LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer is working on a television interview show in which he banters with guests about a variety of topics.

A spokesman for TV syndication company Debmar-Mercury said Monday that a pilot episode of the series, titled “Sean Spicer’s Common Ground,” is in the works.

No other details about the episode were released. The plans were first reported by The New York Times.

The Times reported 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.

  1. Avenatti later added that he’d rather decline two German nouns than a TV appearance. “But,” he said, “there are limits.”

  2. Why do I have the suspicion that the guest list will end up consisting almost entirely of otherwise unemployable ex-Trump staffers?

  3. The Mooch is always available …

  4. I give it 30 days.

    Absolutely nobody will watch.

    He made a daily joke of himself all for Trump.

    He sacrificed himself for Trump.

    Just let that sink in for a minute.

    Nobody’d better advertise anything I might want to buy on there.
