Dear Bonnie,
I'm writing to find out if you'd listen to a song by my daughter on video. You'll see, she's an awesome singer/song writer/guitarist!
Could you let us know where to send the video?
Thank you,
Rhonda Wynne
Bonnie, I too really enjoy your show. I have been logging onto my computer daily since I was working the day Craig was supposed to be on there. (Note that I simply call him Craig. Half the people tuning into your show that day probably refer to him as that alone.) How shocked was I today when I started reading these comments and found that you paid no attention to him.
The man is an exceptional country singer, family man, dedicated serviceman and philanthopist. I have been reading the comments of those who did see the show and have stated their disappointment. I must follow their lead in voicing my own.
I bragged to all the ladies at work who make fun of what a HUGE Craig fan I am about how you were finally getting some good country singers on your show. Now.....I guess I have egg on my face. I now have to explain the reason I cant find a clip, is because you ignored him.
Very sad in Blue Springs, Missouri
Terry Forbes
Never having watched the show I decided to tape it because of Craig Morgan. When I watched the show that night, I was shocked at the rudeness you displayed toward your musical guest Ms. Hunt: you did not even say "Hello" to Craig Morgan, you indeed ignored him. What a shameful act toward a military veteran, a very successful down home country singer and a great family man.
After reading some of the glowing comments about you and your show in this forum, I'd like to think that you are the great lady that is described by your viewers and would book Craig Morgan again and actually have him sing a song or two and be the musical guest that he was billed as.
Totally disappointed
Well that was so disappointing. I was excited to hear that Craig Morgan was to be on the show. I even took time out before leaving home for a few days to tape the show. I got back late that night and watched it. You did not even mention Craig by name. Except for folks who follow him who would have known. What a complete waste to have a such a talented singer, songwriter, and musician on your show and not use those talents nor even mention his name. Bad form Bonnie and staff. I expected so much more. It would be like having you (Bonnie) on a show and not having you either act or talk. That would be a waste. You most definitly have a talent for acting, both comedic and dramatic, but maybe hosting a talk show is not your "cup of tea" so to speak.
Very disappointed!
Bonnie 0h! Bonnie! i laughed til my innards tickled so much i cried. i had to go back six times (i record your show) during the bbq segment. those competitions leave me laughing so hard. my happy giggling kept me from hearing what was said so i had to go back to re-watch.
the incorporation of the product advertising is fine w/ me...reminds me of the olden days when that was common.
i find Andy very funny. Conan had become "icky" to me and i could no longer watch him, associating him w/ some visuals and jokes that were YUCK and repulsive. the show was better w/ Andy and that is an excellent choice to have him return which will be the only reason i will try watching Conan again.
The lubriderm segment was not so good as it is a serious subject and was not covered too well and not very credible, considering a product was being pushed during the segment.
Did you see your friend Steve Martin on American Idol. Golleeee, i watched him when he was on Smothers Bros. i am a BIT older than you....& a lot of people, for that matter.
THANKYOU for being you and for your program.
My name is Bonnie and you are doing Bonnie's proud!!! And i also HATE getting dressed "up".
Hi Bonnie,
I think you would enjoy these.. :)
xoxo Carrie
WHY GOD MADE MOMS
Hope you have a good laugh...
Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:
Why did God make mothers?
1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house .
3. To help us out when we were getting born.
How did God make mothers?
1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.
What ingredients are mothers made of ?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.
Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
1. We're related.
2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.
What kind of little girl was your mom?
1. My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
3. They say she used to be nice.
What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?
Why did your mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.
Who's the boss at your house?
1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.
What's the difference between moms & dads?
1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them..
3 Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.
What does your mom do in her spare time?
1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long..
What would it take to make your mom perfect?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.
If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.
Hi, Bonnie I love your show! Please can you help me. I'm a stage 4 cancer patient. My Breast Cancer started 18 years ago. To make it short we are broke we have no money. I don't know where else to turn to, I have contacted everyone. Please can you help. Beverly
Bonnie,
I have been in the audience 6 times this year. I feel that you are a great actress, talk show host and humanitarian. Your show is my first time as an audience member and I truly enjoyed myself so much that I have kept on coming back. You definitely know how to treat an audience!!!!!
In regards to the message from Annonymous, why do you feel that you can express your negative opinions on this site? Everyone has a right to be as they wish. You are a very negative person and perhaps you ought to take an inventory as to why.....
I feel sorry for your opinionated self and perhaps you ought to stop watching the show. Get out in the world and spread some kindness!!!! Bonnie is a wonderful person, puts alot of herself in every show and does not deserve this treatment.
Try spreading kindness, or nothing at all.....
Irene
Hi Bonnie
I love your show, but the product promos this week have been excruciating to watch. I know its a bad economy and I assume you're just trying to balance your year-end books. I read that you have a new producer coming next season. I hope he can get you back on track.
I also hope you'll bring more diversity to your guest schedule next year (i.e. people of color, gay-friendly guests, etc.) I think you're fabulous and hope your second season is even better than your first.
Have a wonderful summer vacation!
Dear Bonnie, like others I am reading I saw your segment on skin cancer. I have had it and I too find myself without insurance at this time. The gentleman said there were free screening, I really need to find out where as I have 2 new spots I would like to have checked. Can you please tell us how to get that info.. where they are ect.
Thanks, I love you and your show...

