The Meredith Vieira Show is an American talk show hosted by Meredith Vieira and produced by NBCUniversal Television Distribution which aims to brighten people's days with inspirational stories, celebrity sketches, interviews and informational pieces, featuring music from a live house band and original digital shorts.
Vieira has hosted a number of shows in her TV career - The View, The Today Show and Who Wants to be a Millionaire among the most notable - but she's never had her own talk show... until now.
The self-titled, daily programme adds some twists to the typical daytime talk format. The show's set at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York resembles Vieira's home - even down to her pet-ravaged furniture and features staples usually seen on late-night shows: a house band, led by Everett Bradley of the E Street Band, and a sidekick, Jon Harris, who also doubles as the show's announcer.
Elements that daytime viewers are used to include a mix of human-interest stories - featuring everyday people and celebrity guests and lifestyle segments that highlight Vieira's point of view.
The Meredith Vieira Show is produced and distributed in the U.S. by NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution. Meredith Vieira serves as Executive Producer along with Rich Sirop and Michael Glantz.
