“The Nate Berkus Show” Series Premiere Will Feature
Interview With Elizabeth Edwards
Oprah protege Nate Berkus has snagged Elizabeth Edwards — jilted bride of shamed
politico John Edwards — for its series premiere next month, Harpo Productions have
announced.
Berkus will sit down with the cancer-stricken Mrs. Edwards as she reveals how she is
beginning a new chapter in her life after her husband’s polarizing sex scandal. She’ll
also open the doors to her Chapel Hill, North Carolina home furnishings business —
Red Window — and discuss how her passion for design is reclaiming her life.
Elizabeth talked about John’s affair and lovechild with videographer Rielle Hunter in the
2009 best-selling memoir, Resilence.
“I found Elizabeth to be incredibly honest, funny and just a pleasure to be around. Her
passion to build a new life for herself is nothing if not inspiring. And, the fact that we
both love design, gave us an instant connection,” says Berkus, who rose to
prominence after his talents as an interior decorator where touted by The Queen of
Talk.
Nate adds that Elizabeth’s “candor, pure wit and love of life” will surprise the viewers.
The Nate Berkus Show premieres Sept. 13.
