The reviews were terrible and the ratings are more of the same: Media Decoder reports, "The political discussion program, featuring the hosts Kathleen Parker, the conservative columnist, and Eliot Spitzer, the one-time governor of New York, fizzled badly in its initial outing Monday, attracting only 454,000 total viewers." more ›

Perhaps realizing that his chance at being Governor hasn't worked out quite as he wanted, Governor Paterson says he is ready to switch careers to CNN talk show host if—Spitzer messes up. He joked with Don Imus this morning, “If anything goes wrong, they know I have to take his place." But when Imus suggested he'd be great for the job, he said he believes he "hasn't done enough" to warrant his own talk show. The public at least needs to know your socks-during-sex stance before you're allowed a regular spot on national television. more ›

Last night, Larry King announced he was leaving his talk show on CNN, Larry King Live. In a segment on his program, he explained he would still host CNN specials and be hosting the show until a replacement was found: "Before I start the show tonight, I want to share some personal news with you. 25 years ago, I sat across this table from New York Governor Mario Cuomo for the first broadcast of Larry King Live...." more ›

Oprah Winfrey, the media mogul-juggernaut, is going to end her successful daytime talk show when her 25th season ends on September 9, 2011. She will be making the announcement on her program today. As for her future, the NY Times says she's expected to "concentrate on the forthcoming cable channel that will bear her name... The move represents an enormous bet — that her popularity and golden touch with programming can sustain an entire cable channel and that she’ll remain a central cultural figure even without the mass exposure of broadcast television every day." more ›

Last night, David Letterman apologized to his wife and Late Show staffers for spilling the beans on having sex with staffers. Last week, Letterman disclosed details about a $2 million extortion attempt—the suspect was threatening to reveal details about these affairs—probably because details would be sought after the Manhattan DA's office announced charges anyway. He said, "It did not occur to me last week when I was discussing having had sex with women who worked on this show, that then what would happen is reporters and newspaper people and radio and TV would start hounding the staff and saying, ‘What do you say, are you, and this and that.’" more ›

Last night, David Letterman apologized to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for his questionable jokes about one of her daughters. He had initially apologized last week, but Palin still considered the remarks—which suggested that A-Rod might impregnate her daughter and that they should keep Eliot Spitzer away during the Palins' trip to NY—offensive and demanded that he "apologize to young women across the country [for contributing to a culture] that says it’s OK to talk about statutory rape...It's not cool; it's not funny." more ›
