A tabloid talk show is a subgenre of the talk show genre which emphasizes controversial and sensationalistic topical subject matter.
 The subgenre achieved peak viewership during the late 20th century.
 Airing mostly during the day and distributed mostly through television syndication, tabloid talk shows originated in the 1960s and early 1970s with series hosted by Joe Pyne, Les Crane and Phil Donahue; the format was popularized by personal confession-filled "The Oprah Winfrey Show", which debuted nationally in 1986.
 Tabloid talk shows have sometimes been described as the "freak shows" of the late 20th century, since most of their guests were outside the mainstream.
 The host invites a group of guests to discuss an emotional or provocative topic – ranging from marital infidelity to more outlandish topics – and the guests are encouraged to make public confessions and resolve their problems with on-camera "group therapy".
 Similar shows are popular throughout Europe.

 Hosted originally by Linda Dano and Nancy Glass, it was taped before a live studio audience at EUE Screen Gems Studios, 222 East 44th Street in New York City.
 Glass was replaced by singer Dee Kelly following the show's second season, as Glass left to host the nationally syndicated primetime magazine show "This Evening".
 The show then moved to Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens.
 Dano's co-host later changed once more, with Jerry Penacoli, who is now host of "Extra".
 The show by this time had evolved into more of a tabloid talk format.
 Dano, uncomfortable with the changes, left the show.
 Penacoli was subsequently fired from the show.
 Both were replaced with Dorothy Lucey and Rolonda Watts as the new co-hosts.
 The show's audience, unable to accept the loss of Dano as well as disliking the change in format, quickly dropped off and "Attitudes" was canceled soon after.
