It looks like Gavin Newsom is ready to move on.
"The Gavin Newsom Show," the California lieutenant governor's Current TV chat program, will go off the air, his spokesperson said Wednesday.
"The Gavin Newsom Show was a remarkable opportunity and a truly educational experience for which he is grateful," spokesman Peter Ragone said in a prepared statement. "But the Lt. Governor's original agreement with Current had recently concluded and he was already moving in a new direction."
According to Ragone, Newsom's departure was unrelated to Current TV's acquisition by Al Jazeera, which the New York Times also reported Wednesday.
The restauranteur turned mayor turned governor-in-waiting turned Sacramento-basher debuted his hour-long show in May. Since then, he's welcomed a plethora of movers and shakers onto his set, including columnist Nick Kristof, pop megastar Will.i.am, film icon Oliver Stone and supermodel Petra Nemcova. (The Huffington Post was lucky enough to feature exclusive clips each week!)
So what's next for the Gav? He's got a book coming out, for one. And as the Sacramento Bee notes, it's still unclear when his final show will air. Oh yeah, and there's that whole helping Jerry Brown run California thing, too.
Best of luck, Lieutenant Governor, whatever "new direction" materializes for you. Our Friday nights at 10 p.m. PST / 1 a.m. EST will never be the same.
