Ok, so I've only seen one episode of "The Mo'nique Show" on BET. Partly because I've been busy and taping them. But also because I had a hard time watching the one I saw. She was a bit of a mess. BUT, I have a feeling that she need time to settle into a groove.

This is woman who was given her own late night show based on her star power and her talent. Which is a HUGE accomplishment in and of itself. However, she has never had to simultaneously entertain and interview people. She did a fantastic job of interviewing the women at the Ohio prison where she filmed the special "I Coulda Been Your Cell Mate". But their stories were so much weightier and bigger than her jokes, so she fell back and gave hem room to express. If she can get more of that along the way, I think she'll find a way to calm it down. Because if not...she won't be on long!
