Fox’s “Talkshow With Spike Feresten” will begin airing weeknights at 11 p.m. for a six-week trial run beginning Jan. 17, Broadcasting & Cable reports. The show will increase in length from 30 minutes to an hour. Fox wants to know if “Talkshow” has the goods to compete against the likes of Letterman and Leno. “We’re making a concerted effort to kick Spike to the next level,” says Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly.
