<p>Yesterday,<a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ben-silvermans-electus-launches-online-45403"> Electus launched an online-only morning show for AOL.</a> Called "AOL Daybreak," the show will be hosted by Lindsay Campbell, who already has a witty financial series under her belt with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallstrip">"Wallstrip."</a> So, Ben, does this fit into the whole mission of being a "next generation studio?"</p>
<p>"We are thrilled to partner with AOL on the <em>next generation</em> of morning news," Silverman said in a statement, confirming that suspicion. (Emphasis ours.)</p>
<p>It can hardly be a&nbsp;coincidence&nbsp;that "Daybreak" shares a name with the fictional morning show in the recently released Rachel McAdams film <em>Morning Glory.</em>&nbsp;How can you not ride the coattails of a flick that's so <a href="/2010/culture/hope-and-anchors-morning-glory-smartest-funniest-comedy-ive-seen-years?utm_medium=partial-text&amp;utm_campaign=home">smart, sharp, funny, and consistently entertaining?</a></p>
