Will Amanpour Turn Politico?

Foreign correspondent may host This Week.

Could CNN mainstay Christiane Amanpour become the new host of ABC’s This Week? Though she’s made her name as a foreign correspondent and not as a politico, sources say that Amanpour is a top candidate to replace George Stephanopoulos, who recently moved to NBC’s Good Morning America. In the interim Stephanopoulos’ seat has been kept warm by a variety of guest hosts including Barbara Walters, and this coming week Matthew Dowd will host.
