New York - Former X-rated intern Monica Lewinsky appears to have on her hands a certified ratings hit with her new interview show "Meet the Meat" which airs Friday nights at 8pm on the FOX News Network.
The show is based on William F. Buckley's "Firing Line," featuring every week a prominent newsmaker, politician or public figure in a rigorous intellectual tug-of-war. "Meet the Meat," however, departs from the "Firing Line" format in that the last ten minutes of the show are devoted to Ms. Lewinsky orally entertaining her guest rather than entertaining questions from the studio audience.
Guests this season are to include former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Senator and last living signer of the Declaration of Independence Strom Thurmond, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, PLO Chairman Yassir Arafat and the entire Los Angeles Lakers basketball team.
