With Uggie stealing hearts in “The Artist,” snagging the spotlight at celebrity events and reportedly preparing for a sketch with Oscar host Billy Crystal, Hollywood really has gone to the dogs this year.ABC News reporter and “Good Morning America” weekend host Kate Snow is jumping to NBC News.
NBC said Snow will begin work as a “Dateline NBC” correspondent in the spring. Snow has been with ABC since 2003 and one of its weekend morning anchors since the show launched in 2004. She covered Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign and was one of ABC’s reporters in Haiti after the earthquake.
Snow was a contender for the newsreader job on weekday “Good Morning America,” but that role went to Juju Chang.
Actress heads for ‘Middle’
Hot on the heels of landing a much-hyped “Saturday Night Live” hosting gig May 8, sitcom legend Betty White has been tapped to guest star in the season finale of ABC’s “The Middle,” which airs at 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays.
The sitcom, renewed for a second season, features Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn as a middle-class couple raising their three kids in a small town in Indiana.
White begins shooting the episode this week. She’ll play a school librarian who confronts quirky 7-year-old Brick (Atticus Shaffer) about hoarding overdue library books.
