The Bad Sport

WASHINGTON, D.C. – If you ever were curious what Wolf Blitzer would look like fist pumping, wonder no more.

The CNN host is heading to The Jersey Shore.

Wolfie B. is ready for some GTL.

In an effort to boost ratings and cross promote programming, Time Warner reached a deal with Viacom late Sunday to send Blitzer to the MTV hit show’s beach house for its already-in-production third season in exchange for Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino. The ab-tastic reality star will take over hosting duties for Blizer on, not surprisingly, The Situation Room.

“Yes, we want to improve our shows, but this is about far more than that,” insisted a CNN spokesman in a statement. “This is about giving Wolf a chance to live out a dream.”

"The Situation" will have to hide his abs on his new program.

Blitzer, 62, said the chance to party with The Jersey Shore cast is an opportunity to “let loose for once in my life.”

“I wear a fuckin’ tie every day of the year,” said Blitzer, who has held hosting duties at CNN for 20 years. “And I agreed in my contract to never shave my beard. Now everything changes, and I can finally become Wolfie B.”

Sorrentino, meanwhile, is excited to cover world issues he knows well on the local level.

“We got grenades, man,” the 27-year-old said. “And land mines. And this shit be all ovah the world. International grenades, man. And worldwide land mines.”

As for reports that Jeanne Moos and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi will switch places, CNN and MTV each had no comment.
