Maria Shriver’s surprise appearance on “Today” was such a big hit that NBC heads are reportedly hoping for a more permanent deal. But the question is whether she’s interested.
Shriver covered the new pope’s first few days at the Vatican on NBC and MSNBC last week.
According to TMZ, Shriver has refused overtures from NBC and has even turned down talk show offers from other networks in the past. It’s said she’s uninterested in the grind of daily TV and, additionally, she does not need the money.
She has a reported net worth of at least $100 million and that already sky-high sum could increase by as much as $200 million when her divorce with Arnold Schwarzengger is finalized.
Sources tell the gossip site that the former first lady of California is deeply invested in her charity work and raising her four kids.
Her status is characterized as “a friend of the ‘Today’ show helping NBC cover the pope,” a spokesman told The Post.
