Connie Chung - Truthful Journalism & Reflecting on a Legendary Career with “Connie” | The Daily Show

[@closertogod1999]

He is so star struck it’s ADORABLE 🥰

[@amithorpe]

this is the comment I came looking for

[@squallymaelstrom5130]

I think if he'd relaxed a little, she'd have more to say. But yeah, this is a magic moment for Ronny. I'm 48 and I always felt trust with her. Decent...

[@WanderingExistence]

Ironically she's overcome so much sexism but then in her NPR Fresh Air interview she ends it by calling the female interviewer a "hottie". No joke. It's freely available 46min of the 48:45 interview. Unprofessional much?

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

It's adorkable.

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

@@squallymaelstrom5130 , he was trying to be funny. If he just stopped doing that, asked her serious questions and then shut up and listened, the interview would have been better, and we would have gotten much more information.

[@ShelbyBaby27]

I don't think I've ever seen Ronnie so flustered. Understandable and too cute 🤭

[@kassistwisted]

Watch his interview of Roselind Chao. Equally charmingly shy.

[@Ron-Ayres]

Like a little boy meeting his hero! So sweet. ❤

[@supergirl655]

I was in the audience today and I was impressed on how nice Connie was. She went to every staff member after the show and shook hands and thanked them. Very down to earth!

[@Resyektt]

That’s awesome, she realizes how much goes on behind the scenes to make a show happen. I haven’t been reading lately but maybe I’ll start back up with her book 😂

[@tktoadE]

Wow!

She dined at a restaurant I valeted at about a decade ago. She came outside and we chatted for a few minutes. Such a kind and wonderful woman.

[@babetteshaw]

Stellar human with exceptional talent. Great journalist.

[@ResistanceDragon]

Connie Chung is a legend! America needs her now!

[@phunchurchgirl]

Yes. We really do need to get back to raw fact-based journalism

[@Gouranga56]

I mean its a nice thought but these news shows are giving US what WE want. As a collective people don't want news anymore. They want a Jerry Springer type interview with the interviewer talking over the person they are interviewing. Americans want an echo chamber not an unbiased news piece. Unbiased news does not get ratings. People who are not outraged, furious, scared, etc they dont stay on the channel watching 24/7 or hit the sites. Connie would in fact be fired today for not being part of it.

[@traviscutler9912]

​@@phunchurchgirlpeople just believed the lies back then, that's the only difference.......

it’s so nice to see Ronnie so happy. He makes so many of us so happy and he’s so very smart.

[@ResistanceDragon]

He absolutely is & we are so lucky to have him!

[@templeH81]

He's my favorite Daily Show host. More Ronnie please!

[@sassenachdragon]

You KNOW that when her publicist approached the show about having her in to promote her book the producers were determined to save the interview until Ronnie was the weekly host…. Or maybe it’s likely they have a list of you do you want to interview and Ronnie had a long list of inspirational Asian people with Connie Chung’s name on the top…

[@kcbh24]

He's the worst.

[@angeluscorpius]

Ronnie fangirling for 16 minutes.! Just filling in the gap between important stuff. I think Mom, I mean Connie, handled him quite well.

[@JessicaLynYoung]

Connie Chung was the only Asian woman I had to look up to when I was growing up. Thank you Connie 🫶

[@b-dub6865]

24hr news is destroying media’s credibility. I never knew Connie was so funny & candid. I grew up watching her & Barbara & wanted to be like them. They’re intelligent, brave, sincere, compassionate, & honest. They’re badasses!

[@Christopher_Robert_Evans]

I think the 24hr news channels should have been a great opportunity to cover the news from all over the world. Yes, it will expensive and will require a lot of journalists, producers, editors etc. but we would be so much better informed about what is truly happening outside the bubbles we all live in and outside the countries we live in. In my opinion even a nightly 30 or 60 minutes news program should cover at least one major news event from all continents, all the ongoing wars & major conflicts, and all of the problems, and hopefully solutions, that impact major & influential countries and the entire world like climate change. We just need a wealthy corporation or a wealthy individual to fund such an operation to assemble a great group of journalists etc. who are willing to bring a 100% factual & informative news product to the public. I think HBO’s The Newsroom gave a glimpse of how a nightly news program like this could be. There are nowadays a few independent online news outlets like Zeteo who are trying to do this, albeit on a limited set of topics, so it is getting better. But corporate media is rarely doing this, mainly due to the profit motive being the major driver for how they cover the news and which news they cover, in my opinion.

[@wolfofthepride]

It's heartwarming how much Ronnie genuinely has reverence for her. I don't think about Asian-American reporters having it rough, particularly not after Full House's pandering. But she earned her place and a place for all people of Asian decent. Like Ronnie said, we don't know our history. I'm happy he does.

[@kimberlycornelius7911]

I love Connie Chung! She did do it ! She ruled !

[@lol365]

Connie is proof that representation matters. When I was a child she was the first Asian face I knew on television. She was the first in so many ways and it is so gratifying to see her receive her flowers. Truly, one of the greats.

I haven't seen Connie Chung for such a long time! She's part of my favorite 30 Rock line: "Let me tell you a story. It's 1994. I went ice climbing, and I fell into a crevasse. I hurt my leg, and I couldn't climb back up. So fighting every natural instinct, doing the thing that seemed most awful to me, I climbed down into the darkness. And that's how I got out. when I got back to base camp, I went and found my fellow climber, the one who had cut me loose after I fell. And I said, ''Connie Chung, you did the right thing.''" 😂
