"Dancing with the Stars" champ Emmitt Smith is a hot commodity in entertainment these days.

Well-placed industry sources tell TMZ that Smith has had discussions with at least one major studio about hosting his own talk show.

Smith's "likability" may have catapulted him to the top of the heap on "Dancing." Some TV execs apparently think it will translate into daytime ratings.

Ok, I like Emmitt a LOT (huge Cowboys fan) but even I can see this is a loser idea. The guy cannot talk well....vocabulary/grammar....but, who knows.

I wouldn't mind him doing some sports commentating, but a talk show? Puh-leeze!

Is it just me, or is every Tom, Dick and Harry who has had a comeback of sorts in "negotations" for a possible talk show?!?
(not to say that Emmitt Smith has had a "comeback", I'm fully aware of how popular he has been and is currently with football fans...)
