Menopause may be the catalyst for a television comeback for former PIX11 host Tamsen Fadal! After stepping away from the small screen due to menopausal symptoms, Fadal is now exploring new opportunities as the potential new face of daytime TV.
Fadal, a former news anchor who has since rebranded herself as an author and podcast host, is taking preliminary meetings with various industry players. With the recent cancellations of popular talk shows like Kelly Clarkson's and Sherri Shepherd's, there's a potential opening for Fadal to make her mark.
But here's where it gets intriguing: Fadal's husband, Ira Bernstein, is a co-founder of Debmar, the company behind Wendy Williams and Sherri Shepherd's shows. So, could Fadal be stepping into her husband's world of syndicated daytime talk?
While it might seem like an obvious choice for Fadal to replace Shepherd, sources close to the situation insist that's not the case. "She is definitely not replacing Sherri," one source revealed. Instead, Debmar-Mercury, the production company behind these shows, is in discussions and development for various platforms, but nothing is set in stone yet.
However, Fadal has been approached by several other studios for TV opportunities, including her successful video podcast. With her focus on her podcast, "The Tamsen Show," where she discusses women's health with famous friends, Fadal is already making waves in the talk show space.
As for Shepherd, she's not going down without a fight. She vowed to keep the show alive in some capacity, promising to "continue to spread joy" and stay connected with her viewers.
So, will Fadal make a triumphant return to television? And what does this mean for the future of daytime talk shows? These are the questions on everyone's minds. What are your thoughts? Do you think Fadal has what it takes to make a successful comeback? Share your opinions in the comments below!
