BlindGossip – Which talk show host is having personal problems that are spilling onto the set? A standoff with their significant other is in the works, and it really seems to be distracting the star. Plus there are always the usual production issues, guests, ratings, and advertisers to worry about. They just have way too much on their plate right now. They are only getting about four hours of sleep a night, and are so wired from the day that they have to take a sleeping pills every night to even fall asleep, and something else in the morning to get them moving. Our star has even occasionally fallen asleep during staff meetings which they are supposed to be leading. While some shows have stars or hosts whom can be easily substitute, that’s not this case. This star is going to have to get their act together, kick the pills, and delegate some of the responsibilities before they wind up in a hospital or off the air.

Oprah and Stedman?
you mean oprah and gayle?
Tyra, Oprah or Ellen are my best guesses. Hoping it’s not Ellen.
So apparently its Rosie O and her g.f. See latest news.
Rosie is still have a talk show??
No she doesn’t. If she did, she would have been my first guess.
She’s got a radio show, no?
My first thought was Ellen, probably because of the gender-neutral descriptions. But I hope it’s not.
She was my first thought too. Nobody else has her sense of humor – which means that nobody could effectively fill in for her. She shouldn’t be doing Idol… too much!!
dont let it be conan =( I heard his ratings arent that great and some ppl don’t like his show, sigh.
the picture has redish brownish hair, could be a clue
David Letterman is also a natural redhead. His ratings went up when he dyed his hair.
But the blind indicates that the star already had a full plate, then took on more work.
It must be a woman. The title says “Mother’s Little Helper”, which refers to a pill of some sort, I presume. So it is a talk show host who is female. I thought it might be Rachael Ray because of the “too much on their plate” reference, but she doesn’t have children. Could it be Kelly Ripa? She and her husband just announced they are guest-starring on their old soap opera, and she has a lot of work besides the talk show, thus the “too much on their plate” reference. There have been rumours about their relationship. Hmmmmm …
Dr. Phil?
oops…. didn’t pay attention to the “Mother’s Little Helper”… Hope it’s not Ellen.
“Mother’s Little Helper” is a Stones song about housewives using drugs to get them through their day.
Example: “Mother needs something today to calm her down/ And though she’s not really ill, there’s a little yellow pill/ She goes running for the shelter of a mother’s little helper/ And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day/”
The mother ODs and dies at the end of the song so “ousting Mother’s Little Helper” is a good idea so the host won’t die.
Yeah, it’s a specific reference to drug use, I don’t think it means that the host actually has children.
it’s Opraaaah!
Oprah could fart out the phone book and people would watch her. She’s in no danger of going off the air. Probably Ellen, but I sure hope I’m wrong.
not oprah
I wonder if this isn’t Carson Daly. He’s been looking frightful for a while now.
Okay, this blind repeats “star” quite a bit. I don’t know if Carson would be considered a star, as such. Therefore, I’m changing my guess to Jimmy Fallon.
letterman. there’s more spillage to come.
Chelsea Handler? There were Page Six rumors her BF, the head of E! and therefore her boss, had moved to a hotel, but she denied them on her show. And it’s in reruns this week after having a new episode Monday night. And it seems to shift between repeats and new episodes at random.
Hope it’s not. Love her and the show!
Adding Chelsea also has Chuy, a tiny assistant. She also has started referring to herself as a mother since she got her dog.
I think we have a winner here—Chelsea Handler seems to be the one, especially because, unlike Oprah, Ellen, Tyra, etc, Chelsea could very well get the boot, while the others are too plugged in and have amazing numbers, making cancellation pretty much impossible. Not so with Chelsea—and if she’s having trouble with her big-shot BF, then it’s even more likely it’s her.
Chelsea just signed a multi-year contract with E!. She’s not gonna get the boot ANYTIME soon.
bingo
Actually, rereading it I think substitute is the clue. Rachael Ray and her gay husband.
Agreed! Spilling and substitute seem to be hinting at a kitchen show…
and too much on their PLATE.
I would guess Ellen for this blind. She seems to deeply involve herself in both professional and personal commitments. Being both sensitive and Type A can be a deadly combination!
I’m guessing Conan; got the most to lose and the biggest pressure for ratings/success
Ellens’ on solid ground and wears her heart on her sleeve; couldn’t hide personal issues
Leno isn’t doing well in the ratings; he also is looking very puffy and tired, hmmmm?
The others seem to be same old, same old living in late nite mediocrity.
Conan, for sure
I can’t help but think that “oust” is a clue, but I can’t figure out what it would point to. Anyone?
