Charlie Rose to have a show where he’ll interview high-profile men who have also been toppled by #MeToo scandals
"The move was revealed by editor, writer and women’s advocate Tina Brown, who confirmed to Page Six that she was recently approached to produce a #MeToo atonement series starring Rose, who would interview others embroiled in sexual harassment scandals.
Brown — who added that she passed on the project — first mentioned the proposed Rose redemption show while she appeared at a Q&A this week at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy’s Women’s Luncheon.
Said a source: “Tina said she’d just been e-mailed about co-hosting a new show with Charlie Rose, in which they’d interview Louis C.K., Matt Lauer” and others caught up in the #MeToo sexual harassment scandals.
Brown explained to the group that she was having none of it, and remarked, “These guys are already planning their comebacks!” The talk was moderated by WNYC’s Mary Harris at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge."

Brilliant.
Will he open each episode in a bath robe with his ball dangling in plain sight?
Not even Loretta Young could do an opening like THAT.

Trump was toppled by a consensual relationship. It is only recently that Monica said the Me2 thing.

Maybe they could go out to Arlington and dig up JFK.

I think Heather's comment is right to the point:

I think it will be very entertaining. This guy has a gigantic ego. He was a terrible interviewer and looked awful on camera yet somehow held on to his job for way too long. He must have known where a lot of the bodies were buried at CBS.
