No ...tell me this isn't true..He's NOT hosting his OWN farewell tribute ? No way ..Oh man ..this guy is beyond OBNOXIOUS
CBS is ingenious. They know that ordinarily nobody would touch a stupid Dan Rather farewell tribute with a 10-foot pole if it involves Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, et. al. fawning over him (and they couldn't get anybody to show up anyway; they're all out of town on "assignment"). Even if the TV viewers showed up, they'd be switching over to Super Nanny or Extreme Makeover Home Edition in about 5 seconds. But people will tune into this because it is too damn funny seeing Dan blowing his own horn. CBS knows people will tune into Dan doing his final crash-and-burn like a stunt man who doesn't know when to retire. The CBS brass gets to experience the pleasure that comes from Dan making a fool of himself because his ego is a monkey on his back the size of King Kong (gotta feed the monkey). It's all about the ratings. What could go wrong? LOL.
