Christmas comes months early for Chris Isaak fans (and we are legion) —Bio premieres his new talk show, “The Chris Isaak Hour,” next Thursday. And if you’ve ever seen him in interviews with Conan O’Brien or Jay Leno or just anybody, you know he’s perfect – funny, sardonic, charming and a flirt (Having met him several times and interviewed him once, I can attest to his charms.)

And those charms aren’t just confined to his lazy smile. Isaak’s got one of the most gorgeous rock crooner voices ever, and his band, Silvertone, is a tight, lean shtick machine. They’re going to be jamming with everyone from Glen Campbell to Stevie Nicks. I can’t wait!