I was just thinking that “oust” has to be a clue. Is it someone who “ousted” someone else from their job? Or maybe someone who smells bad?
Jimmy Kimmel
There has been several tabloid reports about Portia de Rossi being very unhappy with the amount of time Ellen was spending on her show. And that was before Ellen took on the Paula Abdul responsibilities.
Which is understandable, she seems to be one of the hardest working women in showbusiness – don’t forget the comedy specials she does, the endorsements, etc.
I think Ellens a Christ. Scientist, arent they averse to taking medications of any kind?
My first thought was Rachel Ray. There have been rumors about problems with her and John for years and she now has: a food network show, a talk show, a line of cookware, a line of dog food, cookbooks AND a magazine and she’s only become popular in the last 5 years. She seems spread really thin. I can’t find any clues though except the “mother” thing, if you watch her show you know she constantly talks about helping her mother in the kitchen and working at a HoJo with her mother
Actually, she has several food network shows. Three at the very least. Five at the very most. She said a few years ago that on her vacation from the talk show, she spent her whole vacation time shooting her food network shows. And then when she finished at the end of her vacation, she went right back to the talk show. I love this guess. Her husband seems sort of skeezy, anyway.
*This*
I agree with Rachel Ray…also, isn’t “way too much on their plate” sort of a clue? I’ve also heard about the marriage problems and that she’s exhausted. Though, you’d think she’d be thinner if she were taking drugs…
Another thought was Kelly Ripa, she’s crack ho skinny and is doing tons of different things. Her husband has beeen doing some stuff, too.
I think Rachel Ray has a thyroid problem and that’s why she’s a little thick and has a raspy voice.
still hot IMO
Has to be Kelly Ripa. She is reported to be a Adderal-addict. Hence, the weight loss.
I thought of her, but really Regis is the star of that show. He went from Kathy Lee to Kelly with little impact to the show, she could just as easily be replaced.
But all those stupid “perfect mom” commercials she does for Electrolux certainly fit the “Mother’s Little Helper” title.
Ah, yes! I don’t know why that didn’t occur to me. Those commercials where she is being supermom with the help of her amazing appliances! I could totally see this being her. She has to be spread thin. And the Regis and Kelly show isn’t exactly the hottest show on TV these days. I’m sure ratings are a worry for both of them, even if they’re not horrible at the moment. I’m going with her.
David Letterman.
I’m with you stinkweed. This is screaming David Letterman. Obviously he has personal problems and there is no way it could not be spilling onto the set. He’s only human. It was reported the wife wanted a divorce so that could be the showdown. She could take him to the cleaners and I hope she does after what he did.
I just read that there could be a sex tape leaking out (yuck!!) but that could push him into taking pills and not getting sleep.
I think just that statement will lead me to pills and lack of sleep. ewwww!
even though they weren’t married at the time?
The blind says that the host should “oust” mother’s little helper (which is a nickname for valium). I took it to mean that they should stop taking the drug, not that it’s necessarily a woman.
Did anyone see the stuff about Rachael Ray’s husband? Two women tipped off the tabloids so the paps could follow and photograph them meeting the husband. Their story was that he had a thing he liked to do that he would no divulge to his wife because he didn’t want to gross her out–but it was that he liked “bathroom” stuff during sex. The women said they never actually had intercourse with him—just humiliated him with bathroom stuff.
And she had a health problem recently and keeps an insane schedule—so that combination could lead to using a drug to make it through the day.
There has also been a lot of speculation about Dr. Phil and his wife Robin, and they are considered a team. He is losing market share quickly and has done all kinds of things to stay relevant. They have him twittering all the time and taking trains to do therapy on the road, etc. There is a hyperactive sort of feeling about it. I had thought he was getting pretty dismissive about his audience and now he is taking calls from people who leave comments on his website and giving them airtime answering their questions.
It’s well known (and for years) that Mr. Rachael Ray likes to be peed on. That’s nothing new.
Dr. Phil is an interesting guess, though.
And # 2
The clue “While some shows have stars and hosts whom can be easily substitute”, makes me think that it’s NOT Kelly Ripa. She is extremely popular but could be replaced. Rachel Ray is a brand. And if “substitute” is not a typo (no “d” at the end)I think it’s a ref to making substitutes in cooking.
caught all the morning talks shows yesterday @ the dentist.
each girl had a different one on.
just saying… Ms. Walters seems to have lost her mind. She can barely string an intelligible sentence. I thought it age. Could be pills. ??
Ellen didn’t seem on anything. forgot how funny she is, literally laughed out loud.
