The Yvonne Orji Show

The Yvonne Orji Show, also known as Yvonne, is an American daytime talk show scheduled to premiere on September 6, 2022 in first-run syndication. The series will be hosted by actress Yvonne Orji.
==History==
Iris Communications executive Anton Richardson first contacted Orji in November 2021 after seeing her guest host The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He had been pressed by Iris to create a new daytime program for Iris's stations as a replacement for Ellen, which ended on May 26, 2022. Orji agreed to do the show, and a pilot was filmed in early January 2022.
The pilot was liked by Iris, and they announced on January 24, 2022 that the show would officially premiere the following television season. Wanda MacDonald, VP of sales for Iris Communications, joined the show as a developer and president of affiliate relations. 
In March 2022, the Sinclair Broadcast Group announced that it planned to carry Yvonne on its stations as a replacement for Ellen. Several Iris stations released their fall schedules in April 2022, revealing that stations which did not air Ellen are still airing the show. Other groups such as Dorado Media and Gray Television also plan to carry the program on some of their stations.
==Production==
The show is produced by Brays Mill Productions (Anton Richardson's production company, which produced the 2020 Iris news special COVID in America: From the Start) and Iris Communications, the latter of which also distributes the show. Richardson is the executive producer of the show, while John Watson is the head writer and Donald Leary is the director.
The program's test pilot was shot in WOLF's studios, specifically the set used for their daily lifestyle program College Park Live. In May 2022, the show's permanent set was built and installed in the Chelsea Studios in New York City, which also houses talk show Rachael Ray.
