Connie Chung Has Lost Her Mind

June 19, 2006 Media 56 Comments

There are no words to describe the farewell spectacle Connie Chung treated the tens of viewers of her canceled MSNBC show ‘Weekends with Maury and Connie’ last weekend. Fortunately the debacle put on YouTube by the folks at Gawker.

Wow…

    THEN I said “I’d better not put that comment up – it would ruin my homeschool mom image.”

    and NOW I’ve gone and done it anyhow.

    Being on MSNBC she probably figured only 50 or 100 people would see it. Guess Algore shoud’ve clued her in on that whole internet thing he invented.

    Pathetic …pathetic …did I say pathetic?

    Years ago, when this ‘thing’ was one CNN I thought, do you mean to say that nowhere in the U.S. are there more capable people of (a) journalism, (b) reading the news, (c) hosting a show?

    Now of course, cable and the traditional networks are flooded with thise sort of pathetic self-impressed no-talent.

    At least this one has, through divine intervention, allowed the world to see what she is made of.

    Well, at least we know who would play Lili Von Shtupp in a remake of Blazing Saddles.

    I hope this is an indication or preview of more to come from the other so-called media celebrities, the wholesale collapse of their tired monopoly would be a benefit to Civilization.

    “All I want to be sure of is that viewers understood it was a giant self-parody,” Chung told The Associated Press Tuesday. “If anyone took it seriously, they really need to get a life.”

    Connie Chung’s Serenade a Hit on the Web
    Wednesday June 21 8:05 AM ET

    Alongside viral videos of alcohol-drinking monkeys and balletic race cars, the newest Web sensation is a crooning Connie Chung.

    On the Saturday finale of MSNBC’s “Weekends with Maury & Connie,” Chung sang a version of Bob Hope’s old theme song “Thanks for the Memory” to her husband and co-host, Maury Povich. A clip of the performance complete with mood-setting candles and an accompanying grand piano is the most popular clip of the week on the video Web site YouTube.

    As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 413,000 people had viewed the video of Chung a rating that might have saved “Weekends with Maury & Connie,” from being canceled. The half-hour talk show, which featured the two discussing news events, averaged about 232,000 viewers since debuting Jan. 7.

    A rating that might have saved “Weekends with Maury & Connie,” from being canceled…

    Congratulations, you guys have help make her a star.

    Heh.

    My only fear is she will become so popular as a result of this that she will seek the Democratic nomination for President (squeezing past Hillary by a comfortable 22 percent margin), and that she will accept.

    pssst, this was predictable.
