Vivica A. Fox Joins New Urban Version Of ABC's The View

We just discovered from our sources that there is about to be an urban version of The View, ABC’s very successful day time talker. We hear that the hosts for the new show (tentatively titled The Mix), are Vivica A. Fox, Tony Rock, Miguel Nunez, Melysssa Ford, and Sheryl Underwood is created and executive produced by Michael Mcquarn (who currently is producing Tyrese Gibson’s new show on BET titled First In) and Tracey Edmonds, and written by comedian Chris Spencer. The show’s first guest is rapper/actor Mos Def and the pilot is currently being shopped to the networks.

Sounds horrible, too many Divas and no real talking heads.

The cast doesn't excite me at all. Sorry!

Nice idea, but I think it would sell better if there was a Latina woman! You need that contrast and conflict of interest to give us excitement to watch--a Latina gives another slant on any topic--and she also brings to the show a whole gang of Latino audience to help make this show successful--DUH! I would say maybe include a white chick that's 'down' or urban. After all, it's more of an 'urban' talk show than a 'Black' show, right? Then you need a Latina and an urban white chick to round it out. We like Tony Rock, and we know Sheryl brings the funny and the 'real' side, but what would Miguel and Melysssa contribute? He's just taking up a spot and Melysssa is just a pretty face---NOT needed! Replace Miguel with a Latina chick--replace Melysssa with a cool urban white chick and you got a good show that I know people would definitely watch! Remember, there has to be some real conversation and knowledge to make this work---make sure these folk can say more than 'ya know what I mean?'.
