Welcome back, Charlie!
Charlie on The Simpsons
Charlie Rose is finally back on the block, or more appropriately, back at the table and hosting his long running nighttime talk show. Now, I’m a big fan and have been since the very beginning (does anyone remember a little show on CBS called Nightwatch?). He is to me what Carson and Dick Cavett were to my mom. I fully admit he couldn’t touch those guys from a comedic angle but the variety of his guests and the quality of the conversation has always been top notch - heads of state, starlets, judges, and museum directors, even Carrie Fisher. Everyone wants to sit at the table with Charlie and chew the fat and I want to watch em! But this last month was rough. While Mr. Rose was sidelined and recovering from heart surgery I almost lost hope for the show. You’d think it would be simple - no-tech set, big oak table and two people talking for an hour. HA! Watching the cavalcade of guest hosts this last month while Rose was recuperating (or heaven help us, considering retirement…) was quite painful at times. Not everyone has the gift. So Charlie thanks for coming back!
