The election may be over, but the Sunday talk shows must go on.

CBS’ “Face the Nation” scores the first mega-get of the Obama era, landing the first interview with Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) since Barack Obama named him his White House chief of staff.

Will the congressman offer any clues as to who else will be joining the new administration?

Politico’s John F. Harris and New York Times columnist David Brooks also offer their thoughts on the new administration.

With all eyes now on Obama’s transition, NBC’s “Meet the Press” leads with Valerie Jarrett, co-chair of Obama’s transition team.

Will she offer any hints on Cabinet posts?

Also, House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) discuss the incoming Congress.

Finally, moderator Tom Brokaw looks back at Tuesday’s historic election with presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, Newsweek’s Jon Meacham and Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell.

CNN’s “Late Edition” features interviews with two major players – Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).

Speculation has been running rampant over the fate of independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. But will Reid offer any pronouncements Sunday?

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair rounds out the CNN lineup, offering his thoughts on Obama’s ascendancy.

“Fox News Sunday” looks at the future of the GOP following another devastating election cycle, with interviews with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), poised to become House minority whip, and Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), who looks set to take over as chairman of the House Republican Conference.

On ABC, “This Week” also looks back at a momentous week in a roundtable discussion with ABC’s George Will, Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Cynthia Tucker, Newsweek’s Fareed Zakaria and former White House adviser David Gergen.

On Bloomberg TV, “Political Capital” host Al Hunt interviews former Clinton presidential adviser and civil rights pioneer Vernon Jordan.

And C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” scores a big get, too, landing the current White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten to discuss the transition of power.
