"You thought you'd seen the last of me," you can practically hear Barbara Walters murmuring with the announcement that the pioneering news journalist is coming out of retirement to host a new crime series on Investigation Discovery.

The new series, titled American Scandal, will look back on "some of the most compelling stories she has covered in her career, taking viewers inside scandalous stories that captured the public's attention" including Jean Harris, Jim Bakker, Mark David Chapman and others.

We reached out to Star Jones for a quote and got only this:

In other casting news for the network, Wendy Williams is set to debut her new series Death by Gossip With Wendy Williams, serving as both host and executive produce.

"Offices, gyms and nosey neighborhoods all make for great rumor mills, until dishing the dirt ends with a deadly offense," a show description for Death by Gossip reads.

These shows join Investigation Discovery's fall roster of new programming that includes Swipe Right, 3 Bad Dates, 1 Soul Mate and Married by Mom and Dad.
