Leah Remini Talk Show
On August 14, 2008, The Hollywood Reporter stated that American actress Leah Remini was "developing a concept for a daytime show with CBS Television Distribution."1
Though show details remain "closely guarded," it is expected to stray from the traditional talk show format.1 Allison Waldman of TV Squad wrote that Remini was "really good at being off-the-cuff and funny," so it was worth giving Remini a shot at daytime television.2
The show is slated to debut in the fall of 2009. Valerie Bertinelli and Bishop T.D. Jakes are also in talks with CBS for future talk show projects.1
