Duchess of York Desires American TV Show

Britain's Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has guest hosted ABC's "The View," CNN's "Larry King Live" and is a special correspondent for NBC's "Today" show, but now she wants her own American television program. "I want it me going round (in) middle America," she said. "I want to go out and see what the needs are, and then the audience has to challenge me ... to go and fix the school in Boise or get another restaurant in Allentown," says Ferguson.

Ferguson credits America with saving her after her high profile divorce in 1996 from Queen Elizabeth's son Prince Andrew, with whom she has daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and weight battles that saw her become a frequent tabloid target. "I love American people because they saved my life. When the British threw me out, the Americans embraced me and said: 'It's alright Fergie, we'll have you, we'll give you a second chance,'" she said.
