For those of us who can remember when Oprah<\/a> first gained massive popularity in the \u201890s, it was also the time of a great influx of \u201890s talk show hosts. EVERYONE had a show, and I mean EVERYONE (even Robin Givens and Tempestt Bledsoe, aka Vanessa Huxtable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you were a black woman, had vocal cords and a neck that swiveled, you got a talk show. And shoulder pads<\/a>, because you couldn\u2019t be a \u201890s talk show host without shoulder pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that Oprah has left network TV to helm her OWN (pun intended) network, there are a new crop of talk show hosts itching to take her place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We now have Bethenny (who did a partial swivel on \u201cThe Real Housewives of New York\u201d), Wendy (whose neck and wigs both swivel), several \u201cThe View\u201d knockoffs (including one that rhymes with the aforementioned title), a dude from Jerry Springer and a few British guys who I\u2019m not actually sure why they have shows (British white guys are genetically incapable of swiveling their heads). Even Ricki Lake, the younger, New Yorkier version of Oprah, is making a comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we welcome (sort of) the new crop of folks, we do want to pay homage to the talk show sistas whose heads swiveled a path for the talk show hosts of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
