Juliet Huddy Funky Wardrobe

Juliet sported an interesting wardrobe choice this week - now I am not mocking it - for the most part I always love what Huddy wears - but it did remind me of a flower-power type outfit.

What do you think?











































Join the Huddy revolution!

Juliet Huddy in New York Times

Do any of you all see the big feature that the New York Times wrote yesterday on The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet?

A few excerpts:

He’s smarmy. She’s contrived. He leers at girls like an old stage ham. She talks about freezing her eggs and getting her breasts done. Together they’re Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy, Fox’s new morning pair, who use their unholy chemistry to pervert the breakfast hour on “The Morning Show With Mike and Juliet.” We owe these two a warm, warm welcome. [...]

So what is the relationship Mr. Jerrick and Ms. Huddy are performing? I argue this: They are playing an older 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.

This is a kind of marvelous city duo — and a nice breakthrough for morning shows. No giggly hot mom like Kelly Ripa; no model of rectitude and self-sacrifice like Ms. Vieira. And no good old Reege. Or good young Matt.

Instead they’re a little sleazy, Mike and Juliet. And a little lonely. Morning shows have long been seen as having two audiences: busy, important people on their way to work, who want to know news, traffic and weather, and stay-at-home mothers and housewives, who like mellower segments about relationships and household economy.

I encourage you to read the whole article, which is actually a great review for the show.
Virginia Heffernan really captures something about this duo - that they have so much more to offer then Regis/Kelly and Meredith/Matt. They are imperfect, obsessed with the craziness of life (ie: sex and relationships) and are just like the rest of us.

I hope this endorsement brings more viewers in - to find out what fans of the show already know - Juliet is great.

Juliet Huddy Going National!

I read some great news this morning about Huddy's new morning show.
From TV Week:

Twentieth Television has now cleared daytime chatfest “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet” in 70 percent of the country. The pickups solidify the show’s base for a full national launch in the fall.

The series, which is currently on the air on a number of stations owned by Fox, will launch in varying timeframes depending on the station. Some will begin airing the show within the next couple of weeks, while others will wait for the fall depending on the station’s immediate needs.

The syndicator has added twelve new affiliates, increasing its roster to 68 markets overall with 25 of the top 30 represented. Among the new affiliates are: KTVU-TV in San Francisco, KCRA-TV in Sacramento, WRTV-TV in Indianapolis and KUSI-TV in San Diego. Among the outlets picking up the show are stations from the Cox, Hearst-Argyle, Sinclair and Raycom groups.

“These stations represent what we are looking for in new affiliates for “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet,” including strong time periods and a viewership that matches our target audience,” said Bob Cook, President, Twentieth Television.

“The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet” launched Jan. 22 and is broadcast live from the FOX studios in New York, Monday through Friday.


Increased exposure is always a good thing. And while Juliet Huddy is ironing out her morning routine, this fall she can expect to hit a ton of new markets. Fantastic news, and a sign that this show is staying put for the long haul.
