NEW YORK — Roger Ailes, a top media adviser for Presidents Bush and Reagan, has teamed up with columnist Liz Smith of the Daily News to make two TV specials.
Ailes is serving as executive producer of the specials, which have the working title of “Liz Smith Profiles,” according to Jeff Erdell, a spokesman for Times Square Studios, where the specials were taped.
One show is about veteran CBS correspondent Mike Wallace, the other about singer Wayne Newton, Erdell said. He said the Fox network expects to broadcast the shows this spring.
Dom Giofre, a Fox spokesman, said the shows are regarded as a pilot for a possible series.
