I just watched Christiane Amampour shut down George Will on This Week

[Windy]

it was a thing of beauty.

1. Which program?

We on the left coast need to knw.

[babylonsister]

2. 'This Week (ABC)'-she's the new talking head. nt

[OffWithTheirHeads]

4. Thanks. On in 6 min here.

[Crystal Clarity]

3. I saw that too

Pretty cool. :-)

Stuiped question though: Who took over for G. Stephanopoulis prior to Amampour? I'm drawing a blank. Does anyone know; or was there no official new host until her?

5. Jake Tapper was filling in

I thought he was pretty good..much better than David Gregory. The podcasts for this show, meet the press, and Olbermann, Rachel and Morning Joe are available if you miss any episodes.

7. Thanks dfk

I've missed quite a few. Will have to check them out.

9. I'd take Amampour any day over David Gregory...

Besides, the only thing George Will ever said worth listening to was when he did a book on baseball. Otherwise, he's an over-rated bore with a bad rug and botox.

6. Jake Tapper, I think.

Believe he is a Washington correspondent for ABC. Merely a chair-warmer.

8. Thanks! nt.

10. They don't often put capable people on with George

Will so it's good he had to match wits with Amanpour.

It sounds like he wasn't up to it.

11. Her first show was today..very good...

..actual journalism on display..

[Kurovski]

12. Kick

CM could make this her show for a long time to come.

She's brilliant, quick, and a deep thinker.

[bahrbearian]

13. It looked like nobody wanted to sit next to George, everybody sat 6 ft away

He must really stink.

[old mark]

14. This was her first show - I hope she is on for many years to come...

one of the few on TV with a brain.

15. Do you have a link? I looked at one video over at the abc site and only saw

the piece on Afghanistan which was quite tame...

Which discussion was the incident on?

[Cleita]

16. I'm happy to see her back on the air after CNN

pretty much kicked her under the bus all these years. She's a very good reporter, even though she's not as left as say KO or Rachel.

[Enthusiast]

17. I would love a link for that. nt

[Vinca]

18. I've always had a ton of respect for her. Didn't watch though.

It was a beautiful day and I spent it in the garden. Didn't even take a radio with me. It was a wonderful head/weed clearing.
