i do remember 18 years ago, there were other hollywood figures that ran, like gary coleman. i guess katelyn jekatelyn jekata a little bit about that, but still doesn't come to the level of i think arnold schwarzenegger, in terms of a huge impact on the race for her to run. >> so you are not getting on board with that yet? >> no, i don't think so. >> 2003, we will air a clip of the documentary tonight at 4:00. the clip we will show is what a circus it was with the star, gary coleman, 135 candidates i believe rob described it as a zoo, why do you think that was? you think we are going to see a repeat of that? citizens and candidates throwing their hand to the ring? >> room number, that was before social media. now we have all these people in social media who are, you know, have a new claim to fame. this is nothing but good publicity for them. a couple thousand bucks, you could get your name on the ballot and suddenly be a candidate for governor. i would not be surprised to see upwards of 400 more candidates this time around. it is going to be, as you say, throwing a hat enteri

as you may recall in 2003, ken, there were more than 100 candidates on that ballot, including gary coleman and arnold schwarzenegger. >> long list, won't be so long this time. andrea nakano reporting live, thanks. >>> the campaign served mayor dominic foppoli with a notice of intent today. organizers have 120 days to collect signatures from 20% of registered voters to prompt a recall election. there is no word tonight from the mayor. at least six women have accused foppoli of sexual assault. he has denied the allegations. >>> tomorrow we're expecting to hear from the family of a man who died in alameda police custody about the body cam video that they were shown today. the department has said that 26-year-old mario gonzalez suffered a medical emergency, their words, last monday during a scuffle with officers who were trying to arrest him on suspicion of theft. they did not elaborate, and his family says the young father was perfectly healthy. this weekend student protesters marched to alameda police headquarters demanding to see the footage. and that's where gonzalez's family has said that

there were more than a 100 people on the ballot, including sort of, you know, nuisance candidates gary colemanyou know, schwarzenegger did pretty well. he got in the high 40's i think on that boat and one that you can when you can become the next governor with quite a minority vote share because of the way it's just sort of a free for all in that second question. >> dawn of the new son team might be more concerned about the fact that a viable democratic candidate could step in. how much of a problem might that be. >> yeah, that's exactly right. if i were honestly if i were a republican strategist here, i would be trying to find a credible democratic alternative to newsome. i don't think that's likely to happen i california so overwhelmingly democratic, i think newsome is so far it seems to be weathering this threat pretty well and it would be political suicide for someone's career to run against him at this point. so, you know, maybe we find somebody who's willing to take that risk but that seems pretty unlikely that anybody credible would challenge someone who is likely to survive so far and
