Well, everyone wondered what was next. I guess now we know. There are various media reports, but I think this one hits most of the high points. Any chance Roy Disney may be a guest?:animwink:
Michael Eisner, former chief of the Walt Disney Co., will become host of his own CNBC interview program that will be seen once every two months, the network said Tuesday.
"Conversations with Michael Eisner" will be an hour-long, prime-time show where Eisner speaks with business, entertainment or political leaders. His focus will be on creativity and innovation, he said.
He'll work from a studio at NBC Universal headquarters in Rockefeller Center, where he once worked as a page. Eisner was an ABC executive before moving up the corporate ladder, and he was familiar to TV viewers as the on-air host of "The Wonderful World of Disney."
CNBC did not say Tuesday when the first show will air.
In October, Eisner cut all business ties to Disney, the company he ran for 21 years. Robert Iger succeeded him as Disney chief.
Eisner warmed up for his role last October when he filled in as guest interviewer for Charlie Rose one night on PBS. Media executive Barry Diller and actor John Travolta were his subjects.
"I am very excited that in my circle of life, I am returning to the same NBC studio where I was a page for the `Tonight Show' with Johnny Carson in the 1960s," he said. CBC is a unit of General Electric Co.
