Best ‘ Six’ ever: Post’s iconic gossip column now on ‘TV’

IT’S standard practice for TV types to read celebrity news off a TV monitor — which is something you won’t see on “Page

Six TV,” the nationally syndicated gossip show launching Monday (7 p.m. on WNYW/Ch. 5) with Carlos Greer, Bevy Smith, Elizabeth Wagmeister and host John Fugelsang.

“These are insiders,” says Vivi Zigler, president of digital, brand & audience development for series producer Endemol Shine North America. “We have two working reporters — Elizabeth [from Variety] and Carlos [The Post’s Page Six] — and Bevy is one of the most connected people I’ve ever met. John is also incredibly connected. This is very different from talking heads looking at a camera — these are insiders taking you inside the story.

“They’re people who know what the story is about and they’re able to bring you great, juicy gossip you won’t see on other shows because they’re ‘inside the rope,’ ” Zigler says. “They’re funny people who don’t take any of this seriously — it’s all about having fun with bigger-than-life personalities.”

“Page Six TV” will also feature Emily Smith — editor of The Post’s iconic Page Six gossip column — and deputy editor Ian Mohr. They’ll provide updates, insights and exclusive “firstlooks” into the breaking stories that are the column’s trademark.

“This is the Page Six brand; we’ll have the entire newsroom of The Post and Page Six and Pagesix.com and those assets breaking stories back and forth,” Zigler says. “In talking to TV stations [airing the show] around the country, they said this is so valuable because Page Six is already a brand ... if you care about celebrities, you know what Page Six is.”

The show was originally launched in the summer of 2016 as a three-week tryout — and that, too, increased “Page Six TV’s” awareness going into Monday’s national premiere. “Where a lot of shows are marketing and promoting shows they intend to make, we have the show we made already,” Zigler says. “We were able to experiment and try lots of different things and throw out [elements] that didn’t work so well.

“The [summer] preview also gave us cast chemistry,” she says. “If you think of shows in general, the cast needs time to gel, and over time they start to get each other’s rhythms, cadences ... we’ve been through that and [the cast] knows each other very well. It’s a wonderful plus to have.”

Zigler says “Page Six TV” will occasionally feature a “Page Six Plus One,” a “very funny” celebrity from film, TV, the online world or music. “We’ll bring them on the set with us so they can give their opinions and humorous take on the hot-gossip side,” she says. “We haven’t announced anyone yet, but it’s in the works.”
