Fran Drescher will try her hand at talk, starting with a three-week preview that will air on six Fox-owned television stations starting this November.

"I'm thrilled to be able to bring The Fran Drescher Tawk Show to daytime TV, which fits me hand in glove," said Drescher in a statement. "It will cover all of my passions, everything from pedicures to politics. America will have a chance to see the real Fran Drescher, beyond The Nanny. I'm the girl next door, a self-made woman who has been to hell and back a few times."

Fox's NYNW New York, KTTV Los Angeles, WTXF Philadelphia, KSAZ Phoenix, KMSP Minneapolis and WOFL Orlando all will strip the time in daytime throughout the test, which begins Friday, Nov. 26, the day after Thanksgiving. Fox Television Stations will co-produce the show with syndicator Debmar-Mercury.

"Fran is the perfect person to bring a new 'voice,' if you will, to daytime," said Frank Cicha, Fox TV Stations' senior vice president of programming. "The female audience knows her, likes her, and we expect the show to bring energy and freshness to these time periods."

"Fran is a natural, multi-faceted talent with an extraordinary life story who is perfect for daytime talk," said Debmar co-presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein. "We are thrilled to partner with Fox to create this launch pad for Fran into the talk show arena, in the hope of gaining a full national syndication rollout in the 2011-12 season."

Drescher first came to fame in the 1990s sitcom The Nanny, which aired for six years and then successfully made the jump to syndication. Drescher is both a rape and cancer survivor, which she wrote about in her book "Cancer Schmancer" in 2002.

Scott Sternberg and Peter Marc Jacobson will executive produce The Fran Drescher Show, along with Drescher. Lonnie Burstein, Debmar's executive vice president of programming and production, developed and will oversee the project for Debmar.

Debmar-Mercury also syndicates such shows as The Wendy Williams Show, Family Feud, E! True Hollywood Story, House of Payne and Meet the Browns.
