Pidgin Talk Show

[DaveNSoKona]

Why not a local TV talk show where they speak Pidgin. Has it been done?

(I tried to do a search but "Pidgin" is mentioned too many times)

I like that there's a lot of Hawaiian language programming coming out. There's no shortage of pidgin, either, with all the skit comedy shows. A talk show? That'd be interesting. Wonder how the guest selection process would work, though. "You talk li'dat? You shua? C'mon, cuz, make A!"

It'd be neat to get locals who can speak pidgin but rarely do to just let loose. Of course, locals like me would never get on, 'cause I might be born and raised but I still sound like a katonk.

I suppose the guests on the show would range from entertainers plugging their next gig, politicans trying to get support on their next project, pet owners showing off their pet's latest trick, local authors detailing their new best seller.

I don't know what sort of theme or format the show would follow, like a late night talk show like The Tonight Show or something like The View.

Well, so do I. But, then, I'm a Punahou grad who went to college on the mainland, so by definition, I can't possibly be a local.
