"Ester is no stranger to Hollywood and she says what others only dare to think. While she does have an occasional slip of the tongue, her language is mostly PG, and the old broad is certainly always funny," laughed KoldCast Studios executive producer, Bill Neal, who will co-produce "Showbiz Schmooze" with Airington/Goldberg. "Make no mistake about it, this is Ester's gig all the way; I'm just here to make sure our entertainment diva is well lit and that her champagne glass is kept full during taping," Neal adds. Prior to joining KoldCast Studios, Neal executive produced over 130 episodes of E! True Hollywood Story for E! Entertainment Television, among other high-profile Shows.

"Schmooze" is only the first in a lineup of original web series and shows being developed by, or for, KoldCast TV. "This Show is for our comedy fans and celebrity inspired viewers; and you can expect to see a series of additional original programming announcements on this front and others on a fairly consistent basis for the foreseeable," Neal said.

"The Show will initially be shot in studio and, as the Show matures, Ester will not only take her post and report live from red carpet events, she'll be hitting the bricks conducting street interviews with Hollywood passerby, albeit with custom insoles to keep her afloat while covering all the dirty glitz and tarnished Hollywood glamour," Airington joked, "And Ester just can't wait to roll tape."
