Rumor has it AMC is tinkering around with the idea of a post - Walking drained talk show . But before you embark on eye rolling yourself in to a capture inducing semiconsciousness , hear us out . This show could be the start of something smart as a whip , if they follow these simple guidepost .
Vultureis report that the higher ups over at AMC see an slant to make a quick buck with a flash and easy lecture show rolling in off the viewership from their very successful Walking Dead serial . Using Bravo TV ’s roaring realism TV talk show Watch What happen : Live as a templet , sources are saying that a pilot has already been filmed with Nerdist blogger Chris Hardwick ( whom you may think doling out dry insults to a sea of hormones , over on MTV ’s 90s dating serial Singled Out ) .
AMC has even gone as far as to charter out Bravo ’s WWH executive director producer , who helped the Andy Cohen - host late Nox call - in talky rake in 1.5 million viewers ( beating The Daily Show ) . This could be the start of something glorious for genre buff . But we beg AMC , follow these simple rules , and you ’ve get some dynamite programming on your hands .
It Must Be Live
citizenry do n’t want to catch a host softball game a caboodle of pre - approved questions to actors , that ’s what videodisk extras and Leno are for . This show must be live . Part of the appeal of Bravo ’s WWH are the demented folk who call in , and call out various invitee and speak their minds about their favorite moments . Plus there ’s a very large segment of the talk show dedicated to resolve questions from Twitter . Which not only give the show a sensory faculty of audience participation , but sometimes steers the conversation . It can only generate buzz for AMC and compel more people to tune in . We recognise that they ’ve already take a pilot , but that could be just the intro , who have it off ?
Answer The Tough Questions
We do n’t want to hear the same story about how the actor who plays Glenn overhaul out the first week of shoot in Atlanta , over and over again . A little color is great , but we can not and will not hear to half an hour of fluff . Address the big stuff , the rooter will observe you for not push aside the literal story . After all there ’s only so long you’re able to dance around the keen bald-headed elephant in the room that is Frank Darabont ’s divergence . Hell , let him call in to release a program line himself if he ’s game ( doubtful ) . undertake the fans head on by answering their twitter queries then move on . They ’ll love you for it , and tune in next week once they ’ve find something else to be pissed / excited about .
Random “ Celebrity ” Pairings
I ’ve rest on to watch Andy Cohen ’s WWH show just base on the randos Bravo managed to book each night . Here ’s a inclination of people who have made it on WWH , Jackee Harry , Denise Richards , Sarah Jessica Parker , Kristen Johnston , and Jerry O’connell . It ’s a veritable whose who of what the hell . AMC needs to find the rando swot eq of these phratry . Here are our suggestions : Brent Spiner , Rob Zombie , The Trio from Buffy , Rider Strong , Eli Roth , Fred Savage , Matt Smith ( Hardwick knows him , it could bechance ) , Craig Ferguson , Felicia Day , Danny Pudi , and Seth Green . You ca n’t recount us you would n’t watch Craig Ferguson talk about zombi spirit slaying and then goad Jon Bernthal for being such a dick as Shane in Walking Dead . They would write song about that moment .
Use What You ’ve Got
AMC already has a collection of beloved cult Creator and actors such Breaking Bad ’s Giancarlo Esposito , Mad Men ’s Vincent Kartheiser , and Robert Kirkman at the ready . expend them ! Hell , hide a compulsory clause in Jon Hamm ’s contract that he has to show up on the AMC public lecture show at least once , but we bet he ’d do it in any case because he ’s game for a short fun . We ’d even go as far to say the season conclusion for walk Dead should have a very special talk show and invite the showrunners ( Breaking Bad ’s Vince Gilligan , Mad Men ’s Matthew Weiner and , urm , walk Dead ’s Glen Mazzara ) to sit down and have a veridical discussion about making good TV .
Booze
Bravo TV employs a generous three - drink - minimum policy . Sober people are no fun to watch on TV . Keep the drinks flowing . Loose lips sink zombi ships , and make for better observance .
If this work for Walking Dead , we read that AMC is expect to extend this post show wrap up after all of their beloved dramas . voice good to us , but only if they make it live .
