32 Talk Show Host Innovations

After Rachel Ray's win for best talk show at last night's Daytime Emmy Awards, I decided to put together a collection of Trend Hunter's favorite talk shows and talk show hosts.

From Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah to Tyra Banks, this cluster has everything from your favorite Daytime Emmy Award nominees.

Implications - Instead of merely being daytime mouthpieces for social issues and new novel fiction, talk show hosts are increasingly becoming fashion, style and product icons. Because they dominate daytime programming, hosts like Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah have a monumental influence on a huge demographic of consumers. How they act, what they wear and the products they support are now things that those who love these hosts pay any small amount of attention to.
