Bubba Clinton wants a talk show!
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la...2clinton.story
This would rock. I'd check it out for sure. What is there that Bill couldn't talk about? |
He could have a secret service agent for his band leader!

Like him or not, the amount of knowledge and experience required to be President is almost impossible to comprehend. I'd love to see a show with any ex-President (no, not "those" <I>Ex-Presidents</I>), but particularly Clinton, as he seems more candid than others may have been.

Although the talks are only preliminary, one source said Clinton's interest was serious and said he was demanding a fee of $50 million a year and had aspirations "of becoming the next Oprah Winfrey." |
CNN Report: Clinton in talks with NBC for his own daytime talk show
http://robots.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/N...how/index.html
NEW YORK -- Bill Clinton has talked with NBC executives about becoming the host of his own daytime TV talk show. The meeting took place Wednesday in Los Angeles, according to a television industry source who spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday. A Clinton spokeswoman, Julia Payne, confirmed that Clinton met with the executives Wednesday. "Yesterday's informal meeting was one of many meetings President Clinton has had with many people over the past year," Payne said in a written statement sent to CNN. She went on to say, "President Clinton did not demand a talk show. He went to listen." NBC had no comment on the meeting. The Los Angeles Times, which first reported the discussions, quoted a source as saying Clinton was asking for a fee of $50 million a year. It cited unidentified industry sources as saying he was not seeking a political talk show because of potential conflicts of interest with his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. It would remain to be seen whether he would dive into more traditional daytime fare like celebrity interviews, "boot camps" for troubled teens or beauty makeovers. Oprah Winfrey, the current queen of daytime talk, recently signed a contract extension but said she would quit her show in 2006. The show reportedly generates $300 million in revenue each year, and she's paid more than $125 million a year to be host. Daytime talk show ratings are generally down this year and two prominent hosts, Rosie O'Donnell and Sally Jessy Rafael, are ending their shows. Winfrey and, to a lesser extent, O'Donnell, have parlayed their talk show careers into multimedia empires, including their own magazines. There was a broadcast report last week that CBS or Clinton had expressed interest in the soon-to-be-vacant job of host of that network's morning news show, "The Early Show." "There is not one ounce of truth to that," said CBS spokeswoman Sandra Genelius. |

dude he's gonna be like Jenny Jones
"Fat or Beautiful?" can't you see bubba panting all over the women? or I guess he could be one of those celebrity interviewers but that'd be lame. I think his expertise woudl be politics. i dont really see too much of a conflict of interest. Also, he better be really good to keep an audience that will justify $50 million |
jerry springer part 2 starring hillary, monica, linda, keneth, and lots more.
|
He'll be called the host, but you know sHillary will be the one that will run the show.
|
Fine. It wasn't there when I looked. *pouts*
|
dupe or not, this could be very tacky. I hope he doesn't do this.
|
This would be the Secret Service's worst nightmare.
How the hell can they protect an ex-president in that type of environment? |
Oprah gets 125 million a YEAR??? :jawdrop:

Stupid Intern Tricks......

Just what we need, a criminal hosting his own show.
I wonder how many other criminals get offers like this ? I hated him as president and even more as a person. Why can't he just fade away and live off the millions he got for his book and illegal gifts ? |
I have a sound recording I call the Clinton Theme he's welcome to use. :)

Right on, Struz! This person - I can't bring myself to call him a man - is and always has been a lowlife concerned with only one thing - himself.

At least he can speak in complete sentences...
|
this would be very interesting esecially considering the kind of big-name guests he could get
