It’s hilarious! Jennifer, you were so freakin funny. Can’t wait to see more.
so exciting says
the clip looks great. i can not wait. tues nights!
raquel says
hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love the ribbon dancing.
Pam says
I love it!!!!!!! So funny. It’s like watching the radio broadcast! We don’t get the network it’s on, so how am I going to see the shows?
I think it’s going to be a HUGE hit! You two are so real and funny!
Congratulations. I can say I knew you when you had a little ol’ radio show!
Kim in Canada says
Is your show going to be on Fine Living in Canada as well? or will we have to wait for it to appear somewhere that we don’t expect to it be… like almost everything else??
Ariel says
Just love it! You didn’t clean up your act too much – the true you (both of you) comes through! Can’t wait to watch it!!
Emma in NY says
I love the clip of the show…it is hilarious! I am very proud of you both-I just wish Cablevision carried Fine Living Network :(.
A Hooker Named Domino says
The editing on this clip is outstanding. No other words.
kampmm says
You need to go to the Today Show website and watch Matt and Al do their “ribbon routine”. It’s hysterical. But you all have some of the same moves!! (I would have ended up doing the same thing and putting them in my hair!) It’s going to be a fun show – can’t wait.
Tina says
It looks like a hoot! I’m looking forward to the show.
jonothan in nashville says
love the clip, I’ve marked my calender, can’t wait to watch. Gook Luck to the both of you.
lindsay from pittsburgh says
looks like a lot of fun…can’t wait until its on! where did alexis get her awesome ring??
xoxo
Tracy says
The show is so cute and shiny and you both look pretty! It’s going to be so good. I don’t want you guys to become real big celebrities and then have to edit yourselves! I want you both to stay exactly the same!
probably not... says
I generally like the radio show and consider myself a “fan” but based on the clip, I will not watch the tv show. VH1 already invented “pop up video” and this is just the same thing without the music. Somewhat annoying, too. I found myself wishing for more Martha and WAAAY less Alexis and Jennifer. SORRY – hope I’m the minority!
Susy says
I just watched.. can’t wait to see more.. You guys are so funny… Good Luck with the show.
Teresa says
Love it. Seriously. I laughed and could totally relate to both of you (I can be crafty but have a hard time concentrating).
Very funny, I’m sure it will be a success!
monsterbox says
sooooo funny! OMG. So glad I get Fine Living…so excited for you guys. Jen–you look great & happy!!! The camera loves you both.
Bruxa says
I was starting to wonder what I’d be watching now that the olympics are finished~ can’t wait!
Sarah says
My mom once tried to make a Martha trellis for her yard. It was so hard, complicated and expensive she cursed Martha for years afterward! ha.
Looks like a fun show. :o)
Mary says
Looks fantastic. Can’t wait to watch it.
laura m. says
what fun!!!!! can’t wait for more!
i think there’s alot of us who yell at the tv set as martha works her magic!!!
excellent idea for a show.
JenniferM says
That was a great clip. Unfortunately,I don’t get fine living netork. Will there be a place where we can watch online?
Kate says
I liked it…laughed out loud
Laura in Arkansas to Pam says
On the Fine Living website, there’s a place where you can watch any episode of shows they air – so you’ll be able to watch the show online.
Courtney says
Hilarious – absolutely hilarious. I love it and can’t wait to for the full show to air!
Bridgette says
Soooooo F’N Funny!! Too bad I live in the boonies where there is no cable 🙁
Julie says
Just watched the sneak peek. It is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a good while! Can’t wait for the premier!
Keep up the great work!
Martha Fan says
I know this was all for fun and it did appear scripted were there any bloopers for you show. will we get so see bloopers?
Matt V says
Great concept and loved the clip! Hope it’s a big hit for you guys!!!! I’ve set my Tivo!
Nathan says
I love the old Martha shows and cannot wait to see you tear them apart. By the way your bows looked like shit! Your the best keep up the fun.
jenny hutt says
whatever, martha! was NOT scripted…whether good or bad i do not know but NOT scripted.

