In reply to nylund.

I agree the guest are underwhelming, however I believe that her guest picks are very intentional, and that they are seeking a very specific demographic of viewer.
There have been numerous times when I see an actor promoting something and they are in NYC promoting on other shows, and think to myself "Why wouldn't Sherri have them on her show? She has a major national daytime talk show."
They are not seeking Wendy's audience. A "major" star to you and I, may be a "complete nobody-never heard of them" to Nancy in Idaho. Everything is done with intention.
