Ricki has been quite vocal over the years about her desire to come back with a talk show, something she enjoyed much success with in the 90’s. And word around town is it just might happen in 2012! Hit the jump for details.
“Since then, things have progressed, with Twentieth, CBS and NBC all expressing interest in distributing such a show. Twentieth has even gone so far as to host at least one meeting between Lake and a potential broadcast client.
One factor that could be delaying a decision by NBC and CBS on Lake is whether or not Katie Couric is going to shop a talk show for 2012, with neither syndicator wanting to tie up resources before knowing what Couric’s decision will be and with whom she will sign. Couric’s contract with CBS News — currently worth $15 million annually — expires at the end of May.”
