So when did Liza Minnelli turn into Jimmy Durante....

Rosie's Live Variety Show is on now.

I really really hope she pulls this off.

Network TV could use a Variety Show or two.

I use to love watching Ed Sullivan, The Smothers Brothers, Dean Martin.

It was good stuff.

1. That sounds like fun!

I grew up watching Ed Sullivan...

Saw the Beatles there when I was in college!

Good times, indeed!

:hi:

[CreekDog]

2. What is the appeal?

I just don't get it.

And I know she doesn't have wide appeal, but I don't even know why she appeals...

Ok, nevermind I'm just gonna :hide:

[WCGreen]

3. Guests do all the stuff....

6. She's got KEWL-NESS!

She's not a sveldte glamour girl and she's making it on her personality not her looks, although I think she's pretty cool looking too.

MEN do not have to be good looking to be successful in TV.

WOMEN do.

We are still pounding on that glass ceiling, don't you think?

Rosie's got it GOING ON!

[CreekDog]

7. she's cool?

this is not a teachable moment for me. i'm sorry. :hug:

but hey, i like Barry Manilow, so it's not like i can talk.

4. I hope she makes it too. I used to enjoy watching the old variety shows too

I think the audience is there if she finds it and keeps them coming back. Tonight's show has been okay. Maybe it will be better after the newness wears off and they are more comfortable doing a live show.

5. She needs a little more of Ed Sullivan and not so much Red Skelton...

She has to realize she ain't Carol Burnett

[UTUSN]

8. Was that a *bad* thing?!1 n/t

[WCGreen]

9. If you heard her singing....

You might think it was...

I give her credit, though. She still gave it a good try.
