Sean Spicer, arguably the world’s most famous White House press secretary, is developing a talk show with the tentative title of Sean Spicer’s Common Ground, in which the former spokesman for President Trump interviews notable people in an informal setting. (NYT)
Debmar-Mercury—whose roster includes Family Feud and The Wendy Williams Show—and the Pilgrim Media Group have greenlit the pilot. (Mediaite)
No other details about the episode were released.
The presumption is that the show would feature Spicer interviewing public figures and have respectful conversations on topics ranging from the media to sports to marriage.
Attorney Michael Avenatti, who represents porn star Stormy Daniels in lawsuits about an alleged affair with President Donald Trump, says he was approached to be a guest on the inaugural episode. Avenatti wrote on Twitter he declined.
I turned down Sean Spicer for his new show despite the fact that it would have been YUGE with the biggest ratings since the Apprentice and the largest live audience since the 2017 Inauguration (which was the largest ever on record)!!!!!!!!!
