Vicki! is a syndicated talk show hosted by actress and Carol Burnett Show alumna Vicki Lawrence from 1992 to 1994.[1] The show earned a number of Daytime Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Talk Show Host, though it was short-lived and ended after its second season due to creative conflicts behind the scenes between Lawrence and the show's distributor, Group W (whose stations formed the main group carrying the series).[2]

## Background

[edit]

After the end of Mama's Family and hosting the daytime network version of Win, Lose or Draw for NBC, Vicki Lawrence was put together with Group W to do a talk show in the vein of its long-running shows with Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas, as Lawrence had no interest in hosting a tabloid talk show.[3][4]

## Cancellation

[edit]

The show was renewed after the first season, with Lawrence gaining more creative control of the series through the summer hiatus.[5] The show ended after the second season as it became clear the mid-afternoon Griffin/Douglas model with celebrity guests was outmoded, along with tension behind the scenes to move towards the tabloid format becoming more popular and Group W (which was about to go through a deal to acquire CBS and switch their stations to their network) decided to recruit actress Marilu Henner to host a show of her own as a replacement in the tabloid format, which only lasted one season.[4][6][7]
