John Edwards scandal: The Andrew Young TV tour

You're probably in one of two camps: Either you're sick to death of this x-rated homegrown trainwreck, or you can't wait for the next installment of "All My Love Children." If you're in that second camp, you'll want to set your DVR to catch all of Andrew Young's interviews as he jumps from show to show promoting his new book, "The Politician." So far, it looks like Young belongs to ABC, but if that changes, we'll add updates here.  

Friday, January 29
*20/20 (10pm, ABC) - Exclusive interview with Bob Woodruff...
*Nightline (11:30, ABC) - The hijinx continue...

Monday, February 1
*Good Morning America (7am, ABC) - Young's first live interview...

John Edwards, the books

Reporters John Heilemann and Mark Halperin have written a narrative of the 2008 presidential campaign, which includes a lengthy account of the political meltdown of John Edwards.  It has been excerpted in New York Magazine.

The  book is called Game Change.  It goes into great detail about Edwards' affair with Rielle Hunter and presents Elizabeth Edwards in a somewhat different and highly unflattering light. The book has also caused Harry Reid considerable heartburn.

Next up for Edwards on the bookshelves: The book by Andrew Young, his one-time aide who claimed for a while to have fathered Hunter's child.  Edwards, meanwhile, has fessed up to the affair with Hunter but has not, as yet, publicly acknowledged paternity of her baby.

Edwards has been spending his time lately building houses in El Salvador.

 

ABC News nabs interview with former Edwards aide

ABC News has nabbed an exclusive interview with former John Edwards aide Andrew Young.

According to the Associated Press, Young will discuss his new book, "The Politician," which is a tell-all documenting the affair between Edwards and Rielle Hunter. Young has alleged  that Edwards asked him to lie about being the father of Hunter's daughter, and that Edwards is actually the father of the child.

Bob Woodruff, who interviewed Edwards at his Chapel Hill home back in 2008, will conduct the interview with Young. In that 2008 interview, Edwards told Woodruff that it was not possible that he was the father of Hunter's child.

The interview is scheduled to air January 29 on "20/20." Young will also appear on "Good Morning America" on February 2.
