Carville, Matalin stump for talker

By VARIETY STAFF

Talk about spin city. Dueling political strategists James Carville and Mary Matalin are developing a talkshow with Comcast's C3 production arm and Stone Stanley Prods. A pilot for the show, tentatively titled "All's Fair" after the couple's 1995 bestseller "All's Fair: Love, War & Running for President," was taped on the Paramount lot last week.

The partners are expected to shop the tape to syndie distributors and cable nets. Although they're known for being on opposite ends of the political spectrum --- he was working for Bill Clinton, she for George Bush when they fell for each other in 1992 --- producers are said to be striving for an entertainment vehicle, not the C-SPAN demo. Matalin, formerly co-host of CNBC's "Equal Time," presently hosts a Monday-Friday call-in show for CBS Radio. The 1994 Michael Keaton-Geena Davis feature "Speechless" was loosely based on her strange-bedfellow romance with Carville.
