MONDAY

  • Here’s a thriller that’s fast-becoming anything but the fiction it was written as: John Gambling talks with Daniel Putkowski about his new book, “Universal Coverage,” the plot of which revolves around…you guessed it…government-run health care!
  • The holidays mean bowl-game time and Len Berman’s got the scoop when he talks with John Gambling this morning!  Plus, how’d the Giants make out versus the Carolina Panthers yesterday?
  • Christmas might be over, but New Year’s is later this week…find out how to have a fun and affordable celebration when lifestyle expert Bruce Littlefield talks with Fox News Channel legal analyst Lis Wiehl as she sits in for Joan Hamburg today!  Lis will also speak with board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Dale Archer about one of the year’s biggest stories…the Tiger Woods scandal.  Why DO men cheat, anyway?  And criminal defense attorney Mickey Sherman tells Lis why he views the David Goldman custody case as a kidnapping!

TUESDAY

  • Media analyst Steve Adubato sits in for Joan Hamburg!

WEDNESDAY

  • Fox News Channel’s Lis Wiehl sits in for Joan Hamburg and presents our weekly food hour!  Make sure your New Year’s Eve celebration has the BEST in food and drink…James Beard Award-winning chefs Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg stop by to share some tips with Lis.  Plus, Lesley Anderson of CHOW.com takes Lis on a trip back to 1999 for a look at how and what we eat has changed over the past ten years.  And if all this talk of food is causing you to gain a few extra pounds, you’re not alone…avoid breaking your New Year’s diet resolution with some tips from University of Michigan psychotherapist and nutritionist Marilyn Ann Migliore!

THURSDAY

  • Get a preview of what Albany has in store for 2010 when Governor David Paterson talks with John Gambling!
  • After twenty-seven years as David Letterman’s music director, Paul Shaffer is now ready to tell all.  He’ll sit down today with Joan Hamburg and discuss his new memoir, in which he dishes on everyone from John Belushi and Jerry Lewis to Mel Gibson and Britney Spears!  Plus, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger talks with Joan about one of the year’s most amazing stories…his miracle landing of a U.S. Airways jet on the Hudson River!  Finally, how did the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Jr. affect the lives of those closest to him?  Kennedy biographer C. David Heymann talks with Joan about his new book, Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story.
  • Call in with your views on the top stories of the day as talk show host Chris Stigall sits in for Steve Malzberg!

FRIDAY

  • Kick off the New Year well-informed on the day’s top stories as Philadelphia talk show host Dom Giordano fills in for John Gambling!

Happy New Year, everyone!
