Woke Up, It Was A Chelsea Morning

And the first thing that I knew 
NBC Special Correspondent Chelsea Clinton had made her Rock Center debut 
In three complete sentences, too. 

Chelsea utters only 28 words in three sentences with her "Making a Difference" heroine stuck to all my senses.


Hank Stuever Wash Post
New NBC show in January 2012
Update: Rock Center Monday Dec. 12 ratings up 22% from last week to 1.1 with a wee bit over 4 mil viewers. Swamped by CBS Hawaii Five-O's nearly 11 mil. TV by the Numbers
NYT TV critic Alessandra Stanley:  Inexperienced Chelsea's stiffness "actually gave her piece a more natural feel — like a video blog on Current TV."

  1. What does it feel like to be born into Royality?  Mirror mirror on the wall, whose the most deserving of them all.?

  2. I wouldn't call those Clintons royalty.
    I understand now why they kept this offspring out of camera range.
    But now the cat is out of the bag. A big zero.

  12. Well-put! Peter Doocy ain't no Luke Russert.  Young Doocy is horrible.  It's obvious he's got a producer putting words into his Chatty Cathy voicebox.

  13. I only saw the package, and not the studio in/out piece. All I gotta say is I was doing that style of reporting (but without "talent" like Chelsea ... I was a photog/field producer at the time) in a Top 60 Midwest market in the mid- to late-80's ... while I was still in college. Glad to see the networks finally embracing the SOT Full package (as we used to call them) ...

  14. I didn't see the in studio thing, either, Bob.  I would've had an attack of acid reflux...

  15. By the way, your headline is how she got the name.  Bill and Hill named their daughter after the Judy Collins hit.

  16. I actually knew that, Jim.  Loved Joni Mitchell.  Saw her at a coffee house in Detroit 1965 when she was still married to her husband, Chuck Mitchell.  They were known as Chuck and Joni Mitchell.  She lost one of her false eyelashes during her performance.
