NATION, Page 37American NotesENTERTAINMENTH-e-e-r-e's -- Jesse?
Oprah and Geraldo should brace themselves. The Rev. Jesse
Jackson is starting his own TV talk show. The two-time Democratic
presidential candidate announced last week that he has signed on
with a subsidiary of Warner Communications to produce Voices of
America with Jesse Jackson, a weekly one-hour program that will
debut in the fall of next year, if stations decide to buy it. The
surprisingly early announcement may have been meant to kill rumors
that Jackson may try to become mayor of Washington in the November
1990 elections. If so, it failed. While declaring once again that
he had "no plans" to run in that election, he noted that "my real
interest is serving and building a coalition as a communicator."
One adviser notes that since the last presidential campaign,
Jackson has been looking for a "steady platform" that would keep
him in the public eye. There has never been a conflict in Jackson's
ability to talk, talk, talk while he runs, runs, runs.
