THIS WEEK ON THE SUNDAY CHAT SHOWS

First, a couple of Sunday news interview shows may be rescheduled or preempted in a number of areas this weekend, as ABC will be broadcasting selected World Cup matches and NBC is airing the French Open tennis tournament. Check your local listings for the times that This Week with George Stephanopoulos and Meet The Press will air for the next couple of weeks.

Of course, the "elimination" of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq this week will obviously be THE primary topic of discussion on many, if not all of the Sunday talk shows
