Ventura said, in confirming his book deal and discussing other entertainment options. Ventura was required to take a leave from his talk-radio show during the campaign. This is my main job, rest assured of that,'' he added.
Governor comes first.
Minnesota has never had to deal with a governor-elect who is also a hot concept in Los Angeles, but Ventura is not like any of his predecessors. His most mundane movements have been shadowed by national news crews since his election. He has done the rounds of the network political talk shows, was a big hit on Jay Leno two weeks ago and is the subject of movie rumors in the entertainment trades. Ventura said Tuesday, when asked what his rules will be when evaluating offers from the coasts. He added that he views his current entertainment options as a continuation of a long career that included numerous movie roles in the 1980s and 1990s, including while he was mayor of Brooklyn Park.
