- The Caroline Rhea Show
"The Caroline Rhea Show", a daytime
talk show , ran as a replacement to "The Rosie O'Donnell Show ". It lasted only one season (2002-2003). It was hosted byCaroline Rhea , who was hand-picked byRosie O'Donnell as her replacement.In many ways, "The Caroline Rhea Show" was similar to the more-successful "Ellen DeGeneres Show"; both programs were daytime talk shows that were run like nighttime talk shows, with
monologue s and house bands and celebrity (and sometimes non-celebrity) guests. Like with Rosie's daytime show, an audience member opened the show, by announcing the day's guests.Most television markets which 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 'sTelepictures division. Some stations that aired "Rosie" also aired "Caroline Rhea", but some (like WABC in New York, which gave the former "Rosie" spot to "The Wayne Brady Show ") moved the show to an undesirable late-night time slot.The show's house band was led by trumpeter
Chris Botti . FormerDavid Bowie guitarist and musical collaboratorCarlos Alomar was the musical director for this program.External links
