The Caroline Rhea Show is an American syndicated variety/talk show hosted by Caroline Rhea. It premiered on September 2, 2002, and ran until May 21, 2003. The show was regarded as the successor to The Rosie O'Donnell Show ; Rosie O'Donnell selected Rhea, who had hosted the last few weeks of Rosie, as her replacement. [1]
In many ways, The Caroline Rhea Show was similar to its predecessor The Rosie O'Donnell Show and the more successful The Ellen DeGeneres Show ; all three programs were daytime talk shows that were run like nighttime talk shows, with monologues and house bands and celebrity (and sometimes non-celebrity) guests.
Unlike O'Donnell's daytime show, on which audience members opened the shows by announcing the day's guests, announcer Chip Zien would begin episodes of The Caroline Rhea Show by saying, "Live from New York, it's The Caroline Rhea Show! On today's show: [names of guests]...Here's Caroline!" The first five words, "Live from New York, it's," mimicked the opening tagline to Saturday Night Live , produced in the neighboring Studio 8-H. The show's intro song was Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline," [2] and the audience would often sing along, vocalizing the three notes after the song's eponymous chorus and chanting "so good, so good" in response to "good times never seemed so good."
Like its predecessor, The Caroline Rhea Show was taped in Studio 8-G at NBC's Rockefeller Center Studios in New York City. The show's house band was led by trumpeter Chris Botti. [3] Former David Bowie guitarist and musical collaborator Carlos Alomar was the musical director. [4]
Some stations that aired Rosie also aired Caroline Rhea, but some (like WABC-TV in New York, which gave the former Rosie spot to The Wayne Brady Show ) aired the show in an undesirable late-night time slot.
Most television markets that had aired the show replaced it with The Ellen DeGeneres Show , which was offered by the syndicator of both Rhea's and O'Donnell's show, Warner Bros. Television's Telepictures division. New York station WLNY-TV, which was a secondary carrier of both series, added Ellen while WABC did not; it was instead given to WNBC.

A talk show is a television programming, radio programming or Podcast genre structured around the act of spontaneous conversation.
