EXCLUSIVE: A new panel talk show with female hosts is entering the daytime space. I’ve learned that a syndicated talker hosted by actress-singer Tamera Mowry (Tia & Tamera), singer Tamar Braxton (Braxton Family Values), singer-actress Adrienne Bailon (The Cheetah Girls), TV personality Jeannie Mai (How Do I Look?) and comedian Loni Love will be getting a summer trial run on some of the Fox-owned stations. The exact markets and time periods are still being worked out but I hear the show, produced by Telepictures, is eyeing a July 8 launch. Titled The Real, the talker is said to be in the vein of The View and The Talk, but with a younger and entirely ethnic panel. (All five hosts are under 40.) The Real is looking to follow in the footsteps of another Telepictures syndicated talk show, Bethenny, which had a successful summer run on Fox stations last summer before getting a nationwide launch this fall.
Wow this has potential. I am definitely here for Jeannie, Loni and Tamar. Wish they would replace Adrienne Bailon with Nene or Queen Tiffany Pollard though
The show looks pretty good and with Loni on the show I'm sure it'll be funny. I honestly wish they'd replace Tamar with someone else, she's just TOO much. I'm not really bothered by Adrienne, I think she'll be alright. Overall, it looks nice and I'll be watching.
