Rod Blagojevich will appear on NBC’s ‘Today’ show Thursday morning, according to the PR firm that represents the former Illinois governor.
This is his first interview since a federal judge denied Blagojevich’s request to travel to Costa Rica for the upcoming NBC reality show ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’ that begins in June, says Glenn Selig, the former governor’s spokesman and founder of The Publicity Agency.
Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich delivered a suprise during an appearance this morning on NBC’s ‘Today’ show by announcing he would be heading to L.A. to promote the upcoming reality program ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.’
Earlier this week, a federal judge in Chicago said he would not alter the former governor’s bond allowing him to travel to Costa Rica to participate in the show.
“He’s mindful and respectful of the court’s ruling that he can’t leave the country but we’re still exploring ways for him to be part of the show,” says Glenn Selig, Blagojevich’s publicist and founder of the PR firm, The Publicity Agency. “He wants to be supportive of the program.”
Selig declined to elaborate on the options being explored.
The former governor will attend a press event for NBC this Friday, April 24.
Blagojevich had hoped to earn a salary for appearing on the program that airs in June, in addition to raising money for his favorite charity.

G-Rod in California and he's gone Hollywood. I saw him doing the spot for that show and he's all about being a celebrity as he smile and signed his name for his fans. I told everyone G-Rod would end up in Sin City or Hollywood/Vine. He'll be looking to get some movie spots nice. What out Denzel, Russell, Olando here come G-Rod and he's breaking hearts along the way. Look out here in Hollywood you see everything and anything goes so G-Rod is in good company. He's an entertainer at heart and of course he needs the money. Maybe we can send the Terminator to Chicago but he'll be cold with no underwear on.
He is a lawyer, can't he teach law, or work doing research for a law firm? It's time to sell the big home, both he and his wife need to quit going for the big and fast money and live like most of this country. They need to get regular jobs, go to them eveyday and live within their new means.
George Ryan now convict, and ex Gov made plenty of money as a Pharmacist, then a Secretary of State, then Gov, he had enough means to support himself and wife, better than most in this State, greed took over, and now he's in jail
