The Nate Berkus Show, commonly referred to as The Nate Show, is a syndicated talk show hosted by interior designer Nate Berkus, which premiered on September 13, 2010.

The series is one of three spinoffs of The Oprah Winfrey Show; both Dr. Phil (which, like The Oprah Winfrey Show, is produced and distributed by CBS Television Distribution) and The Dr. Oz Show (produced and distributed by Sony Pictures Television) are the other two, although The Doctors (also produced and distributed by CBS Television Distribution) itself is a spinoff of Dr. Phil.

Development and production

The show is produced by Harpo Productions and Sony Pictures Television, and taped in HD video at CBS studios in New York.^[1][2] It is being distributed by Sony, after Sony and NBC Universal made agreements to launch the show on all 10 NBC owned and operated stations, as well as Harpo Productions.^[3]

The show’s premiere has come in response to the cancellation of The Bonnie Hunt Show in which it was not renewed for the 2010-11 season. As a result, most NBC stations (especially NBC owned and operated stations) were having trouble finding daytime programming. Broadcasting and Cable reported that NBC syndicated daytime programming, aside from The Ellen DeGeneres Show, "have been largely out of the daytime game,"^[4] primarily because of low to lukewarm ratings for Bonnie Hunt's show.

In August 2010, it was announced that the first guest on the show is confirmed to be Dolly Parton which premiered on September 13, 2010.

Ratings

When the show debuted, Nate Berkus has a 1.1 rating, which was the highest rating for a new daytime talk show,^[5] although the rating showed only half of what the ratings for Dr. Oz was.
