Ricki Lake Talk Show Returns Fall 2012

For five years, beginning in 1993, Ricki Lake ruled the airwaves with her daytime talker that had us gagging every single day. For the past few years, there have been mumblings of the 42-year-old's possible return to TV and this morning the folks over at Broadcasting & Cable have confirmed that Ricki Lake will indeed return for the fall of 2012 with a new show that will go beyond topics like "You're Gay Stay Out of My Life". Instead, the new show will include such topics as family, marriage, parenting and divorce, as well as subjects close to Ricki's heart, like weight-loss, health and nutrition. In a statement, Ricki said, "It has been very fulfilling for the past seven years to focus my energy on advocacy work on behalf families and children. Now, I am excited to return to my roots and work with Twentieth Television to develop a talk show that will give me an opportunity to share my experiences and reconnect with audiences." Go Ricki! Go Ricki! Go Ricki!

Here's a trip down memory lane....
