I was sitting waiting for my chicken-in-green-peppers-in-black-bean-sauce at my local Chinese takeaway the other day, and there was an old magazine with an interview with David Furnish in it.
I flicked through. He said he was developing the above with Elvis. What d'you reckon? A kind of Jools Holland Later... for the USA?
Could be a good way to get Elvis into the mainstream - though as he's v fidgety and unrelaxed on chat shows, with guarded body language, I don't know how good he'd be at interviewing.

Hi Verbal,
I reckon it's got to be a Jools Holland style show - where people are serious about the music, not just a pop factory show with silly presenters desperate to hook the youth market. And no doubt our Elv would guest with the headliners every week on a duet!
What d'you reckon they could call it. I guess The Costello Show would be ideal. Or maybe The Elvis Costello Hour.
