In the wake of new talk show commitments for Katie Couric, Steve Harvey, Jeff Probst and others, Frankel’s distributor Telepictures (a division of Warner Bros.) could not land a commitment from a major U.S. station group for her proposed talk show, despite strong support from Ellen DeGeneres, as first reported by the New York Post.

Bethenny Ever After has completed production on a new season and will continue on Bravo.
