New CNN Show Parker Spitzer To Debut October 4

video
» 23 comments

CNN has picked a name and premiere date for their new 8pmET show hosted by Kathleen Parker and Eliot Spitzer.

Are you sitting down? It’s called Parker Spitzer and it premieres Monday October 4. There’s a video involved also.

How to describe this video announcement (posted first on CNN.com). Well. Spitzer jokes the show should be called “Spitzer Parker.” Then Parker jokes it could be called “The Spitzer Factor.” There are tax policy and nuclear proliferation jokes.

It’s sort of like a dinner party that is winding down. Also I don’t really know how to write the title of the show. It looks like Parker | Spitzer a little.

Enjoy!

    What the hell is CNN doing?This has cancel written all over it.Boring is going to be the only nice thing said about this piece of crap.I have seen them both and it promises to be a snooze fest.

  • shootfromthehip

    If CNN was smart they’d hire that hot whore Spitzer banged to host the show with him. Now that I’d watch!

    That said, Spitzer is actually really smart and quick on his feet on TV.

    I bet he wear his black socks if she were on with him.

    “Parker Spitzer” almost sounds like the name of a bad Fetish porn.

    Maybe CNN is hoping the confusion nets them extra viewers?

    Hip, the skanks name is Ashley Dupre, yeah I agree that would be a ratings Blockbuster but CNN isn’t looking for a sucess these days.

    Spitzer? I don’t know for this reason. He did a stint on MSNBC as a guest and he even filled in guest hosting a few shows but MSNBC didn’t make a play and the 10PM slot was still open at the time.

    8PM dinner party that is winding down.? Well if you want to go swiming in the Shark Tank with O’Reilly, Grace & Olbermann wearing a dinner jacket and clutching a bottle of ‘Pepperwood Grove Chardonnay’ be my guest.

    Don’t have a clue who Kathleen Parker is. CNN missed the boat again, I would have brought back ‘Crossfire’ with some hard left and hard right people. People want ‘Rare Red Meat’ at 8PM, not ‘Wild Iranian Ossetra Caviar’.

    They could name this show ” Keep on Clicking ” to be accurate . Or ” Client # 9 and Escort ” .

  • fill32162

    Shows called Do Me – Do Them – Do em All > why couldn’t they get his Eliot’s wife and Ashley Dupre or maybe Tiger’s ex Elan > now that would get ratings.

  • timzank

    Named it Parker Spitzer? Was “Trainwreck” already taken?

    If Parker had a brain she would never be on any show with Spitzer. She has a reputation as a RHINO. She will lose any credibility she has left and that is almost none.

  • TfT

    How quaint. Just another “conservative” who is a poser, chatting with a disgraced democrat governor. I’m guessing fail.

  • Arkansas Steve

    Realizing this is the lowest of low hurdles to clear, I predict

    ta da: Within a month, this will be CNN’s highest rated show during prime time hours.

    Their other stuff is THAT BAD!!

  • JimBob

    ParkerSpitzer !! PARKERSPITZER ! Are you kidding me.?. A NEW show on
    CNN during the 8PM Hour to replace an Old Dinasour Show that has been
    on forever, currently with zero viewers. You want viewers right up front?
    Guarenteed!! Then all you have to do is continue with a Program format that will
    keep them. NEW Title…. ”PRIME TIME WITH CLIENT NUMBER NINE”

    CNN, there is still plenty of time to get some new promos done and blanket
    the marketplace with them!! Come on.. If not, it is going to be a race as to which
    show will be cancelled first. ParkerSpitzer or MSNBC’s Last Word with Lawrence
    O’Donnell.

    I will give you that one ! You can thank me later…

  • dhg

    Spitz in the Park would have been a better choice.

    Ok that was a promotion fail if ever I’ve seen one. What is the premise of their show supposed to be anyway? Saved by the Bell mixed with milk toast and weak sauce?

    They should just cancel it right out of the box and try to come up with something else.

  • JimBob

    I must admit dhg

    Spitz in the Park is damn good!

    I had to think about that one a moment

    But, ParkerSpitzer ??? Good Lord !

  • raphael-a

    I remember that one from the 90′s: Parker Spitzer Can’t Lose.

    Wow, they are really working hard to draw in the viewers. I didn’t know anyone could go lower than last, but CNN is trying real hard.
    When I first heard about it, I thought it MUST be a different Spitzer.

    Does CNN really think this show will improve their ratings? How out of touch can you get? They might as well hire Pee Wee Herman or John Edwards and put them in front of a camera.

  • Rescuedog

    It’s a vaguely icky name.

  • JimBob

    Felix, PeeWee Herman already has his own show. He is on MSNBC at 9:00PM
    EST!
    Speaking of MSNBC Mr. Ed the Talking Horses ASS is getting closer each
    night to having his great big fat head explode and all the Fox Hosts
    camping in there come Marching out laughing their asses off!

    Should have named it “Client #9″ or whatever Eliot’s jersey number was in the stud stalls. Good to see Eliot matched with an honest to badness whore like Parker who matched Huffington by overnite switching from conservative to libturd when she got hired by the WaPo. Excitable Andrew went even farther over the fire-and-brimstone cliff when he ratted himself into a gender-switching Palin-obsessed perv/perp/prog. Crist did it too, must be something in the water down here in the Sunshine State! Parker flipped out leftward from the Orlando Sentinel to the Bolshie rag on the Potomac.

    As an add-on, so far Douthat has resisted the Brooks “corrective movement” to the sinister side of the spectrum, but that’s an exception to the rule for the genus bonehead, AKA blogger/journalista…!
