The last thing America needs--aside, of course, from People Who Dump Their Spouses to Marry Farm Animals, on the next "Geraldo!"--is another talk-show host. But that hasn't stopped the good folks at America's Talking, the new all-talk cable network, from conducting a nationwide search for the next Maury or Leeza.
