Al Sharpton to Get Fox TV Show?

Presidential candidate Al Sharpton may get his own Fox Tv Show, according to the New York Times.

Jim Rutenberg of the Times writes:

"Mr. Sharpton, who retained the William Morris talent agency two weeks ago, said he wanted to be the host of his own cable news and radio programs, and his talent representatives said they were pursuing talks with all conceivable outlets.

"But, perhaps unsurprisingly for a man who is running for president, Mr. Sharpton's media ambitions do not stop there. He has already had an informal discussion with Fox Television Studios about a possible reality television show, officials there said on Friday. And he recently met with Sid Ganis, the Hollywood producer who included Mr. Sharpton in the 2002 remake of 'Mr. Deeds,' to discuss future roles.

"'For months they were saying to me from various parts of the media world that they wanted me to do a syndicated radio show, a syndicated TV show, and now these guys with a reality show,' Mr. Sharpton said. 'I said I wanted to wait for the end of the campaign. Now that we're halfway through, I told William Morris to go and complete some deals.'''

The William Morris Agency? What the fuck? Aint that a bitch: Sharpton goes Hollywood, huh. Tucker Carlson broke the scoop yesterday on the Chris Matthews Show that the Reverend had had a meeting with Roger Ailes at Fox. So, I guess his appearance at the Presidential debates was all a big audition. His purpose within the Democratic Party, as a jester and a Shakespearean fool, is over and the Rev is going big time. Who knew?
