A Really Big Shew: Donald J. Trump has been telling friends he wants to host a variety show on CBS Sunday nights at 8, the time slot once occupied by Ed Sullivan. Trump Organization aide Norma Foerderer confirmed the New York real estate developer’s seriousness about the project but said he was unavailable for comment. Trump reportedly has not contacted CBS officials. An executive at Universal Television, which produces “Murder, She Wrote,” which currently airs Sundays at 8 p.m., said, “Keep dreaming, Donald. All his money, even if he has enough left, couldn’t buy Angela Lansbury’s time slot.” The executive did not want to be identified because of what she deemed the “outrageousness” of the idea.
