Talking to Joely Fisher, one gets the sense almost immediately that she’s a woman who likes things to be fun, and who does what she can to ensure that they will be so, and to her liking. That’s the vibe of her conversation and, according to her, what she brought to her role as an overstressed talk show host in the Hallmark Channel original film “Cupid,” premiering Saturday.

“Ron Oliver, who directed it – and whom I had worked with before – we really got along great,” Fisher says. “He brought some fun to it; I brought some fun to it. I don’t think it’s going to be like your typical movie.”

Fisher’s character, Eve Lovett, is a successful talk show host with a full bank account, a full schedule and more stress than she knows what to do with. What’s really missing in her life is romance. But when one of her guests (Jamie Kennedy), who claims to be an author of books about love – but is really Cupid himself – appears on the show for a weeklong segment called “Eve’s Week of Love,” she’s in for an unexpected challenge that might be just what she needs to find love for herself. Roark Critchlow stars as Eve’s producer, Rick.

Playing Eve had Fisher thinking about her own future professionally. “It sort of felt very natural to me to be a talk show host, by the way. I feel like that’s in my future,” she says.

The talk show gig isn’t new to her by any means.

“I subbed for Rosie O’Donnell years ago when she was ill, and I took her place,” she says. “I’ve been a guest host on ‘The View.’ ... I just recently guest hosted ‘Access Hollywood Live’ – I played Billy Bush for a day. It’s sort of been out there in the ethos for years that I would be sort of good at it.”
