Client number 9 to get program on cable news network number 4

eliot spitzer cnn

In another sign of the impending apocalypse, hooker-hiring former New York Governor Eliot “John” Spitzer is rumored to be this close to landing a regular gig on CNN.

The New York Post reports the tawdry details:

Hooker-loving Spitzer is this close to a deal to co-host an 8 p.m. talk show, sources said.

….A source said, “CNN is so desperate, they’re totally abandoning Turner’s original vision of impartial reporting. With talent like Spitzer on board, the people hosting the news will be more controversial than any guests they could book.”

The Post’s Michael Shain reports Spitzer has “all but a done deal” to get a co-host spot at 8 p.m., previously occupied by Campbell Brown, whose ratings had plunged. Spitzer will become half of a talking-head duo on a show fashioned after “Crossfire,” which CNN canceled in 2005. CNN is searching for a conservative partner for Spitzer, who’ll go head-to-head with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly in the time slot, before announcing the new show.

Going head to head with O’Reilly? In that case, we expect Ashley Alexandra Dupre to be brought in as a special consultant in charge of head.

  • So, pray tell, what is the working title for the much-anticipated show? The Love Guv? I think an appropriate introductory theme song would be to the tune of "Love Potion Number Nine" with a few adjustments.....

    I took my troubles down to Madame Dupre,
    You know that call girl at the Emperors Club VIP
    She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
    Sellin' lots of love to...Client Number Nine

  • Ted Turner is a former friend of mine. I KNOW Ted Turner. He has NEVER had an "impartial" chromosome in his body. He has ALWAYS believed that the Pope is a Jew who lives in the Whiter House and rules the Chinese Race.

  • " A source said, “CNN is so desperate, they’re totally abandoning Turner’s original vision of impartial reporting." What the F##k?

  • You know any "conservative" they bring in won't be an actual conservative. If they brought in an actual conservative CNN's 8pm rating would go through the roof, Spitzer would look like a fool every night (and he would need to get the boot in about 3 days), and MSNBC would be number 4. My prediction of the "conservative" they get: Meghan McCain, a progressive republican. (10:1 says she would bang Spitzer in the first 6 months) So basically, to state the obvious, no one will continue to watch CNN.

    Now that was a low blow ! :-O
