LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
Al D'Amato, the former
U.S. senator from New York, has his sights set on daytime
television.
A court show that D'Amato has been shopping to the
syndication business for fall 2009 has drawn interest from
major syndicators.
D'Amato, a Republican who served in the Senate from 1981 to
1999, was nicknamed "Senator Pothole" for his willingness to
meet with constituents and help them with their individual
cases. He also was known for his lengthy and at times comical
filibusters on the floor of the Senate, one of which found him
answering questions from a visiting colleague, reciting names
and singing "South of the Border."
He published a book, "Power, Pasta & Politics: The World
According to Senator Al D'Amato," in 1995 and founded the
consulting firm Park Strategies four years later.
His representatives at Rebel Entertainment Partners
declined comment Thursday.
