On the heels of a headline-making split with talk show host Keith Olbermann, San Francisco-based Current TV has hired on a new talk show host — one well-known to progressives — California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Newsom, the Democratic former mayor of San Francisco, will star in a weekly show for San Francisco-based Current TV called “The Gavin Newsom Show” beginning in May, the network announced Wednesday.
According to the release from Current: “The hour-long talk show will have a decidedly California touch as Newsom interviews notables from Silicon Valley, Hollywood and beyond.”
“The Gavin Newsom Show” will be executive produced by Mia Haugen a former executive at The Street, Forbes and CNN.

Another camera hog.
he could teach Barry a thing or two.
ANY YWOSOME/ ANY THREESOME Newsome is a complete ass.
