my saturday morning weekly program is approaching its tenth year here on cnn. thank you for that. i can this a great privilege. i m grate ful for all the regulr viewers. a quick story. back in 2006 after i was appearing regularly on cnn as a legal guest, the network told me they liked my work but didn t know what to do with me. do you have any ideas, i was asked. i do. i think the network brass were surprise d when i pitched my idea. hosting a weekly book club. i envisioned an entertainment show featuring author interviews and discussion of the best in journalism. the network was intrigued and decided to go ahead and order a pilot. we filmed it beginning with me back at home on market street in philadelphia. i remember being so nervous and having to do many, many takes. headlines plucked from today s newspaper. when you add in drama, when you add in a wisecracking whip, when you add in a sexy, smart love interest, then you can gentlien transition from the hard news to the h
