For some odd reason, NBC has decided to give Bonnie Hunt an hour a day to corrupt the dwindling talk show viewing audience.

Being Jumanji fans, we believe she has what it takes to last at least a few episodes, but what do the experts think?

To find out, we dispatched Intern Whitney to consult body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass (author of "I Know What You Are Thinking") in order to learn about the intangibles and discover what exactly it is about hosting an afternoon gabfest that separates the richest woman in Forbes magazine from the still-unemployed Will & Grace castoffs

To begin, Dr. Glass examined some photos of Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey, two women who have been extremely dominant in the daytime talk show field.

"Ellen has a very masculine stance as seen in this photo with [her] legs apart and large gestures," Glass said. "Her hands, facial expression, walk and general posture say confidence. People want a confident take-charge host, and she is definitely one." Glass, however, forgot to mention the real secret to Ellen's success, which we attribute to the dancing. Particularly the coveted "Look, I'm spontaneously dry-humping the coffee table again" move. Classic!

"Oprah's head up and wide gestures also reflect her extreme self-confidence," Glass said. "She is not afraid to speak her mind and, like Ellen, is comfortable with who she is and it shows as she is able to give of herself to others." Yep, you can't buy confidence like that. Either that or you can, and it costs $260 million.

But how should Bonnie avoid alienating and pushing away her audience? We had Glass take a look at a few photos of two of our favorite former talk show hosts—and current Trivial Pursuit fodder—Megan Mullally and Jane Pauley.

"Megan looks away," Glass said. "She is tense and uncomfortable and seems uptight. … That does not endear a host to the public. They tend to not trust her and respect what she has to say, because they don't feel her confidence and conviction. As a comedian in a scripted situation … the focus has always been on her and not the audience." In other words, Mullally has trouble reaching her audience. Interesting! But, truthfully, we'd kind of already gathered as much from the ratings.

"In Barbara [Walters'] presence, Jane is most uncomfortable, as her legs are crossed, her hands are clasped, and she is clearly looking timid and intimidated," Glass said. "A good host must never look down and must always connect with the audience at all times." On the other hand, it's Barbara Walters. That old coot and her antagonizing lispy voice could make a grown man cry.

Leaving the moderately successful Rachael Ray aside (primarily because she annoys us) it's time for the grand finale: Dr. Glass' predictions about The Bonnie Hunt Show.

"Bonnie is very tense and uptight facially. Her neck tension [is] not good. She doesn't seem comfortable in her own skin. While the audience may enjoy her humor, that is not enough. They want someone who feels comfortable in her own skin and who is very secure. If she continues that body language," Dr. Glass explains, "her show will be short lived. No one likes to watch someone that makes them feel uncomfortable."

Valid point, but if that's the case, can someone please tell us why The Tyra Banks Show is still on the air?