Lucille says
Loved it!! Ribbon dance was hysterical!! Good luck guys!
Canada Kathy says
OMG I was laughing so much. The clip is so funny. I don’t think we get FLN here on our cable, but will look for it elsewhere. Jennifer, I know this was taped during a very difficult time in your life. But if the clip was any indication, the show is going to be very funny. BTW, Jennifer, you looked great.
Susannah says
Hilarious!!! Had my husband laughing. He admits it occasionally, but he loves your radio show too. He’s even called in once.
I’ll get him to be a regular listener some day. 🙂
It was seriously like watching the radio show on t.v. Can’t wait to DVR it!
Your ribbon dance was priceless!
xo
Jane M says
Funny stuff. I’ll have to remember to tune in!
to Laura in Arkansas to Pam said says
I’ve been to the site..can you please leave instructions..I don’t see where we can watch shows at the website. T/Y.
lisa v. says
OMG !!! I have many times reacted and muttered like a loon to Martha’s over the top explanations or instructions to things no one would ever attempt !!! I love it .. you two are so cool….
Sarah N. says
Well now I get the clue!
abby says
Cool. Can’t wait. Is it going to be on once a week?
maggie says
can’t wait!
Theresa Rt'ichey says
Funny
Can’t wait!
barb from az says
That was so hysterical. Jennifer and Alexis are so perfect together. I can’t wait to see the show. Npw I want to make ribbon roses!!!! Or dance with ribbons..lol!!!
Sarah says
Jenny – is that your wedding ring on your left ring finger? It looks huge! I couldn’t get a good look at it to see if maybe it was simply a cocktail ring?
Laura in Arkansas says
I went to fineliving.com and on the upper left side of the page I was on, it has “what’s on tv” and underneath that it said program guide, shows a-z, then watch full episodes online – click on that and the next page will say “free episodes of your favorite shows online. anytime.” However the Whatever, Martha isn’t listed yet on the schedule so it may be Sept before that one shows up on the site at all. I just went back to the site to make sure I wasn’t seeing things but it has a place to watch the shows online – hope this helps.
la1 says
do you ever post negative comments? not a fan.. seems really really forced. love the radio show. wish that was filmed.. leave martha out of it..
Ariel from FL says
Looks very cute! Can’t wait for some cooking segments and maybe a few drinking segments… Also, FYI: Jennifer, your turkey segment on Martha! last fall is a classic! ARE YOU REALLY 5′ 2″????
Jennifer in ATL says
Oh my gosh…..TOTALLY LOVE IT!!!!
I love how honest you guys are. It’s just like the radio show.
Can’t wait to Tivo it!
h in boston says
That was funny! I feel the same way when I see the show with Martha. I can’t follow it. I did what Alexis did wing it. Did you see Teddy at the Convention last nite? Paul and the band were there doing a Howard Dean party. Says he looked great. Good luck on the show……
Arlene says
SO funny!!! What you did with the ribbons!!!!
Mica says
Congrats ladies, looks great so far. I will definitely tune in and spread the word.
xoxo
Kathy G says
Honestly, I wasn’t quite sure how this show would actually play out, but the clip was really entertaining. Think you got a winner here!
amyrabuf says
U guys looked great together. I’ll be watching.
lily says
i think the premise is good, but jen seems like an idiot. Like a grown woman trying to act like a little girl. why does she talk SO MUCH and SO LOUD. Alexis is better. I hope the show isn’t as loud and obnoxious as this clip.
Donna says
That was so funny. I am really looking forward to this show!
Paula says
Thanks for the great laugh. Jennifer you are so cute…… Can’t wait until the show comes on.
J in denver says
Alexis is really funny, seems like she is being herself. She is very relaxed. I think Jennifer is trying WAY too hard and she is not funny. Actually she comes across as stupid and VERY overweight.
SarahM says
Loved it! Finally, your own show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jamie in CA says
I love the part where Alexis says “two-fisted” and you can tell Jennifer has this look of shock on her face and it was quickly edited. Just reminds me of the radio show. SOOOO funny. Can’t wait to see the show on TV! Love you guys!
