THE NEW SERIES, “C.S.I.: D.C.” will feature the former president as a police forensics investigator probing, in the words of the CBS press release, “a full docket of mysteries, crimes and sexual harassment lawsuits from the Clinton administration.”
A spokesman for CBS said that in the first season of “C.S.I.: D.C.,” Clinton will investigate “such enduring mysteries as the disappearance of the Rose Law Firm billing records, the death of White House aide Vincent Foster and what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.”
“He’ll basically be picking up where Ken Starr left off,” the spokesman said. While network officials said that no other cast members for Clinton’s new series had been set at this time, they poured cold water on rumors that his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), would play his wisecracking sidekick on the show.
“Senator Clinton already has a full-time job being the bane of Senate Republicans’ existence,” the spokesman said.
Instead, CBS indicated, the show would be cast, at the ex-president’s request, entirely with fresh faces culled from the popular “Girls Gone Wild” video series.
