If you watch the mighty Opes on a semi-regular basis then you probably know who Nate Berkus is.

The vertically challenged interior designer from the Chigago area has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show many times since 2001, hosted Oprah’s Big Givea couple of years ago, and has his own show on Winfrey’s satellite radio channel.  Berkus also owns an interior design firm, and his own line of furniture and accessories.  If he weren’t so affable I’d really hate him.

Now add television show host  to that list.  Harpo and Sony Pictures Television plan to ready the Nate Berkus Show for an early fall 2010 launch.  This will be the second joint venture between Harpo and Sony, the first being the popular Dr. Oz Show that was launched earlier this year.

If America is turning into a nation of hypercondriacs, at least they’ll have fabulously decorated homes in which to think they’re sick in.

Berkus joins Oz, as well as Rachael (her mouth scares me) Ray and provincial gasbag Dr. Phil as Oprah “personalities” who’ve been tapped to have shows built around them through her production company.

If Berkus is still single (doubtful), his stock just went up even further in the community.
