LAURA LING TO HOST E! SHOW



E! has hired Laura Ling to host the hour-long series E! Investigates, which will begin airing on December 8th. Ling was famously detained with a Current TV colleague in North Korea last year.

The New York Times reports that the network -- home to hits such as Keeping Up With the Kardashians -- is trying to start covering the "serious side of pop culture."

The network has commissioned individual episodes of E! Investigates in the past, and Ling's series will explore such topics as teen suicide and the lives of military wives on the show.
