Robin Quivers Signs TV Deal With Sony
Howard Stern sidekick Robin Quivers is getting her own daytime talk show. Quivers, who's worked with Stern for 23 years, has inked a deal with Sony Television to develop the talk show, which could launch as early as next fall — and end her partnership with Stern.
"Robin is a dynamic person whose abilities behind the microphone are already known to millions of fans around the world," Sony exec Melanie Chilek said in a statement. "However, there is a side of her that fans are rarely exposed to," Chilek added. "She is both talented and caring and has overcome many challenges on her way to the top."
Officials could not — or would not — say what, if any, impact Quivers' new TV show will have on her future on Stern's nationally syndicated radio show, which is slated to move to Sirius Satellite Radio in January 2006.
In a statement, Quivers said, "I'm really excited about this opportunity and have always enjoyed my daily interaction with audiences. I look forward to extending that role with daytime television audiences."
According to the Sony announcement, Quivers will continue working with Stern "while developing the series.”
Stern has said on the air that he expects all his on-air staff to join him in the move to Sirius.
