I started off watching "Talk Soup" with host John Henson. I thought that he was very funny and I thought that the premise of the show was pretty good... Showing the "funny" clips from all of the other daytime and late night shows. I loved John Henson as a host- I never missed an episode. After John Henson left, I expected to hate the next host. After I saw Hal Sparks for the first time, I loved him! Although Hal isn't the same as John, I didn't feel that the show lost anything. I did however feel like the show lost something when Hal left and gave the purple chair (which finally reappeared) over to Aisha Tyler. I now rarely watch the shows and I long to see the episodes with either John or Hal hosting. For those that hated Hal- I read an interview that he did and I agree with him. - John was a guy's guy and Hal was more of a girl's guy. "Talk Soup" is still a show that you should check out sometime.
