Looks like Current TV will get another show added to the schedule, as frequent sub and Talking Liberally: The Stephanie Miller Show guest John Fugelsang will be the host.
TPM:
Current TV on Wednesday announced they’ve tapped comedian and TV personality John Fugelsang as the network’s newest primetime host. The show is still being developed and will premiere in the fall.
Fugelsang, as Current pointed out in its release, last made television waves as the man who got Mitt Romney campaign adviser Eric Fehrnstrom to admit to the campaign’s “Etch-a-Sketch” strategy on CNN.
Fugelsang’s show will likely be an hour, Bohrman said, hinting that it could be in a later time slot during primetime.
If it is later in the evening during the primetime, it would likely air at 10:00PM EDT/9:00PM CDT/7:00PM PDT, where currently a repeat of
The Young Turks with Cenk Uygur airs and up against MSNBC's
The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell.
Current TV's blog:
Over the past several months, we have grown more and more to love political comedian John Fugelsang as he's guest hosted on "The War Room," "Viewpoint" and "Talking Liberally." And today came news that Fugelsang will be joining developing a primetime show on Current TV to debut in the fall.
Also, on the Joy Behar front: her new show, titled Joy Behar: Say Anything, will debut on September 4th at 6PM EDT/5PM CDT/3PM PDT, right before TYT. It will air Monday-Thursday.
If your cable or satellite company doesn't have Current TV, call them, tweet them, or email them to request it to be added to your lineup. Do it politely.
