E! Pulls Plug on Talk Soup


Talk Soup
, E! Entertainment Television's nightly talk-show clip fest that
became a wicked satire on the genre -- and the channel's first signature hit --
spooned out its last episode May 10.

E! ended Soup after 11 years on the channel -- a run that shot
original host Greg Kinnear to stardom elsewhere in TV and in the movies.

Other Soup hosts were John Henson, Hal Sparks (now a cast member on
Showtime's Queer as Folk) and Aisha Tyler.

Tyler, the show's most recent host, continues on The 5th Wheel, a
syndicated dating show.
