It appears as if the ax has dropped on another freshman syndicated show. Talker The Larry Elder Show isn't returning for a second season, sources said. The strip from Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution launched in September but has failed to gain traction with viewers. Season to date, Larry Elder is averaging a 0.9 household rating. WBDTD declined comment Monday. The distributor has another talker set to launch in syndication in the fall: the Tyra Banks-hosted strip The Tyra Banks Show. Along with Larry Elder, other rookie syndicated shows not returning for a second season include NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution's talker The Jane Pauley Show along with Sony Pictures Television's talk show Life & Style and reality/talk series Pat Croce: Moving In.

The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday gave syndicated daytime shows a boost during the week ending Jan. 23. With many viewers enjoying a day off from work or school Jan. 17, HUT (households using television) levels were up by an average of 2 million for the week. Those shows benefiting from the holiday included several rookies, according to data from Nielsen Media Research. Talker The Jane Pauley Show was up 6% week-to-week to average a series-high 1.8 household rating, while fellow talk show The Tony Danza Show jumped 25% to a 1.5, tying its season-best performance. Another freshman strip, surprise-makeover show Ambush Makeover, spiked 30% to a 1.3, also tying its season-best rating. Talker The Larry Elder Show jumped 10% to a 1.1.
