Clinton As A TV Talk Show Host?

(CNSNews.com) - It's been mentioned before, and now it's making headlines:

The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that former President Bill Clinton has met twice with NBC executives to discuss the possibility that he might host his own TV talk show. According to the newspaper, the discussions are preliminary, but Clinton is said to be seriously interested. He reportedly wants to be paid $50 million a year to become "the next Oprah Winfrey," according to the newspaper. Neither NBC nor Clinton are commenting publicly. Stay tuned...

NBC = Barnum was right, there is a sucker born every minute.

[DeweyCA]

Can you imagine the Freeping opportunities for those in hte studio audience? Of course they would have bigtime security (Secret Service) for that, but there should still be opportunities. Like what the Lefties did to Rush Limbaugh when he guest-hosted the Pat Sajak show several years ago. And yes, people, especially the guests, would get tired of him always dominating the conversations. That self-absorbed blow-hard!!

Come to think of it, "blow-hard" really is an appropriate description of Clinton.

[Redbob]

Well, for starters, a show has to have sponsors: Who do you think will sponsor Slick Willie?

After the first million letters, that is?

[CedarDave]

If he signs with NBC, does that mean that Leno can't use Clinton as a foil for his nightly monologue?? I watched and laughed out loud during Tuesday night's 10th anniversary show when Leno said Clinton was responsible for his (Leno's) success. Clinton provided Jay with a constant new source of comic material with his antics, especially after the "I did not have sex with that woman" episode.

[Revolting cat!]

Here's how the cat reads it. Scumbag is greedy for money and constant attention. His current gig doesn't provide either, the adoring staff is too small and consists of unimportant folks (what, a couple of English and PolSci graduates?) and to earn the bucks he has to travel constantly. Bummer.

A TV show gig will not only get Clintbilly a studio audience of trained monkeys responding to the flashing applause sign, but more importantly, a big staff of top Hollyweird talent that he can order around and verbally abuse, from producers and directors on down to hairdressers. Heck, he'll then be the President of a television show, a job very similar in nature to the one he recently held.

NBC
Hell I bet BET will up the ante

[OldFriend]

LOLOLOLROTF.......gonna be on the Comedy Channel!!!

[1234]

[OldFriend]

You know Her Heinous will never ever ever allow this to happen.

[KLT]

Just imagine all the settlements NBC will have to pay out for the sexual harassment cases

Oh and then there is the fact he is late for EVERYTHING .. those Union Crews cost money

NBC may just go broke over this deal

Bill Clinton should hide his head in shame for what he's done to this country....I would hope NBC, CBS or whatever misguided TV station is considering this outrage, would understand what a freakin nutbag they're dealing with!

[Almondjoy]

HAHA well we all know Clinton will do anything for money. I think Clinton is ticked off he isn't the richest man in the world and wants nothing more than to have that. In any case I heard this morning that Clinton was in talks to take Bryant Gumble's place on morning talk(I think he was the latest one to leave right?). Can you imagine Clinton saying on morning talk "And now onto weather where it seems perfect weather over my property in NY will yield great pot growth this year."

[KLT]

Thanks for the reminder 1234, we all forget the crap we had to deal with for 8 looooonnnngggg years!

[iceskater]

NBC may just go broke over this deal

Hey, that would be Katie and Matt would be on the unemployment lines, too. Well, there is a silver lining after all!

Once again, I think the cat has it right again...excellent read on things, my friend...

[iceskater]

"would be" = "would mean"

Sigh. I guess I got a little too happy at the thought of these morons being off the air....

[Diddle E. Squat]

Wouldn't such a show bring campaign finance problems for NBC and Hillary? Seems it would be walking a thin line in regards to the fairness doctrine/equal time, and could be viewed by the FEC as a donation to the Hillary campaign.

And who's to say that the other networks that lose out might not fan the flames of controversy examining these accusations(one good thing to remember about liberals, pettiness and jealousy can often trump their principles, already maleable.)

[texasbluebell]

It's a long way from Arkansas to Hollywierd.

[tracer]

I just heard a network exec announce that The Slick Willie Show's primary sponsors will be the Hoover Company, the vacuum cleaner giant, and Chiquita Brands International.

He said something about the power of "subliminal suggestion," or something to that effect....

You mean the property he just about stole, we still don't know who paid for his digs...bet McAulliffe secretly channeled that money in...what do you think?

BTW, I'm a NYer and I'm not proud to admit it...God Help Us!

Morning, KLT ... My answer to your question ... we have to PRAY these people away, and believe me, I'm doing my part. This evil is of such magnitude, but, take heart ... "greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." 1 John 4:4

Interesting ... this discussion on the National Day of Prayer.
