 | | IN HER FRANTIC New York talk-show-host mode, Ricki Lake is getting ready to tape two shows back-to-back at the Ricki Lake studio on East 37th Street in Manhattan. |
 | | On the eighth floor, the audience for the Ricki Lake show is waiting for the woman who will guide them through an hour that virtue scribe William Bennett and his conservative pals have labeled, along with other talk shows, as cheap, demeaning, exploitative, perverted, divisive, and immoral. |
 | | Supervising producer Stuart Krasnow runs onto the stage and reminds the crowd that it's supposed to be ''the loudest audience in television history!'' Lake's fans roar on cue as she bounces in wearing pancake makeup, red lipstick, a white turtleneck, a brown jacket, leggings, and clogs. |
