She's a Democrat with snap, but that doesn't mean Hollywood activist Fran Drescher—TV's The Nanny—isn't sweet on Fox News. In giving up her ambition to run for office in New York, she's opened negotiations with Fox for a talk show. And why not? she says with that trademark nasal giggle. "A lot of my fans watch Fox News," says Drescher, who is also talking to MSNBC. The possible topics the cancer survivor and State Department envoy wants to explore: politics, healthcare, world affairs.

She is smart, funny, witty, caring and gorgeous and has more to offer than many of the talking heads already on the air. I think she would be a great addition to the news talk show lineup. I hope Fox gives her an opportunity to show her stuff.

We love Fran Drescher for her funny, her smarts, her activism. She is one of our heroes! Go Fran, and do whatever you want, as long as we get to keep seeing you. A sitcom with Peter sounds like a big winner!

I dont know.. I love her, but politics.. I don't see her in. I admire all she is doing for health care rand the cancer movement but I think politics is not where she is experienced. She needs to have another sitcom, she is made to be on the camera for a show like The Nanny.
