After gaining a rep as one of the best talk show guests on television, Bonnie Hunt will aim to bring that magic to her own series in “The Bonnie Hunt Show.” Debuting Sept. 8, Ms. Hunt finally brings her relatable comedic point of view to her own daytime talk show.
“We are taking a very specific focus on marketing Bonnie,” said Ken Werner, president of Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution. “We are moving to reach women who are home between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. who have a specific psychographic point of view where we believe they would relate to Bonnie. She has a distinctive voice and point of view that fills a hole on daytime schedules.”
“The Bonnie Hunt Show” will be taped daily so Ms. Hunt can offer her unique perspective on the day’s events. From entertainment and pop culture to the news, Ms. Hunt will talk to her audience and crew about anything and everything that’s on her mind. “The Bonnie Hunt Show” is produced by Bob & Alice Productions and paraMedia Inc. in association with Telepictures Productions and is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.

Ms. Hunt has served as a writer, director and producer and, as an actress, has received Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations. She earned critical acclaim in film, television and theater for roles in films including “Jerry Maguire” and “Finding Nemo.”
“Bonnie Hunt is an iconic personality and a proven entertainer with a distinctive comedic voice and point of view,” said Telepictures Productions President Hilary Estey McLoughlin. “She is the quintessential everywoman with an authenticity, likability and relatability that will connect with the daytime audience.”
