News, and “news,” from CBS’s day at the Television Critics Association press tour in Los Angeles:
* Did you know that Les Moonves, president of CBS Corporation, is married to CBS personality Julie Chen? And did you know that, just coincidentally, Julie Chen happens to be the most talented person at the entire CBS network, and possibly in all of TV, and probably the world? It’s true! That is the reason that CBS had little choice but to hire Chen to host Big Brother in addition to The Early Show. Because she’s Julie Chen! She’s available, you snap her up! It’s a no-brainer! And it’s the entirely coincidental reason she’s now going to be hosting—along with Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne and sundry others—a third show for CBS, the daytime women-talking roundtable The Talk, which is totally not a copy of The View, so shut up, because you are jealous.
