It doesn't matter what he's trying to be. CNN gave him their prime spot and he has to deliver prime ratings. In order to do that he needs big name guests and the only time they are available is when they have something to sell. There are examples over the years, Tom Snyder on TV and Larry King on radio, of hosts who could have on unknown guests and bring out what was interesting about them. A 9 PM show isn't the platform for that. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
