“I was torn when Chris moved from two exceedingly informative and enjoyable weekend shows to a nightly news spot. On one hand I get to enjoy his superb interviews every night, but one of the best television shows ever “Up” would no longer be available.
The depth of that show was amazing, and the two hours very early on a weekend allowed the discussions to be more relaxed and gave a lot of time to getting under the surface.
Alas, his moving to a nightly newsy show has lost most of this erudition, and the ever-ticking clock of commercial television is always driving the agenda...many times interrupting conversation very awkwardly.
I know career wise the nightly show is better for Chris and he slots in nicely in the lineup. But still.
Maybe this podcast will be a sufficient substitute though. No commercials, no particular time limit. I encourage Chris to reinstate sometimes the round table discussions that were the centerpiece of “Up”.
And bring back the donuts.”
