NEW YORK -- The cameras are still rolling on Star Jones, even though she's no longer on "The View."

Jones reportedly is going to host "House Hunters" on HGTV for a week.

The New York Post said the episodes were taped in Manhattan a few weeks ago.

Now that Jones is no longer giving her opinions on "The View," this could be an unofficial tryout for her.


Big Audience For King Interview

One beneficiary from the catfight between Star Jones and Barbara Walters is CNN.

More than 3 million people tuned into "Larry King Live" last Thursday to hear Jones' version of her departure from "The View."

That's three times the audience King usually draws.

There has been so much interest in the Jones' interview, CNN rebroadcast it several times last weekend.

Damn. I guess that is one week too many that I won't watch that show. She is like the damn plague.

[Lakesweetjane]

There goes the ratings!

Note to self: DO NOT WATCH HGTV EVER!!!!

[equallydivided]

I'm on an HGTV Bann in my house...and it lasts until Star Jones doesn't.

[Palermo]

Damn it - I love that show and now I can't watch it!

[Bellatheball]

Wow, that's quite a slip though, isn't it? Going from prime day time slots to a night time show that most people watch when nothing else is on....wow.

[LynnieD]

^^In her mind its probably the best thing ever because its just HER.

[Bellatheball]

^^ That could well be LynnieD.


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

It won't last, I just do not see her walking up and down stairs.

I absolutely love House hunters. I'm too addicted to stop watching. I don't think it'll be that bad since the host of the show only talks in the beginning middle, and end of the show. They are on screen for like 5 minutes total. I hope they don't get rid of the asian host because my mom loves her

[Bellatheball]

But what will happen to Suzanne Wong?

[Elisa]

Talk about a BIG step down! And they're only tryin' her for a week at that? BWAH!!!

[Elvira]

^ ^ ^
It is a big step down. I guess she has to take anything she can get so she
won't be forgotten. Is Jerry Springer hiring?

I know, I love House Hunters! Hopefully she (SW) is just going on vacation.
