Is Anderson Cooper heading to daytime television?
The Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed blog reports that the CNN anchor "is close to a deal" for a syndicated talk show.
Cooper, who often fills in for Regis Philbin on Live with Regis and Kelly is said to be in talks with Telepictures Productions and Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution for a program targeted to launch in fall 2011.
The show is billed as a topical format that will cover everything from celebrities and pop culture to social issues, but would also show off Cooper's skill with news stories. No comment from Cooper at this point.
UPDATE: It's official. CNN's silver fox is branching out to daytime TV. The show will cover "social trends, entertainment and human interest topics" in an attempt to fill the void Oprah Winfrey will leave after her final season next year.
