The budding hyphenate — whose fledgling shingle comprises titles like Wuthering Heights, Lonely are the Brave, The Professionals and Little Big Man — fills the gap left behind by March programmer Evander Holyfield. Neither Trebek not TCM host Robert Osborne was available for comment, although a Turner source confirmed today that Trebek's deal requires Osborne to phrase his share of their discussion in the form of a question. What's next, Pat Sajak developing an original drama for Showtime? Or, perhaps, Chuck Woolery closing a four-picture deal (with final-cut privileges, natch) for The Weinstein Co? [TCM]
