Will Mike Huckabee become a official radio or TV show host before August?
Settled as No
From CNN:
"Former Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee has signed a contract with Creative Artists Agency in Los Angeles, daughter and senior advisor Sarah Huckabee tells CNN.
“Nothing has been decided,” the younger Huckabee says of future projects, “[it] probably won't be just one thing but maybe several different things. Just exploring options right now.”
Huckabee follows former rival Fred Thompson’s lead by inking a post-campaign deal with a talent agency. But unlike the former Tennessee senator, this is Huckabee’s first official foray into show business.
While running, his appearances on late-night shows like 'Saturday Night Live' and 'The Colbert Report' garnered praise and Huckabee seemed armed with a new expression for every television appearance. As it became apparent he wouldn’t win the Republican nomination, reporters began asking Huckabee about a possible future in television.
In a letter to supporters Wednesday, Huckabee announced that on Thursday he will host what is being billed as “a landmark teleconference call” that will lay out his plans for the future and discuss the state of the conservative movement."

Hubdub Category Editor
I apologize (again). It is now apparent that I've got your position and Destry's reversed. IMO, commentator does not equal host, so this question should remain open, or be voided for contention and lack of restraint by super user AAA.
I'm very conservative in suspending questions, and try to let the category editors run things. We super-users are supposed to help the cause, not police it, and I got carried away in my initial misinterpretation on Destry's post.
IMO, commentator != host. Ryan leaving this open is appropriate.
And I apologize for my indiscretion in the comments.
