Last December there was a veritable bloodbath over at CBS when 'The Early Show' axed anchors Harry Smith and Maggie Rodriguez, plus meteorologist Dave Price, in a major reshuffle of CBS News on-air talent. Now it's been reported that early 2012 will see the show receive another makeover including a new set, maybe a new name, and two new hosts: PBS veteran Charlie Rose and Oprah's Bff Gayle King.
According to 'The New York Times' CBS will announce the planned revamp in New York on Tuesday. The network is expected to reveal a shift in direction away from the coffee klatch feel of most morning talk shows and towards a focus on hard news with the panel format of shows like MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' and ABC's 'The View.'
Current co-host Chris Wragge will reportedly lose his job in the reshuffle, but...

It was Day One of the new Early Show this morning on CBS. Gone were Harry Smith, Maggie Rodriguez, and Dave Price. In their seats were Chris Wragge, Erica Hill, and Marysol Castro. When the decision to revamp the third-place morning show was announced in November, some folks were none too pleased: Wragge was too handsome, said many critics, and his hard-news bonafides — he logged time on Entertainment Tonight — weren’t up to Smith-ian levels. Many loyal and disappointed fans of the previous team vowed not to watch the program. But the new gang seemed poised and professional this morning,...

Yesterday we heard that anchors Harry Smith and Maggie Rodriguez, plus meteorologist Dave Price, had been axed from 'The Early Show' in a major reshuffle of CBS News on-air talent.
Now, executive producer David Friedman has been explaining the reasons behind the sweeping -- and, to many, unexpected -- changes. He told The Hollywood Reporter that although the shakeup came after a lot of careful consideration, "it feels sudden because there are multiple people and it feels like a big deal."
The change of hosts has allegedly been a topic of discussion at CBS News for some time, according to sources, and it reinforces the critical importance of chemistry in morning television. Announcing the new anchors -- Erica Hill and Chris Wragge -- CBS News President Sean McManus said "This new team brings vibrancy, intelligence and warmth that I think America will grow to love.

I'm exhausted, pretty sure I'm getting sick, and have a headache more often than not. I'd say this was related to the end of the semester, but I think it's just that May is approaching which basically marks the beginning of summer here in North Cuba and the change of seasons always does screwy things to me. I'm lucky enough to be fleeing town in Mid-May so I don't have to stick around part of for what one prominent South Floridian writer (Dave Barry) referred to as "Giant Armpit Season" which falls roughly between June and September. You can spot the tourists pretty easily those months because they're the ones outside. Also, they always look surprised when the afternoon monsoons roll up. Don't get me wrong, I love the whole jungle meeting the ocean sort of environment down here, but when it's so humid I have to grow gills to...

Amanda Holden has landed an 18-month TV contract in America. The "Britain's Got Talent" judge will take over as the main female presenter on CBS' morning program "The Early Show" when current host Maggie Rodriguez goes on maternity leave later this year.
"It is a massive deal for her and she was absolutely thrilled," a source told the Daily Mirror newspaper. "Her profile is on the rise Stateside and viewers love her cut-glass accent and easy manner."
The 39-year-old star will apparently head to Los Angeles three weeks after the latest series of the ITV talent show, where she sits on the judging panel alongside Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell, ends this summer.
Bosses at the U.S. network are thrilled with Amanda's "natural" hosting shoes. The source added, "She is a natural presenter and has taken to it like a duck to water. Executives at CBS are predicting big things for her.

Nothing boosts ratings like a good old-fashioned, on-air colonoscopy, and The Early Show's Harry Smith is nothing if not a team player. And he's in the proper age group for colon spelunking. But when weather smarty Dave Price lobs a bad one-liner at Harry—laid up and helpless in his hospital bed, Katie "Candy Striper" Couric comes to his aid like a stand-up Florence Nightingale. Your move, Ripa.

I've admired Harry Smith before for his interviewing and dancing, so I felt a responsibility to tape his live colonoscopy on The Early Show this morning. If I wanted to be there for the fun times, I should also be there for the serious ones. It turns out his procedure — hosted by Katie Couric, who televised her own colonoscopy after her husband Jay Monahan lost his battle with the disease at the age of 42, and performed by Dr. Mark Pochapin, the director of the Jay Monahan Center for Gastrointestinal Health — was as entertaining as it was informative. Watch the full 20-minute segment below.

What's a sure-fire TV winner? Having a baby. Remember when Lucy had Little Ricky on I Love Lucy? Even the reruns that have been running for 50 years are still favorites. So, with that in mind, don't you think America will be overjoyed that Maggie Rodriguez on The Early Show is having a baby?
I do. I expect there to be a spike in the Nielsens as people tune in each morning to watch Maggie's tummy grow and check out her maternity fashions. On today's broadcast of CBS's morning show, Maggie broke the news to co-host Harry Smith, weather forecaster Dave Price and newsman Russ Mitchell. She told them they would all soon be uncles!

NEW YORK --- All three network morning shows chose Thursday to relate their newest hires to the media, but the only real surprise came from NBC News which said it had hired former ABC Sports reporter Melissa Stark as a national reporter for Today. Stark will also report for NBC Sports from the Summer Olympics in Athens in August 2004 and from other events. As reported earlier, ABC News officially hired CNN Washington correspondent Kate Snow to report for Good Morning America, where she will back up Terry Moran at the White House, among other assignments. And CBS News has signed on former local New York television weatherman Dave Price to do the same for The Early Show as well as host feature segments several times a week. In a showing of corporate synergy, Price will also do the weather for CBS flagship WCBS-TV on its 5 a.m.-7 a.m. news, and work with Viacom's syndication arm King World Productions to develop shows and appear on its existing programs.