Kathy Lee and the gals sitting with her, all seemed cracked out. between the 4 of them, they didn’t have a straight thought. Alas, they are not the star.
So I guess Babs – you can (& they have) subbed out the other yappers but you can’t sub out B.W. it’s her show.
I have to disagree it’s Barbara Walters. She’s a senior citizen, she doesn’t have to exert herself much over the show, and I can’t see her, at this stage, taking uppers and downers and lying awake at night over that dumb show. (but what do I know?) I can, however, imagine her falling asleep at staff meetings, LOL!….I thought of David Letterman immediately. We haven’t heard much more about his scandal, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t experiencing mucho fallout.
My first thought was David Letterman; it just seems to fit perfectly, EXCEPT he doesn’t seem like a pill-popper to me. He doesn’t drink and I *think* he stopped smoking after his heart surgery. Heck, I think he’s even given up coffee or cut way back. But, other than the pills
this just screams Letterman!
My first thought was Rosie O’Donnell, doesnt she have a new show in the works? I swear I read that somewhere. Also with the issues she is having with her wife, hmmmmm makes me wonder. BTW I am rolling my eyes at celebs!
Wanda Sykes? She’s on a network show and isn’t her talk show starting soon? and she’s married and don’t they have twins?
Ellen . would be rosie but she has no show!
I hope it’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck just because I hate her useless, ugly *.
I thought of her right away too.
But didn’t she just return from maternity leave this week? Not that she doesn’t have any contact with the show and producers when she’s gone, but this seems to be referring to someone who has been on the set consistently recently, so I don’t think it’s her.
Typical lib. You don’t just dislike her or disagree with her, you “hate” her.
Yeah it’s funny how libs are…they want tolerance and respect for their feelings and thoughts, yet they never seem to realize that they are the most intolerant, hateful, vicious group out there. They hate anyone who doesn’t think the way they do, yet they call others out for supposedly doing exactly what they are doing! You don’t see Hasselbeck name-calling and screaming like an out of control child (like so many liberal “celebs”), but SHE is the problem? Please.
Good job not stereotyping! How very progressive and tolerant of you.
P.S. THAT WAS SARCASM – every single one of you conservatives are pretty slow on the uptake when it comes to tongue-in-cheek references.
P.P.S. That was also sarcasm – you see, by making that statement I was contradicting myself, which would make me sound as ridiculous as you.
Judge Judy lol
I think it is Oprah. Her significant other and her are said to be having problems. Stedman (sp?) thinks that she is too involved with Obama. Ever since she backed Obama it is rumored that her ratings have been way down. Stedman wants her to distance herself from Obama and focus on her career as a talk show host.
and there’s the rumors about Oprah and Gayle…
Is the palm tree in the picture a clue? Like it’s an LA based talk show.
Chewy on Chelsea Latley. They don’t call him the hardest working Mexican side kick midget on t.v. for nothing. I also hear that in some circles he’s called the godfather of soulful salsa slinging sidekicks… ok I just ran out of James brown references. Can someone help me out?
Rachel Ray.
What about Wendy Williams, she’s fairly new to the t.v show game and her husband was being sue for sexual harassment.
maybe its a guy, could be letter there is alot more going on with him
Since this is BG’s, we can trust the picture is a clue.
I like the palm tree that Sinimin noticed. I think it does mean LA.
It must be Conan, no?
Could it be Bonnie Hunt?
its ellen that girl loves her booze and so does portia
I hope it is Jay Leno. Could be Conan, though. The palm tree in the corner,he moved to LA to do the Tonight Show….
Rosie’s wife has moved out of their Manhattan apartment according to radar online

Did no one think Pat Sejack (sp?)? The colors remind me of Wheel of Fortune and there are “Z”s in the pic…is that a stretch? No one can replace him and i think i heard about him being into pills? Egh, just a thought.
It’s Ellen. She has been acting very distracted on her show lately. Her smile isn’t genuine and she isn’t funny. Watch her show with the sound turned off and you will see how unhappy she is by watching her face. I guess Portia might not be “the one” as Ellen is famously known to say about every woman she has ever dated.
LL: I was so hoping it wasn’t her but, I’ve watched her show/s since her beginnings and since this thread, I’ve paid particularly close attention. Yesterday’s show was almost painful to watch. David Spade was more lucid and on cue than Ellen. She’s mentioning Portia more than ever before. This is scandalous! She draws a broad fanbase (conservatives included) and IS the show.
Unfortunately, I have to change my guess to Ellen.
I’m so bummed out
Wanda Sykes?
Neely O’Hara?
