CNN Should Stop Ditching Strombo For Anderson Cooper

The best interviewer on television today is hands down and without a doubt George Stombo........and unfortunately for the viewers CNN keeps ditching him for Anderson Cooper.  

Yes, Anderson is great and he recently did a brilliant and inspirational interview with Antoinette Tuff, but after seeing it three times I was ready for George and had planned my evening around his show with Lisa Kudrow.  

It would be nice if they would stop ditching George for Anderson Cooper--if they want to show AC360 24/7 then let them throw out someone else for George once in a while.  Thy've got to shift their focus from Anderson now and then--or make the AC channel and then another channel for the rest of us with Anderson only on once a day like all of the other shows.  Please--he is not the only game in town.  

If the reader does not agree I suggest watching George Strombo do an interview and then get back to me.  He seems genuinely interested and lets the guest talk...a lot.  Seriously, how rare is that in television today?  If its your favorite person...Larry King, Lisa, Tavis Smiley, Henry Winkler..the viewer will end up with interesting and useful info....right, the guest does not seem tired and worn out and rote, as often happens in these kind of things....okay that's my take what's yours?  

I dare you to watch him and think differently.  CNN needs to find their head and put it on regarding this one.  Love you CNN but......its time for a good ADD med...calm down and stick to a schedule.

PS--Antoinette Tuff is absolutely a hero and should be praised by everyone--we all can learn something from her.  She is a beautiful example and I do not want to diminish her life saving of students and accomplishments in any way--but enough of Anderson, already.

That's Messed Up...CNN Nixes Strombo Again!

Looking forward to watching Strombo Friday night on CNN with everyone's favorite Lisa Kudrow, but no.....CNN nixes Strombo again for reruns of AC and Piers Morgan....now those are good shows but they are reruns.....AC for the 3rd time!!!  When will CNN come to their senses and leave a good new show alone?

CNN's Strombo is Brilliant: The Watcher is the Winner

It has to be said.....

CNN's George Strombo is the best interviewer on television today.  He's good, as in amazing and brilliant and the show format is good, too.

The result:  plenty of information--sometimes inspirational information.

The people on his show, the guests seem to have a gusto--a zip in their conversation that one just does not see that often on television today.  Frankly, is is not only refreshing but really enjoyable.

George gives the viewer the feeling he is actually excited to hear what the guest has to say--I feel like he is genuine.  Strombo has the rare gift and foresight to not make the show about himself--the television watcher is the winner.

As a constant news watcher and radio listener I am personally really glad CNN put this show back on the air.  I look forward to watching it every Friday night, now, if I am familiar with the guest or not--and I'll tell you what--I have enjoyed it every single time and I have learned a lot, too.

The exciting news tonight--Tavis Smiley will be starting a radio talk show........

I can always find a new take on things after Tavis talks.  In his early years he was inspired to try to help people and make a statement after his dear friend was killed--shot in the back 21 times in self-defense by the police.  He also shared how he tried very hard to put Harrison Ford at ease when he could see that he was really stressed about his impending interview.  Tavis and George love radio talk shows and I do, too.  I can't wait to hear your new show, Tavis.

Kevin Smith gave a very moving interview talking about his parents and his family that he loves very much. He has so much to say it is easy to see how he can show emotions and make movies.  He talked about following his dreams and he inspired me to try and do the same thing, as well.

Maria Bello shared her story about starting out in an acting career and almost giving up at one point.  Now she feels so grateful that she has achieved success in her career she wants to do something good with her notoriety by helping women in Haiti.

Thank you George--good job, as usual--I really like your show.

(why is this show good?  one gets the impression the truth is being told...the truth is always energizing)
