After leveraging ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars”, Laila Ali has apparently parlayed her new gig at American Gladiators into an even newer gig at CBS as she continues to cross-network herself. According to Shelley Ross, senior executive producer of the “The Early Show” broadcast, “Laila has a unique skill set that I’ve come across in broadcast news.” He continues, “She has been a dedicated educator and author in areas of heath and fitness. She has a spiritual side, while being a fearless competitor. She’s a great addition to the The Early Show team.”

The appointment is effective immediately. Ali will report on health and fitness topics.
