From: The Hollywood Reporter

Al Gore is taking a rare step in front of the cameras on Current TV.

The news-focused cable network, which the former vice president co-founded in 2005, announced Wednesday that Gore will take lead during the upcoming coverage of the Democratic and Republican National Conventions.

Current TV personalities Jennifer Granholm (the former Michigan governor), Eliot Spitzer (the former New York Governor and Keith Olbermann replacement) and Young Turks host Cenk Uygur will join Gore during a nightly roundtable.

“I’m pleased to be participating in Current TV’s impressive line-up throughout the Republican and Democratic National Conventions,” said Gore. “Cenk, Jennifer and Eliot provide the keen insight and spot-on analysis our viewers have come to expect, combined with decades of experience in public service and a deep understanding of politics. I have no doubt that our coverage will be innovative and informative, and I look forward to working with them.”

1. Does this mean Gore won't be speaking at the convention?

He spoke the last night from Mile High - I hope he speaks again.

2. I guess not.

I didn't even think about that when I posted this. Good point.
