Bonnie Hunt gets a shot at hosting own talk show

Bonnie Hunt's always seemed like a "real" person and such a great actress, besides. What a wonderful anecdote about the dying many who made her promise to try entertaining for a living.

Bonnie Hunt is a REAL person. She is so genuine and I have always admired her. She has CLASS! She authored one on my favorite movies, Return to Me. The fact the she made a promise and kept it after her former patient passed away tells a lot about her character. She is a role model just waiting to be discovered at a time when America needs some one with values. She has accomplished a lot and I look forward to her new show. It sounds like a breath of fresh air, we NEED you Bonnie!! I would like to more about her, a nurse turned writer, comedienne, and talk show host--WOW. When a person follows their heart, they won't go wrong.Congratulations on making your dream come true...you are amazing, go for it.

What timing for Bonnie! Her show would gain instant success if she can just line up Sarah Palin as a guest.

Bonnie Hunt Rocks! I can hardly wait to see todays show. Maybe she'll have some more firefighters on!

I love her humor, i hope people love her as much as I do.

Thanks to that man who made her promise to try; we all would have missed out on all the great performances Bonnie has given, which have enriched our lives. Bonnie has backbone, morals, and many talents which make her enjoyable. Good luck to her.

Without becoming political about it, I think a big reason that so many people are impressed with Sara Palin are for the same qualities they see in her that they also see in Bonnie.

They are both very intelligent, open, forthright and have an obvious socialbility that shines right through a camera.

Bonnie's new show, like her past ones, will be something I will watch and look forward to every time it's on.

Sarah | 8:55 a.m. Sept. 9, 2008

Oh, I love Bonnie Hunt! I think she'll do a fantastic job with this. I wish her all the luck in the world.

I hope her all the best. She is exactly what television needs. I will be very disappointed should this show not make it.

Hey, she can't be any worse than Rosie O'Donnell...

WHY IS THIS STORY IN THE TOP STORIES IN UTAH?? IS SHE A UTAH NATIVE AND I MISSED THAT SOMEWHERE?

Rosie may not have been that great on the View but she was a heck of a talk show host when she did the Rosie O'Donnell Show. In fact, I think Bonnie Hunt was actually a guest on her show once. It's a "talk show" for goodness sakes; she used to write for one (Letterman) if I'm mistaken. Anyway, Bonnie Hunt is talented, funny and engaging. I've enjoyed her talent for may years and that talent will take her even farther in the seasons and years to come.
Break a leg Bonnie!!!
Fondest regards,
Robin

I enjoy The Bonnie Hunt Show because Bonnie is one of the sweetest and most caring individuals in the entertainment industry. She is intelligent, quick witted and I think she shows great judgement when certan news stories arise. When I tune in, I know I will be entertained. The show makes a point of being positive and not dwelling on political problems or on a guest's personal problems. Bonnie goes to great lengths to bring out the best in her guests. Overall, I feel that Bonnie, her crew and staff are are a breath of fresh air. The show makes my day better.

Bonnie is so adorable. Her wardrobe needs attention though. Why does she wear the black pantsuit almost every day? The wardrobe people need to be more creative. They are missing a real opportunity to show off her beauty.

I just have to write and tell how VERY much I enjoy Bonnie Hunt and her show. She is a delightful lady and keeps her show "clean". I love the segments with her Mom. Bonnie is caring, and I can tell,she is a loving person. I hope that the Bonnie Hunt Show will be on the air for many years to come.
Her staff is great and seem to really enjoy working with Bonnie and it appears she knows her staff well
Keep up the wonderful work Bonnie.
