It looks like Jennifer Aniston is on the brink of striking a deal with Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) to host a late-night live talk show. The news spread by OK! Magazine over the weekend has been updated by Daily Express which informed that Chelsea Handler played a role in Aniston deciding to take the job.

"Jen became fascinated with the format after spending time with Chelsea," Express quoted an OWN source as saying. "When she saw Oprah she mentioned that it would be fun to do a chat show and Oprah seized the moment and suggested they front one together for her network." Handler is a talk show host, comedian and actress who has become friends with Aniston.

The Oprah-Aniston talk show will be a "once a week" kind of thing. The plan is to have it launched in America in Spring and in Britain the end of next year. Aniston who "absolutely wants to do it" will be co-producing as well, but her salary is not yet determined.
