and I agree with him. - John was a guy's guy and Hal was more of a girl's guy. "Talk Soup" is still a show that you should check out sometime.

In my opinion, this is a pretty good celebrity skit show. I enjoyed seeing Greg Kinnear as the host. There are many reasons why I said that. Even though Hal Sparks was an okay host, I sometimes wish that Greg Kinnear hadn't left. If you ask me, it seems that nobody stays with a TV show throughout its entire run anymore. Still, I enjoyed seeing the various hosts and other people spoofing celebrities. If you ask me, that was pretty darn funny. Before I wrap this up, I must say that I kind of miss this show. Now, in conclusion, I highly recommend this show to all you die-hard sketch show fans. You will really enjoy it.