Gold medalRibbonDancer says
Jennifer your form and artistic impression was equaled by the saturated color of the ribbon you chose.
I did a quick internet search and as I suspected blue was an appropriate color as it is calming and— orange for your friend —well it symbolizes perseverance and she has that— bloody little roses what a waste of dancing ribbon
Bipolar Christy says
The show is hilarious! I’m all over it. “Help me Obi Won Kenobi…”.
to Laura in Arkansas said says
Thank you very much…don’t know how I missed that..fingers crossed we get to see the eipsodes online.
Oh Girls.... says
My how far you two have come. Jennifer I love how free your spirit is you bring joy and light hearted sentiment to the program, I thought you silky pillows comment to be worth a million giggles. And Alexis, expletives have never sounded or looked better, I love how you bring Martha down to level which the rest of us exist on by imitating her in that funny voice. Your both jewels and you have brought joy and happiness to my day.
All my love,
Cynthia
Tom says
Alexis is way overweight.
Lose a few!
Deanna S says
I can’t wait! It looks hilarious. I think you both look great and play off each other perfectly. I love when Alexis mocks her mom and thought Jennifer portrays the average person that tries to make Martha’s crafts. Most people would struggle like that on the first try and it helps people laugh at themselves to realize you don’t have to be perfect like Martha to have fun trying new things. Anyone that needs to call Jennifer fat must totally hate themselves.
amy says
Love you guys on the radio show but have to say honestly, I did not like the sneak preview. I did enjoy alexis, she was very natural but Jennifer was overacting a little. Alexis is naturally funny but Jennifer was trying too hard on the verge of being childish. I hate to post this but have to since I love you guys on the radio show. Although even on the radio show jennifer is a little overwhelming, somtimes disrespectful to the other two co-hosts.
Alesandra says
This will be a fun show…someone needs to replicate the folding of the fitted sheet and the stuffing of the duvet cover segments. I’m Jennifer’s height and let me tell you, it’s quite a feat dealing with a queen sized or king sized bed.
Canada Kathy to J in Denver... says
Why don’t you post a picture of yourself then we can all call you VERY overweight….and whatever else we may find wrong with you. My mother always told me “if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all”. Maybe you should take some of that advice.
lolli says
Woo Hoo this is way too funny! I can’t wait!! Love the original Martha shows and actually have the videos from the PBS series. Is Pauly going to be on???
pj says
have to agree that alexis is very natural and jennifer is trying too hard.
Sheila says
Ordered Fine Living. Alexis your hands are identical to your Mom’s. Jennifer you look great. Are all of the F words going to be cut from the show, I hope not that is what would make it funny. Good Luck, but you really don’t need it.
claire says
ditto on jennifer trying way too hard. It’s overwhelmingly obvious.
hopefully there’s more to the show than a starved-for-attention jennifer trying incredibly hard to be funny, than the clip depicted.
i want to like jennifer. she’s just….loud. Obnoxiously loud and annoying.
Lynette in Michigan says
I LOVE IT! Jennifer you are hilarious! What a great team!
la1 says
hey.. haters.. yes.. i left a negative message but LAY OFF OF ALEXIS’S WEIGHT.. she’s fucking thin and hott and cool. dont give her the complex that she most likely carries. check out her yoga blog photos and suck it.
Ken in RI says
The clip is great! And please, do not have Paulie on. Paulie in small doses goes a very long way.
But back to the clip, very funny. Alexis looks lovely as always. Jennifer looks lovely as well.
Jennifer, can you do the Safety Dance from Men Without Hats with a ribbon in a future show? That might be your signature move.
And I’m actually not correcting you this time!
b says
LOVE Alexis’ hair . . . the clip not so much – oh well!
no Paulie says
please dont have paulie on the TV show. he is best doing behind the show work on the radio. and the only reason he would go pick vegetables at Marthas is so he can say that he was at Marthas house. Paulie cant even get his ass out the basement on weekends to workout, why should he get to go to Marthas. yes i would be jealous if he gets to go with Alexis to Marthas. he just wants bragging rights.
