The Show AM
The Show AM debuted in 4 branches. Unlike The Show, The Show AM is a morning/tabloid talk show (like The View or Maury) instead of a game show. It uses the same set and microphone as The Show. The majority of The Show AM's audience is female, and the discussions range from fashion makeovers using simple items around the house (such as mustard) to angry confrontations among people in relationships. This also relates it again to Match Game by referencing the Match Game PM which aired later than the normal Match Game and allowed for less censorship.
