Solution on page 2 CoverStory By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it If judging "American Idol" seemed an unex- pected move for Harry Connick Jr., here comes his next one. The singer-actor joins the ranks of weekday talk- show hosts as the syndi- cated "Harry" premieres Monday, Sept. 12 (check local listings). Effective- ly succeeding Meredith Vieira, who fronted NBC Universal Domestic Televi- sion Distribution's previous bid in the genre, Connick says he deems the New York-based program "an opportunity for me to do all of the things that I really love to do sort of under one roof. I get to play music. I get to entertain. I get to meet incredible people, both celebrities and everyday folks who are absolutely amazing. I also get to experience the entertainment business in a new way. "I've always liked to try to do new things," Con- nick adds. People asked me the same thing when I signed up to do 'Will & Grace' ... 'What made you want to do that?,' or 'What made you want to star on Broadway (in concerts, plus "The Pajama Game" and "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever")?' I love performing, and so far out of everything I've done, this seems to be the most in line with probably who I am, I think. I'm not playing a character. I get to go out and work with immensely talented people and meet incredibly talented people and share it with the peo- ple that I play for when I go out across the country on tour. That just seems like a dream job to me." As for others who have had similar jobs, "I've been up there with just about everybody," Connick notes of having been a guest of numer- ous talk-show hosts, "and there are people that I consider to be the best in the business. I think David Letterman, as a person who would ask questions and interact with a guest, was incredible. (I also like) Michael Parkinson in En- gland. Ellen (DeGeneres) is fantastic. Oprah was fantastic. I definitely have my favorites, but I've also learned a lot about what I love about the process as a guest and what I don't like so much."
