April 4, 201412 yr Member No - they just deleted the tweet AFAIK, but addressed it in a humorous way this week, after that everyone lost interest. It's been dismissed by now because the idiot in question is insane and has bombed every legit interview she's given, and nothing she says makes sense. Edited April 4, 201412 yr by Vee
April 4, 201412 yr Member How about Neil Patrick Harris? Just had a popular sitcom end and CBS audience is already familiar with him.
April 4, 201412 yr Member Not sure NPH would want the daily grind of a talk show. I think someone who has an edge, but not too much(or can fit into that) would fit. Handler would make an interesting fit. Amy Poehler might be pretty good, too.
April 4, 201412 yr Author Member This is crazy and would never happen, but I think Justin Timberlake would make an excellent host. He has always excelled on SNL and has shown with Jimmy Fallon to be very comfortable in the talk show format. Just as long as they don't ask Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest obviously would be comfortable as a talk show host and probably wants the job.
April 4, 201412 yr Member Based on how cold and unpleasant Seacrest has always been on American Idol I think he'd tank.
April 4, 201412 yr Member Very sad. I like Letterman. But, I'm ready for them to give it to this bitch. Ugh no
April 4, 201412 yr Member Exactly. Handler is an abrasive drunk that's often only funny in her own damn mind. Let her stay with her niche cable audience, she's not network ready (as evident by the flop NBC sitcom based on her life).

Let her stay with her niche cable audience, she's not network ready (as evident by the flop NBC sitcom based on her life). LOL 95% percent of NBC shows get cancelled, you can hardly blame that on her. She wasn't even on the show really, at least as the star. If anything, it was Laura Prepon who was the problem. She was terrible.
April 4, 201412 yr Member Based on how cold and unpleasant Seacrest has always been on American Idol I think he'd tank. He wouldn't even last as long as "Turn-On." And that show was cancelled while the first episode was still airing. Handler is an abrasive drunk that's often only funny in her own damn mind. Yep.
April 4, 201412 yr Member Craig F shouldn't even be a contender. Chelsea Handler or Aisha Tyler would be great choices.
April 4, 201412 yr Member I think the decline of her talk show and her blasting E! in public might make her too much of a stick of dynamite for CBS. I like Aisha Tyler a lot but I'm not sure if she could front her own show. She might be able to, I just think she has some rough spots. I wouldn't mind them going for someone completely unknown to the public. I think Amy Poehler would be a good choice too. She's a little mug-happy but she seems kind-hearted (which is appealing to a talk show audience, even in late night) and she has good comic timing. Edited April 4, 201412 yr by DRW50
April 4, 201412 yr Member So I was reading that Craig Ferguson's contract is up this year, so if he's a serious contender, we should know soon if he gets job, stays where he's at, or leaves CBS all together. I also read this and next year, the contracts for Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert, and Conan O'Brien are up, so if CBS wants to poach someone who currently has a late night gig, they'll have plenty of options of people that might be willing to jump.

I hunk her issues at E serve her well, not hurt her. I think she'd do a good job at doing what Dave dies, but also bringing a new dynamic and energy to it but not in a almost variety show way Fallon does. Tyler I think isn't name enough, sadly. She may be better suited for the late late show. But CBS also might like her on the talk where she I'd. My issue with pohler is exactly what you said, mug-happy. I can't.

I think she'd do a good job at doing what Dave dies, but also bringing a new dynamic and energy to it but not in a almost variety show way Fallon does. I was mostly thinking that CBS tends to be old school and values loyalty or not making a PR mess. Handler's comments about E! might make them wary of what she might say about them.
April 5, 201412 yr Member Very sad. I like Letterman. But, I'm ready for them to give it to this bitch. Not unless she spreads her legs for Les Moonves, too.
