Speaking of Ronan Farrow: Ronan Farrow Set To Host MSNBC Show

[cali]

Ronan Farrow, the son of Mia Farrow and a human rights advocate, is set to ink a deal to host a show on MSNBC, the Hollywood Reporter said on Wednesday.

Farrow, who served in the State Department under Hillary Clinton, was a child prodigy and is a popular presence on social media, will likely host a show on the weekends, where MSNBC has been undergoing a major expansion, the site said. At 25, Farrow would be by far the youngest host on the network.

The news of his potential hiring came just as Farrow found himself in the public eye once again, as his mother told Vanity Fair that he might be Frank Sinatra's son, and not Woody Allen's.

4. No. Looks like Mia Farrow. Has Woody Allen's intelligence.

I would bet on Woody Allen as the dad.

Look at pictures of Mia Farrow when she was young.

He looks more like Frank Sinatra than Woody Allen, but he mostly resembles his mother.

[cali]

6. so it's impossible that he inheirited his intelligence from

Mia or someone other than Allen?

Absurd.

[JDPriestly]

10. Woody Allen is quite unusual. We shall see what this young man is really like.

I think he looks a lot like his mother.

18. Woody is a POS. I'm glad Mia revealed that he was "possibly" not the father of Ronan...glad

Woody had to feel the public burn on that. I hope he felt humiliated. He deserves it after what he did.

[JDPriestly]

22. Woody is "unusual." Hard for me to understand him at all.

His comedies, however, are wonderful and demonstrate an outstanding intelligence.

Hey. Goethe wrote Faust about the ravishing of a 16-year-old.

It is not just a German classic. Seems sick by today's standards, but a few hundred years ago, girls were not so rarely married at the age of 14.

I don't approve. In fact, it is repugnant to me personally. But I also recognize that we have actually raised our standards.

If this young man is the son of Woody Allen, we should not judge him for that.

If he is the son of Frank Sinatra, I may be able to tell from his voice.

Frank Sinatra had other children. I don't think Woody Allen did. So if this young man is not Woody Allen's child, then Woody Allen has no children.

I don't know why I am even interested in this. I can't stand celebrity gossip.

We shall see what happens with this young man.

12. That's twice today you've said something I agree with. Gotta stop this!

[cali]

11. He is not another Lukey Russert.

Not even close!

[hlthe2b]

16. He is to Luke Russert what Albert Einstein is to Sarah Palin.

[libnnc]

8. I always thought Mia's relationship with Frank was sweet

They really did love each other. She understood him.

Ronan's a genius. I hope he's successful at the teevee thing. He sure has the looks for it!

[NightWatcher]

15. Hell of a way to get press for his new show, did they contact Maury?

Nothing says class like a public paternity debate

[cali]

17. agreed. and it's not like he doesn't have great credentials

[NightWatcher]

19. Did he murder an intern he was screwing then quit his day job right after being hired?

[cali]

20. huh?

[NightWatcher]

21. whoops, that was Joe Scarborough before he got his show

[cali]

23. nothing like Joe Scarborough
