Connie Sings the Blues
Thanks to the good folks at youTube.com, everyone can now see Connie Chung do a Michelle Pfeiffer impression from the movie the Fabulous Baker Boys.
Unsure myself what she was thinking, I wonder, not what Edward R. Murrow would say, but what Amanda Congdon from Rocketboom makes of Ms. Chung’s performance.
As I opined the other day, it is more Amanda not Dan that is driving the direction of news.
It is particularly interesting that Mr. Rather left with a press release, and Ms. Chung departed with a musical number in the same week. If you recall, they were once CBS co-anchors.
Perhaps it is a statement of the times that Ms. Chung felt a musical performance was the way to go. As the Daily Show demonstrates, news and entertainment continue to blend together. It is more often today's comedians that deliver the insightful observations about current events.
It should not be surprising to learn that more people have viewed her video on youTube than ever tuned into her Saturday morning show. Ahhh, the power of new media.
But perhaps I should just lighten up.
And that's way it is this Friday night. Let me get back to you.