Hi, Bonnie, I finished watching a tape of Wednesday's show and want to thank you for reminding everyone about skin cancer prevention. The reason I was watching a tape is because I spent the day at John Wayne Cancer Clinic with my mother while she had a lesion removed from her arm. My mom was diagnosed with Stage III metastatic melanoma 15 months ago. At her one-year checkup, she showed no signs of the disease. Sadly, a lesion appeared since then but Mom is determined to fight and we are grateful for the tremendous care that she gets at JWCC. The staff at JWCC is fantastic, especially Dr Richard Essner and Helen, the nurse who keeps him in line. What a blessing they are.
Again, thanks for getting the message out there; I'm off to buy my Lubriderm products!
Anita
ps: Mom and I have attended several of your tapings, making great memories that will last a lifetime. Tomorrow, I will attend one of the season's last tapings without her but I know Mom will be watching you from home; you raise our spirits and make even the toughest days seem brighter! Thank you, thank you.
Hi Bonnie and your wonderful family! I felt the need to first and foremost apologize for the ignorance of some people's inability to forget the saying, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"!! We were taught this at a young age and I swear I have only heard my older brother quip a few sentences here and there in his 45 years. Anyway, the reason for my comment is to tell you "something nice" AND I find it to be quite funny, ...actually hilarious,...and YOU have said it at least twice that I have heard. I believe it was just last Monday, but it may have been Friday as I watch you everyday but I have a very bad memory. Oh, it was the day you had Dreyers Ice Cream...anyway, as I listen to everything you say, there was a strange noise and you asked, "Was that you, Nick?" Now say it three times..fast or slow.(lol) I hope you continue with your show for many years to come! You are a wonderful, good-hearted person..just like your Mom. Good luck and don't let the jerks get you down.
Dear Bonnie and Staff,
Today is the first day in 'forever' that I missed the show. I was in the process of moving my daughter home from college Yea! I'm sure it was a great show as ever but bring back the dogs I really feel good about them getting adopted.
That being said I would like to respond to the"person anon" who wrote in at 5:53 today. first off if you don't like the show I'm pretty sure you have a little button on your tv that lets you change the channel> Secondly, most of the comments in this area are positive or at least general, whats up with you, did someone eat your breakfast??????? You should find a hobby it seems you have too much time on your hands!
I know this is getting long but I was so mad when I read that post that my fingers just wouldn't stop. Keep up the great job AND we will see you for years to come! I love the show and the staff I really sure the band does not need to wear suits either! Patty Poland, Ohio
Hello Bonnie~Your talk show is the only one I view. It is so funny and refreshing and genuine. I feel that you enjoy interviewing your guests and that those who work with you truly appreciate you. Keep up the fine work. Everyone's good efforts really shine.
My Dearest Miss Bonnie,
I've been watching your show now from day 1.
I'm wondering why you always wear Black?
You've got a cute figure and it would be
nice to see you in a dress.
It's just so funeral looking everyday.
Now, I want to know when will tickets be
available online? It's not letting me
try to book tickets. Where it says click
on the month,nothing happens.
I'm trying to get my sister out of her house
after 2 years she's not wanting to go and do
anything after our Momma passed away. Our
Father passed away 9 months earlier. So even
though I have a hard time dealing with it she
worries me being so shut in.
I know she loves your show as do I and maybe,
Just Maybe, I might be able to trick her into
going for a ride and just keep going.
Our drive would be a mere 7 hrs. (giggle)
Please if I can get tickets it would be
in September or October that I can get away.
Take care and love and joy be with you,
Cat (Discovery Bay) Ca.
I love this show but please STOP the blatant sponsorship promos that have suddenly started!! Today's show was the worst - Bush beans AND Lubriderm??? The Tropicana oj yesterday was bad enough! I watch or DVR your show every day but will stop watching if your producers think the audience is so stupid as to believe your product endorsements are real. Give me a break. It's beneath you, Bonnie.
I love your show! I was concerned however about the information that the dermatologist neglected to give regarding UV rays. Research has shown that we need at least 20 minutes per day of unrestricted UV rays for good health, and continual sunscreen use prevents that. Also, so many of the sunscreens are unhealthy; many contain DEET and other harmful ingredients. Cancer can actually be caused by the harmful chemicals in sunscreens, and in fact the increase in skin cancer has led to the belief that sunscreen could be the cause, since so many are using it these days! I am especially concerned about these harsh chemicals being used on babies and small children. There are organic and other healthy sunscreens available, but common sense should also be a part of sun protection. Don't stay in the sun too long, wear protective clothing, etc.
Hi, Bonnie, I love your show. I just wish that you would give out to your viewers some of the same free items given to those on your show for watching. Somer of the other tv shows do this without naming any of them. Whoever logs in to their site on that day can recieve some of the same items. It would be nice to have one of those baskets full of the lotions that are good for your skin especially durning the summer. Thank you, and tell your mom hello!

Love the show. The segment with Craig morgan, you acted like you did not know who he was, you did not even introduce him. Just a little info on Craig, he was in the Army for a long time, before he got out to do country music. He is huge in the country music world. He also dose so much for the Military still to this day.
Today, Wednesday May 20, 2009, at the end of the show there was an Asian gentleman talking about skin cancer and where you can get screened for free?! I missed the info by ...that much. Please email me with that specific info. I am a skin cancer candidate and hve no medical insurance at all!
Thank you kindly,
T. Jenae Montes
