ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Sen. John Kerry is about to make the rounds on the talk shows.
He's been booked for interviews on "Dr. Phil," "Live with Regis and Kelly" and "The Late Show with David Letterman."
A Kerry spokeswoman said it's being done to reach out to people "who might not be paying attention just to nightly news." His campaign hopes it will also impress upon viewers that Kerry likes the same things as other Americans -- sports, family, jokes and fast food.
Kerry's interview with Dr. Phil McGraw was taped this past weekend and will also feature Teresa Heinz Kerry. McGraw has already taped a show with President George W. Bush and the First lady that will air later.
