co-host

For the longest time we didn't see Jerry Seinfeld on TV at all but now he seems to be everywhere. Not only is he on NBC's 'The Marriage Ref' (which he also produces), he's now going to pinch hit for Regis Philbin on tomorrow's edition of 'Live with Regis & Kelly' (or as Tom Hanks called it the other day, 'Live with Regis & Kathie Lee'). Of course, it's like Seinfeld never left TV because his sitcom is on various channels six times a day.

This will be Seinfeld's first go at co-hosting the show. On a side note, is Regis OK? He seems to be taking several days off since his hip surgery. Hopefully this week is just a planned, ordinary vacation week and not something more serious. But this has been a good week for co-hosts, with Andy Richter yesterday and now Seinfeld.

Apparently, Jennifer Aniston has been hanging out with Chelsea Handler a lot. She's so impressed with Chelsea Lately and the format of her show, that she's found a reason to come back to the small screen. Aniston mentioned it to Oprah Winfrey, who took the idea and ran with it.

See, Oprah is launching The Oprah Winfrey Network in 2010. Now, suddenly, she could have a very high-profile project to help promote the new channel: a weekly talk show fronted by both Winfrey and Aniston. I've always found Aniston to be very friendly, funny and personable, so this could work out very well.

It's an interesting pairing, Oprah and Jen. I'm curious to see if the new venture will be formatted like a traditional late-night talk show, or more like the daytime staple Winfrey has mastered. I have a feeling Oprah will want to differentiate the two a bit more. Perhaps with Aniston's influence, there'll be a much more playful and comedic atmosphere. What do you think? Nothing's been signed yet, but would you watch Oprah and Jen helm a talk show?
