Shriver back on camera for NBC
After her husband was elected governor of California, Maria Shriver quit her job as a journalist with NBC News. But she left open the possibility of continuing to work for other divisions of the network, and now she’s doing just that.
Shriver will host a 90-minute NBC special that’s being produced on the entertainment side about Roy Horn, the animal trainer of Siegfried & Roy who was mauled by a 600-pound white tiger during a Las Vegas show last October.
For the record:

Siegfried & Roy -- Articles in various sections of The Times have been in conflict about the weight of the tiger that mauled illusionist Roy Horn on Oct. 3. Times reports have given its weight as 300, 550 and 600 pounds. Siegfried & Roy’s publicist and Las Vegas animal control officials said the tiger weighed about 380 pounds.
The program will feature Shriver interviewing Horn about his recovery, NBC Studios said. Bernie Yuman, Siegfried & Roy’s manager, is one of the program’s executive producers.
