Lane and Chenoweth Spoof Regis and Kelly

Openly gay entertainer Nathan Lane has conquered Broadway and Hollywood with his talent for both comedy and drama and for singing and dancing. But his ventures into television haven't been quite as successful - anyone out there remember Encore! Encore! or Charlie Lawrence?

His next stab at the small screen sounds a bit more promising, since he'll have the equally talented Kristin Chenoweth (Broadway's Wicked) at his side.

The duo will play a pair of daytime talk-show hosts - and any resemblance to Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa is purely intentional. (Chenoweth had her own short-lived NBC show, called Kristin, and she inspired the Christian character Harriet on Studio 60, created by her ex, Aaron Sorkin.)

With any luck, these two stage legends will be jazzing up the fall 2007 TV season.
