If you thought Nik Wallenda's tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon (actually, the Little Colorado River Navajo Tribal Park if you want to be picky about it) seemed like a logistical nightmare, you'll appreciate the inherent challenges of Discovery's latest project. "Everest Jump Live" will not only have to wait for climber Joby Ogwyn to scramble up Mt. Everest, the weather will also need to be conducive for him jumping off of it in a wingsuit. Given that sudden weather changes account for a fair number of climber deaths, the May 11th 9:00 p.m. Et time slot has a caveat -- weather permitting. Just in case everything goes south, however, there will be a lot of commentators on hand to chatter through the time slot. NBC News’ Willie Geist will host, and he will be joined by The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore, who will serve as chief...

NBC News’ Willie Geist will host Discovery Channel’s Everest Live Jump two-hour telecast in which climber Joby Ogwyn will attempt the first wing-suit flight off the summit of Mt. Everest. That’s because the telecast is being produced by NBC News’ Peacock Productions. Interestingly, Geist will also be joined by The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore, who will serve as chief meteorologist and track Everest’s unpredictable weather conditions, while Chris Jacobs and Kyle Martino give live updates. The Weather Channel’s Sam Champion could use the exposure — the launch of his morning program Amhq has produced ratings lower than that network’s prior four-week average in the time period. Discovery says the Mt. Everest jump will be telecast live in May. The Today show co-host also gave the play-by-play account of Nik Wallenda’s tightrope walk over the Grand Canyon during Discovery Channel’s highly rated Skywire Live With Nik Wallenda,...

Kirstie Alley reveals to Et's Chris Jacobs intimate details about what she says was a powerful attraction and hidden relationship with her North and South co-star, Patrick Swayze. Although both stars were married during filming of the mini-series, Alley tells Jacobs when she first saw Swayze, they had an intense attraction and she tried to avoid "going down that road," but they ultimately fell in love.
"Both of us were married. We did not have an affair. But again, I think what I did was worse. Because I think when you fall in love with someone when you're married, you jeopardize your own marriage and their marriage. It's doubly bad," said Alley.

Hugh Hefner's former fiancee Crystal Harris broke down in tears during her first TV interview since the split, revealing she called off the wedding because she was "not the only woman in Hef's life".
The 84-year-old Playboy mogul was due to marry his favourite Playmate on Saturday, but Harris cancelled the ceremony and ended their romance just four days before they were supposed to exchange vows.
She has now given an emotional TV interview with America's Entertainment Tonight, sobbing as she spoke about the shock split and revealing she just "didn't feel comfortable" about sustaining a marriage with the Playboy boss because of his multitude of bunny girls.
A tearful Harris told host Chris Jacobs, "I can honestly say I was not the only woman in Hef's life and I didn't feel comfortable in my heart knowing that and being able to get married to him. Marriage is between two people and that's not what our relationship was... I had a great time there and I wouldn't trade it for the world... It makes me realise that money isn't everything... I disappointed everybody. I felt like I did."...
