Continuing the trend of gays and blacks running talk television (see: Wanda Sykes, Ellen), Oprah‘s home decorator-cum-household name Nate Berkus is getting his own syndicated chat fest.s He joins The O’s Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz as Oprah’s syndicated spin-offs, highlighting her winning strategy of using her own program to create insta-stars. And if Oprah opts to move her own namesake show to her struggling-to-launch OWN channel next year, she’s quickly filling the buffer to keep a presence in the syndication market.

Nate is an amazing guy. Not sure if he can carry a show, but I just think he’s fantastic.

Another talk show? OH WAIT! It’s Nate!! WOOF!!

I can’t keep up with these O-stars. Who’s next? The lady who lost her face when the chimp attacked?
I’d watch that show only because I like when people on TV black out their faces. I’m a sucker for humility, unlike O.

if he could have carried a show they would have launched him years ago. is the show going to be all about interior decorating?

I love Nate. I hope they show it overseas.

Ugh, please, first Wanda Sykes and her abominable show, and now another one of Okra’s minions. It’s too much. Get me outta here.
