Costas Will Sub for King on CNN

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Bob Costas, who currently splits his time between HBO and NBC, is adding the occasional CNN gig to his schedule as well.

The cable news channel says Costas will become a substitute host for "Larry King Live," its nightly interview show, when King is away. The multiple Emmy winner and former host of NBC's "Later" will likely sub for King about 20 times a year.

"We're thrilled to have one of televisions most outstanding broadcasters joining the CNN roster," says Jonathan Klein, president of CNN/U.S. "Bob's quick wit, nimble mind and broad range of interests will engage viewers in the best King tradition."

Bob Costas doing interviews. Hopefully he wont be stuck doing stuff on the latest celebrity trial, runaway bride, or whatever is the tabloid crap of the moment.

*Rant Alert*

By the way can anyone explain to why the hell anyone watches Nancy Grace? When I turn on CNN Headline news I want a quick hit of what is going on not her talking head on the Jackson trail, the Scott Peterson trial, or the Kobe Bryant trial or whatever the flavour of the day is. I want NEWS. The only news show I watch regularly now is Countdown with Keith Olbermann. The regular jabs at Fox News alone make him a fun watch. It's kind of scary when I have to listen to the BBC to get some decent news.

*Ranting ends*

Ok backing to looking for a job.
