greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News - Homefront Preparations : One Thread

Cal unplugged Cal Thomas, the country's most widely syndicated op-ed columnist, was handed a terrific birthday present yesterday when Fox News Channel announced a new Saturday night television talk show, "After Hours," to be hosted by the outspoken commentator. "This is going to be a different kind of show," Mr. Thomas tells us, "each featuring a liberal and a conservative guest from among three venues: Hollywood, Broadway and Washington. It's going to be conversational, not confrontational. I want people to feel as if they are coming into the living room of my home." And talk about landing an influential inaugural guest, Mr. Thomas will welcome Vice President Richard B. Cheney when the show debuts Saturday at 11 p.m. His column appears in more than 540 newspapers. Mr. Thomas is also host of a daily radio program broadcast on more than 300 stations and the author of 10 books, including "The Wit and Wisdom of Cal Thomas." No word on how old Cal turned yesterday.
