Your show is at the bottom of a cable network with lousy ratings. So what to do? Take the show that few watch out of the studio, put it on the road, and cross your fingers hoping that the format change will miraculously improve the ratings.
That is what is happening with the failed Ronan Farrow Daily (Dully) show on MSNBC. A show with such horrible ratings that TVNewser announced it was watched one Monday last December by only 13,000 people in the 25 to 54 demo during its time slot or less than a sixth of a typical football stadium. Improving Farrow's performance doesn't seem to be an option so according to Brian Steinberg at Variety, MSNBC wants to take those lousy interviewing skills out of the studio and onto the road:

“It’s about diving in deep,” says Farrow during a recent interview while reporting in Paris. His goal is to travel to places where big stories erupt... Basically, it's about getting to travel as much as possible on MSNBC's dime before they cut him off.

Maybe Farrow should start wearing green lipstick and take a bath in a bowl of Fruit Loops.
President Obama was asked about his 'first wife' in a PR-disaster interview on Thursday after picking three of the most popular YouTube content creators to interview him. GloZell Green, a popular YouTube fixture known for her extreme acts like eating a ladle full of cinnamon, offered the president three samples of her trademark green lipstick as gifts for his daughters – and for the woman she called Obama's 'first wife.'

He really enjoys “finding the human piece to tell the bigger story and push forward the narrative,” he says. It sounds like he might be a serial killer.
As opposed to that crazy woman in the photos above, who is apparently a cereal killer.
