What's with NBC's Brian Williams and his obsession with men? Here he is on Monday's Rock Center premiere violating the physical boundaries of LIVE! guest Jon Stewart. Williams runs his hand over the skin between Stewart's short socks and pant leg, oozing "This I like." Stewart pushes away Brian's hand. EW: "His only squirm-inducing yuk of the night." This after Williams suggested Stewart has a "man crush" on dashing NBC war correspondent Richard Engel: “I saw you in the green room with [Engel]. You got your man crush on.”
An awkward Williams goes to break. We're back and the molested Stewart mocks Brian's OTC socks: "Brian Williams apparently needs vascular support." Retorts Brian: "My vascular health is fantastic." I wished Stewart would've asked 2011 Vanity Fair International Best-Dressed list Hall of Famer Brian if he buys his socks where bespoke MSNBC The Last Word host Lawrence O'Donnell buys his. At $80 a pair.
Reviews:
Hank Stuever Wash Post: The result was assured, quick-paced and enjoyably flavored with a few spicy dashes of Brian Williams’s dry rub. It’s no secret that there’s more to him than meets the eye — a new-fangled old-fogeyness that might possibly conceal the funniest man on the planet, had he not been trapped in the horrifying guise of an anchorman. . . . “Rock Center” aimed to be casual yet serious, quick but thorough, genuine but cheeky."
Stuever's "assured, brisk, tad sarcastic" only appears in the WP story link.
THR: Is Rock Center just a Daily Show for aging Daily Show viewers?

How well does Brian know Anderson Cooper?
ReplyDeleteAnd if they co-anchored, who'd be able to see the footsie-playing behind the desk?
Brian you are one of the most influential pepole on television. You reported a story tonight about 1 in 2 americans being poor. When are you going to take a stand and say something to the priviledged. You can do something. Why don't you. Don't give me the crap that your a reporter. If that's all our are then you failed. You need to be more tthan that. Do something.
