Oprah Joins '60 Minutes' Room for Tamron Hall Too?

Television


Last week's news that Oprah would be joining CBS' venerable "60 Minutes", as a special contributor, came roughly at the same time Tamron Hall was leaving NBC.

Tamron Hall Out At NBC and MSNBC

Oprah, who is known for her incisive interviewing skills, will definitely add a much needed punch and vitality to the long-running show. Oprah's contribution to 60 Minutes may also bring viewers who hadn't followed Oprah to her cable network OWN.

However, the shock of Hall leaving NBC made TCC think, why wasn't Hall going to 60 Minutes? Clearly, Hall has a news background and has conducted hard-hitting interviews on "MSNBC Live with Tamron Hall".  Perhaps Hall isn't interested in doing another news program and wants to try something completely different. As a Vanity Fair piece indicated, "she was very excited about her next chapter." TCC hopes this talented journalist lands somewhere soon.

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
