Livin' Large is the new version of the eighties show, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. It's a syndicated hour-long show that airs on weekends. She cohosts the show with actor Kadeem Hardison. The show is all about extravegant living, but a good portion of the show highlights people who spend their money to help others.
Many of these episodes show Carmen doing the typical hosting thing: reading the telepromptor and looking pretty. That's always worth watching. Sometimes the show will do entire segments based on Carmen, which are a total treat. So far they've done segments on her Cardio Strip class she takes at the Crunch gym. She got measured by lazors to have a Pussycat Dolls action figure molded after her. They toured the inside of her closet and showed her going through the process of reorganizing it, and many more...
Proabably the segment you'll be most interested in is when she photographed a nude Jennifer Walcott for Playboy. Playboy.com has a section of their site devoted to photo shoots done by guest celebrity photographers. Carmen was the first woman photographer used for the project, and Livin' Large followed her through the process. You can see the whole segment in the movie clip. (18 megabites. Edited for television, of course!)
The show airs just about everywhere in the country now. It does have a really crumby timeslot in many cities, so it probably wouldn't hurt to e-mail your local affiliate and tell them you'd like to see the show at a more decent hour.
