RE: The Bill Clinton Show (was WTKK TV Ad)

[dan.Strassberg@att.net]

After Clinton leaves office, he'd make a _great_ talk-
show host IF he could find a call screener able to limit 
the Monica calls to no more than, say, 20% of the 
program, and if the role of talk-show host could keep 
his attention longer than, say, half-way through the 
first hour of the first show. I suppose that if some 
network were to offer him, say, $15 million for a year, 
Clinton might actually go for it as a fast and easy way 
to pay off his legal bills.

He really has what a good talk host needs--he's well-
informed, bright and articulate and he thinks very 
quickly on his feet. He also has lots of charisma and he 
relates well to people (feels their pain--as it were). 
If he could keep from appearing obviously bored, I'll 
bet he could get higher ratings than Limbaugh's--at 
least for one book.