Arlene says
WOW Jen some of these comments are awful. I’m with you I wouldn’t give them the (typing day). I feel sorry for people like this. You know where they will be going someday!!!!!
Beth says
Hilarious!! You both look great. Jen has gorgeous hair! Can’t wait for the show to air!!
Debbie in AZ says
Yep Jennifer = Rosie O
jamie says
I was so looking forward to this show. Now I’m just hoping that was a bad clip. Thought the show HAD potential but maybe you two aren’t the right ones to pull it off. Didn’t find it funny at all…just very annoying.
mk says
I love it! I can’t wait for it to come on…thank goodness I already get FLN. You girls are awesome!
Meg says
I am loving it! Laughed out loud at the clip you go it right on:)
Andrea says
If you listen to early radio shows from Jennifer and Alexis, you’ll notice that they have both become much more comfortable and natural than they were in the beginning. We don’t know how the producers of the tv show told them to behave. With time, I imagine it will flow more naturally and seem less forced or manic on Jennifer’s part. I’l looking forward to it.
cool says
This is so funny! where are they now?
Deb in NY says
Loved the clip! Hearing you guys talk about the show I was not very interested–but seeing the clip–I can’t wait now! Made me giggle. And thanks to Laura in Arkansas for (her posts that I always seem to agree with and) the info on how to see it online, I also do not get the FLN, will check back in Sept to see the shows.
Jainey Jane says
Alexis came across as considerably more friendly, but her outfit was far too chic; she looked like she was ready to go out, not watch TV and try to make crafts. You have some natural comedic talent, but you turned up the schtick and it came across as desperate. However, it may not be your fault; perhaps the format just doesn’t work. It was just a pilot, though, and maybe you’ll figure out what works by the end of the season.
Doug says
Why was my comment one of “the” comments you decided not to post yesterday? It was neither outrageously nasty nor even remotely rude…
valival says
That clip is so funny! Whoever thought of this is a genius.
HBE says
I have watched the clip several times. I think looking off camera is distracting– one is no longer in the moment as they say in acting school. and my sensibilities will be satisfied if the extra materials ie, unused ribbons were to be donated to a local school.
Isn’t it enough Alexis got the kid glove treatment from Hobart— well some kind of glove maybe it was actually boxing gloves Perks I’m talking perks here and corporate veils are the products used donated by companies for free advertising??? Like Martha and her Aga range love that video clafotii turkeys tatines wormholes all that food flying out of that oven
Andrea says
I think HBE said it best.
Mary in Maryland says
I love the show, Jennifer! Will it be available on-demand through the Fine Living Network?
Laura in Arkansas says
Well shit, now I want to know what Doug wrote – thank goodness I’m not a cat or it would have killed me.
Jennifer says
I cannot wait for the show!!!!!!! You two are the best!
SpiderWoman says
Does your web site employ an Internet Location Intelligence Platform? If so you can determine Where the posts come from. For example it may be curious to find that the most blunt posters are from, say, Ohio. Or nurturing posters live in Georgia.
Jeremy says
OMG…I so can’t wait for it to start!! I am going to set up my DVR. That was so effing hilarious! It made me laugh…I’ve been down in the dumps lately (had a jaw surgery and can’t eat anything that doesn’t go through the blender!) and I thought this was hilarious…really brightened up my day!
Jeremy
Joice says
i wish i got fineliving that lookss like the soup on E! but better!
Doug to Laura in Arkansas says
Don’t worry, curiosity did NOT kill the cat – Hazel Hutt did. ha!
KB says
Just watched the preview and OMG it is hilarious! I dont know how many you gals put “in the can” but there whatever the number it it is not enough!
Please god do some more..in fact do “seasons”…I will watch every single episode promise!

Mike says
There was a nice article today about Whatever Martha in the Dallas paper. I should say partially nice since they had this little blurb added in:
“Alexis does not have her mother’s formal manners, but there are all the signs of her mother’s superiority complex. Jennifer, Alexis’ friend since childhood, usually is on the receiving end of the putdowns.”
Obviously this writer doesn’t get it. Can’t wait to watch!
