The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet
|
The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet is a morning program.
Produced by FOX, the show first aired on January 22, 2007 to a number of markets originally through Fox and MyNetworkTV, most in the Fox Television Stations Group. Hosted by Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy, the program consists of celebrity interviews, audience participation, and segments relating to viewers[1].
Jerrick and Huddy have hosted other news shows in the past, notably DaySide and Fox & Friends Weekend, a weekend morning show, both on the Fox News Channel, and both of which appear to be part of what the new show is based upon.
In February 2007, the show was syndicated to many ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates where a MyNetworkTV or FOX station doesn't carry it.[2]
The program is now cleared in 68 markets overall, including 25 of the top 30.[3][4] However, some of these stations will not debut the programs until the fall.
On January 23, 2008 The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet was renewed for a 2nd season. [1]
Social Critiques of Hosts
Television critics have noted that the program is unique in having two single hosts, who openly play up their marital status, seemingly abandoning traditional dictates that television morning hours be limited to "family values and sanctimony".[5] Thus, the hosts' on-screen personas ("a man who, because he loves the ladies too much or not enough, shuns long-term relationships, and an attractive, over-30 woman who has pursued her career rather than marrying and regrets it") are designed to appeal to single viewers who have previously been uncatered to in the morning. Jerrick is almost 20 years Huddy's senior and has a 30-year old daughter from his marriage, while Huddy, who has been married once, does not have children.
Spaghetti Cat/The Soup
In a recent episode of The Soup, a clip was featured on the show. During the scene a random clip of a "cat eating spaghetti" was shown. The clip is usually used to censor suggestive dialogue. A "Spaghetti Cat" puppet usually pops up next to Joel McHale currently, as a running joke.
