In May, you'll be able to tune in to The Gavin Newsom Show on Current TV and lose yourself in the California Lieutenant Governor's distracting smile on a weekly basis. The New York Times'  Brian Stelter says that Current will announce the show today. "He will remain in his lieutenant governor post — creating a rare if not unprecedented mix of media and governmental jobs," writes Stelter.

Current didn't disclose Newsom's salary, but did say he was being paid. That smile ... it almost makes the Olbermann departure hurt a little less right?
