Queen of All Media Gets TV Deal


Question: What happens when this woman gets excited?
Answer: Robin Quivers.

It's about time. Dan Klores must have been working overtime on this one and the stars were correctly aligned, but it worked. Just about everyone got at least a development deal out of the Howard Stern Show but Robin. Stuttering John got to announce for Leno, Artie got a development deal, Jim Florentine got Crank Yankers, Richard Belzer got on Law and Order after an exec heard him on the show, Jimmy Kimmel got his late night program based, in part, on appearances on the show.

Now it's Robin's turn. According to the AP:

"Robin Quivers, shock jock Howard Stern's longtime sidekick, is making a solo move toward television.

"Quivers has signed a deal with Sony Pictures Television to develop a syndicated talk show for daytime TV, the company announced Monday.

"The potential series could debut by fall 2005. Quivers will continue her work on Stern's radio show while developing her TV show, Sony said.

"There was no indication whether she planned to remain with Stern if her show gets a green light. A call to her manager in New York was not immediately returned Monday."

Watch out Oprah, there's new girl in town, with a brand new style ...

I find her interesting and cannot wait to see how she does, in her own right, away from Howard, crating something of her own
