Lisa Ling engaged to Chicago doctor
Correspondent for National Geographic plans to marry later this year

NEW YORK - Lisa Ling, National Geographic Channel correspondent and former co-host of “The View,” got engaged to Paul Song, a Chicago-based doctor, over the holidays.

Ling and Song plan to marry later this year in Los Angeles, Chris Albert, a representative for the National Geographic Channel, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The 41-year-old Song, an oncologist, popped the question to Ling, 33, alongside their families at a Chicago restaurant, Albert said.

Ling, who is also a correspondent for Oprah Winfrey’s talk show, ended her engagement to entrepreneur Philip Levine in October 2005. She left ABC’s “The View” in 2002 after three years, and went on to host National Geographic’s “Ultimate Explorer.”

Well, she seems to have her head on straight, so hopefully these crazy kids will make it. Only time will tell.
She was smart enough to get off 'The View'...so I give her some credit.

^^I forget, did she leave voluntarily or did they fire her?

AH! I've loved her ever since she was the host on Channel One, when I was in high school. Anyone rememnber her there?

Either way, good for her.

^ Yeah, I remember her on that show. She was still in high school at the time in the early 90's. Hope everything works out for her.

I believe she left the show voluntarily to do the National Geographic thing.

I used to love that show. Anderson Cooper was on there with her.

Her name would be Lisa Ling-Song? That's funny.

Wish them the best of luck with their marriage. She was wise to leave the View.

Also hope that she does not hyphenate her name at the risk of sounding panda-ish.

I remember her and Anderson Cooper on Channel One! She does seem like someone who's got her act together, and I hope all the best for her.
