Her intentions are good, but the execution is terrible. She is indeed trying too hard.
The great thing about Rosie was she did her little opening, she connected with her audience (studio audience, too!) then sat down and talked about current events with her piano man John McDaniel. THEN the rest of the show was guests and segments.
Megan should have taped in New York. That would have helped, too.
Very sadly, I don't think the show will last. Megan is a great personality, but she is missing some key elements for a successful talk show.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
