Jennifer Garner: Talk Show Host in Training

Jennifer Garner (Prada top, PINE IV jeans, Valentino bag) flashes a big ol’ smile for photographers on Wednesday as she drove home after shopping at the “Foot Candy” shoe store and lunching with a friend in Brentwood, Calif.

She and former (failed?) So You Think You Can Dance host Lauren Sanchez-Whitesell are in talks to start a new talk show for mothers, People reported earlier this week.

“It’s really [Jennifer's] show and I’m the host,” said Sanchez, whose husband, agent Patrick Whitesell, represents Jen‘s hubby Ben Affleck.

“We’re pitching it next week to a network. I call Jen the Barbara Walters of the show. She will come on periodically. We haven’t quite settled exactly [how often], but she’s the executive producer.

“We’ll talk about how to get your kids to sleep, or how do you choose the right school, or how to keep your marriage together after having kids. Jen might talk about how you keep a marriage together when you’re in the spotlight with a child. She’s photographed picking up trash in her front yard, she’s photographed doing everything.”
