'Siegfried & Roy' plan to promote lion show

Almost six months after a white tiger mauled illusionist Roy Horn of "Siegfried & Roy," forcing the long running stage show to close, the two say they will soon be back in the entertainment business.

The duo will promote the NBC animated series, "Father of the Pride," about a family of white lions who work as performers in their show, officials said.

"It's the beginning of a new era for Siegfried & Roy," said Bernie Yuman, manager for Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher, whose Las Vegas show made them entertainment icons.

Yuman and NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks confirmed Friday that Fischbacher and Horn have agreed with DreamWorks head Jeffrey Katzenberg to promote the animated series to debut this fall.
