Bonnie Hunt goes to daytime TV

Another daytime talk show? Apparently, but this one could have some promise. Why? It's got Bonnie Hunt.The Bonnie Hunt Show will be unscripted and low-key with a lot of audience interaction. The producers who back Ellen's and Tyra Banks's talk shows are behind Hunt, so shouldn't we be too?
My fondest memories of Hunt as an actress are not of TV (although her sitcom, Life with Bonnie, was pretty funny, just not my bag), but rather her roles in Jumanji and Jerry McGuire. I feel that those characters allowed Hunt to showcase her dry wit balanced with her gentle nature the best. But I do agree with the producers: Hunt's got personality.
Back to the unscripted: If Hunt's show remains unscripted and unpredictable, my guess is that they'll have a hit. Do you have any predictions as to whether or not Ms. Hunt can weather the daytime talk show competition?
