...talk shows, Cott hopes to feed them to the rest of the stations affiliated with the National Television Association (he has already sold Bishop Sheen to N.T.A.'s Minneapolis station). By next week Stripper Gypsy Rose Lee will be ready with a show: "Singing, dancing and lots of chitchat." And aging (59) Alex King, though his health is precarious, shows no signs of running down.
