Aniston set for small screen comeback
Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston is headed back to the small
screen to front a late-night show with Oprah Winfrey, according to a new
report. The actress is set to produce and star alongside the media mogul
in a weekly programme broadcast on the Oprah Winfrey Network, a new
channel set to launch in the U.S. next year.
It was Aniston's friendship with comedienne Chelsea Handler, who
fronts her own TV talk show that inspired her to take on the project,
according to Britain's Sunday Express.
A source tells the publication, "Jen became fascinated with the
format after spending time with Chelsea. When she saw Oprah she
mentioned that it would be fun to do a chat show and Oprah seized the
moment and suggested they front one together for her new network."
Aniston, who is said to have a $210 million (£140 million) fortune,
is still negotiating her salary, but reports suggest the new venture
won't yield her major earnings just yet.
The insider adds, "Her salary is yet to be determined. She is doing
this for one reason only: She absolutely wants to do it."
