Money must talk for Clinton to accept TV role
Associates of the former US president have held a series of meetings with the CBS network after negotiations with the rival NBC station broke down last month. According to the New York Times, CBS executives said Mr Clinton had offered assurances that under the right circumstances he would host a show.
Speculation that the 56-year-old was planning to host a show first surfaced in May, but his spokesman dismissed the reports, saying he had only held courtesy meetings with TV companies.
