Lunch Break Video: Connie Chung’s swan song

Connie Chung caused quite a stir when she decided to get glammed up to sing Thanks for the Memory when she and hubby Maury Povich signed off from their weekly MSNBC show for the last tine. I had not watched it – ever – until today.

It’s even worse than I thought!

That being said, I do miss Miss Chung on TV. At a time when Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric have ascended to the network newscast anchor seat, it’s worth pointing out that Connie had done so in the mid-90s when she was paired with Dan Rather.

She started with CBS News in her 20s covering Watergate, was a superstar anchor in LA in the late 70s and early 80s before moving to NBC then CBS then ABC then CNN before a year on MSNBC.

I hope she does something else soon because I miss seeing her!
