My Talk Show is a daily comedic parody talk/variety television program that ran in first-run syndication from September 1990 to March 1991 in the United States and Canada.
However, despite Bass' attempt to host a talk show (attempt being the operative word, and at times awkward to the point that she had to even include the audience to help move things along, like asking an audience member to disregard the introduction paper he was asked to read and just proceed with welcoming the host), she would be accompanied by best friend and next door neighbor Angela Davenport, who also doubled as her sidekick, her brother-in-law Marty Dissler, Bucky Fergus, the town's multi-tasked city employee, her in-house organist (and "my old school nurse", as pointed out by Jennifer) Mrs. Battle and other Derby residents, especially when it came to the guests who were scheduled to appear on the show.
Midway through the series' run, Bass would be replaced by rival Anne-Marie Snelling (who previously made a habit of bursting in unexpectedly), owner and star of the Top Hat Dinner Theater, who had been jealous of Jennifer hosting a talk show from the beginning, and D.A.
Michael Patrick King (who would go on to create CBS's 2 Broke Girls many years later) was among the writers for the series, while Colin Mochrie (Debra McGrath's husband) did recurring appearances in several episodes.
Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave the series a B+, praising Stevenson's performance as "Remarkable — a resourceful actress who does a subtle, funny job of portraying someone who's charming but awkward, a little bit flustered on-camera," while commenting that "My Talk Show may be gimmicky, but it's an amusing, well-thought-out gimmick.
