Bethenny Scores A Summer Premiere Date

The supermom behind the Skinnygirl brand is hitting the daytime television sector this summer on Fox. But will Bethenny Frankel pass the test run?

Bethenny Frankel's daytime talk show gets premiere date Bethenny Frankel is everywhere -- with her Skinnygirl cocktails, novel and upcoming film. But one project that won't exactly go nationwide just yet is her upcoming daytime talk show.

Bethenny, a daily talk show from the leading lady of Bethenny Ever After, will be getting a test run on only six Fox-owned TV stations in New York, Los Angeles and four other markets.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network will test the one-hour show on WNYW New York (11 a.m.), KTTV Los Angeles (2 p.m.), WTXF Philadelphia (11 a.m.), KDFW Dallas (1 p.m.), KSAZ Phoenix (11 a.m.) and KMSP Minneapolis (10 a.m.).

If all goes well, Bethenny will likely launch nationwide as soon as fall 2013. Test episodes are set to air for six weeks, beginning June 11.

"The program will feature Bethenny’s no-nonsense perspective on everything from pop culture and current events, to relationships, beauty, fitness and lifestyle segments," according to an announcement from Fox and Warner Bros. "The program will be an honest, informative and entertaining destination, where daytime viewers can learn, laugh and get inspired."

"The queen of too much information is coming to DAYTIME!" announced Frankel back in January. "It is going to be an exciting journey and I can't wait for you to join me. Thanks for being so loyal and supportive, without you, this wouldn't be happening. See you all this summer on Fox!"

This woman has no class, is no lady, disgusting talk show hostess who is only interested in "me, myself and I." Does she ever try to elevate herself? What is her education? Hope show is cancelled as it adds nothing to the world.

If Bethany has guests on her show...she will be sure to out-talk them....and in a very short time, audiences will become turned off by her abrasive takes on everyone and everything. I thought she was a refreshing breath of honesty at first, but now I cannot tollerate her speed-talking barbs in any capacity.

I will definitely be tuning in to watch! I love her show on Bravo and think that she is absolutely hilarious! She is so honest, sometimes too honest, and I think that will really help her in the talk show circuit. And the woman can talk anyone's ear off, so I think it will go great!
