Yes, Meet the Press is at its best when it’s pre-empted by tennis, golf or bike racing.
Gregory is probably not the whole problem over here but he is part of it.
None of the Sunday shows have a good host.
Stephy, the very old dude, Gregory and our very own Chris Wallace ... none of them are good hosts.
A good host is a pleasant, likable person (see Pat Sajak). He asks penetrating questions but avoids partisanship and gotcha stuff. He actually listens to the replies.
I think Chris Wallace is ok, not the best, but ok.
I been reading rumors all week that Dick Gregory is OUT at Meet the Depressed.
Just reporting the rumors, as is my wont.
I tape all the shows every Sunday, but usually zip through MTP. Gregory is a partisan hack and their panel is an absolute joke.
There are rumors Gregory is on thin ice. I guess their ratings are the lowest they’ve ever been. Not surprised.
Even though he was a liberal, Tim Russert did a pretty good job of being a journalist first.
Actually, I’m watching Wimbledon this morning. Tight match so far!
