The Daily Beast reports today that ABC President David Westin was in Washington this week to chat with George Stephanopoulos about "Good Morning America."

A source close to "GMA" tells the Daily Beast the gig is "George's now to lose."

Can we make a suggestion... what about wife Ali Wentworth? She's already a blast on "Oprah," jumping out of planes and dancing with the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders...

Set your Tivos... Vice President Joe Biden will be a guest of Jon Stewart's on "The Daily Show" next Tuesday.

This will be Biden's sixth appearance, but his first time back since being elected Vice President. His last appearance was when he was still a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president in August 2007.

These pics are from a recent "Real Housewives of DC" dinner at Hotel Dupont...

Oprah has released some clips of her interview with Sarah Palin that will air next Monday. You may have caught these clips on cable already today.

On her interview with CBS' Katie Couric:

Oprah: Let's talk about the interview with Katie Couric.

Palin: Must we?

Oprah: Yeah.

Palin: Okay. Okay.

Oprah: You talk about it in the book so I assume everything in the book is fair game today.

Palin: It is.

Oprah: You do say that it wasn't your best interview.

Oprah: Do you think that was a seminal defining moment for you, that interview?

Palin: I did not. And neither did the campaign. In fact, that is why Segment 2 and 3 and 4 and maybe 5 were scheduled. The campaign said, right on. Good. You're showing your independence. This is what America needs to see and it was a good interview. And of course I'm thinking, if you thought that was a good interview, I don't know what a bad interview is because I knew it was a bad interview.

And after the jump, Palin's comments on Levi Johnston...

Oprah's interview with Sarah Palin doesn't air until next Monday, but the talk show host turned to YouTube this week for a sneak peek.

Oprah: "We talked about inside the campaign, about what it felt like when she was first asked to be vice president... There was nothing we didn't talk about."

On Facebook Palin said she "enjoyed it so much that we went way over on time."

CNN announced this morning that John King will take over the 7pm time slot vacated by Lou Dobbs just last night.

King is host of "State of the Union" and he will continue to anchor CNN's Sunday show until the beginning of next year, when his week night program begins.

In a press release CNN/US president Jon Klein said: "John has enthralled CNN viewers with his vast political knowledge, and he has spent the past year reporting from beyond the Beltway on pressing policy issues and the real people they impact. Every night, he'll share his passion and his insights about what is really going on in Washington and across America."

And King said he is "thrilled": "There is a lot of noise and conflict in our political discourse, which is fun to cover, but I'm convinced from my travels that people also thirst for more details as well as insight and context. I'm looking forward to combining those conversations with top newsmakers, smart reporting and expert analysis."
