-- I'm a father, a passionate animal lover, and host of "Talking Animals," a radio program about animals I launched in 2003 on KUCI in Irvine, CA and now airs on WMNF, an NPR station in Tampa, FL. So, here are some defining Ringling Bros. traits that, even allowing for the often-altered reality of reality show, may lend this new TNT series an undercurrent of darkness.
John Henson (the former host of "Talk Soup" on E!) is host.
The host of "Talk Stoop," Cat Greenleaf, will also serve as the host of the USA programming block, which offers viewers reruns of series like "CSI," "Law & Order" and "NCIS".
Ms. Greenleaf will also continue as the host of "Talk Stoop," which appears on properties that include WNBC-TV in New York and iVillage.com, which, like USA, are part of the NBCUniversal division of Comcast.
Pittsburgh steps in to approximate blue-collar Manchester, and Hal Sparks, who was once the host of "Talk Soup," stars as Michael, who is secretly in love with his childhood friend, a drug-addled advertising executive.
It helped offset his snarky musings as host of "Talk Soup" in the early 1990s, and it has chaperoned a steady movie career as the everyman in films such as "Little Miss Sunshine" and "As Good as It Gets".
"Congressman Kucinich is holding up a pie chart, which is not truly effective on the radio," said Neal Conan, the host of "Talk of the Nation" and the moderator of the debate.
He then became a political lobbyist, but in 1982 found his métier as the host of talk and interview shows on various stations from Orlando, Fla., to Sacramento, Calif., to Chicago.
France offered Tuesday to be the host of talks between government and opposition representatives in Paris, but there was no immediate reaction from either Mr. Aristide or the opposition.
Sam Fragoso is the host of Talk Easy, and writing has appeared in Vanity Fair, NPR, New Republic.
Sam Fragoso is the host of Talk Easy, a weekly podcast of conversations with filmmakers, writers, musicians, journalists, and, once, his mother.
