In addition, on his run of the celebrity gambit, Costello will be hosting music-oriented talk show on the Sundance Channel titled Spectacle: Elvis Costello With… So far, the ellipsis is filled in with a range of exciting guests including indie-shmindies She & Him, Jenny Lewis and Rufus Wainwright, oldie but goodies Smokey Robinson, The Police, and Elton John (who happens to be the show’s executive producer), forefathers of cool Lou Reed and Herbie Hancock, mom’s favorites such as Tony Bennett and James Taylor, and Bill Clinton (sax, anyone?)!
