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.

| NYT TV critic Alessandra Stanley: Inexperienced Chelsea's stiffness "actually gave her piece a more natural feel — like a video blog on Current TV." |





What does it feel like to be born into Royality? Mirror mirror on the wall, whose the most deserving of them all.?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call those Clintons royalty.
ReplyDeleteI understand now why they kept this offspring out of camera range.
But now the cat is out of the bag. A big zero.
She's getting the same reception as th Daughter of Camelot, Caroline Kennedy got when she thought she was entitled to a NY Senate seat.

Next to Amy Carter, she's Mariah Carey.
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect analogy!!! Simpy perfect.
ReplyDeleteMakes Peter Doocey look like Walter Cronkite
ReplyDeleteRoyalty?
ReplyDeleteOne generation up from an Arkansas double wide.
This just in - Sasha Obama, cub reporter for Al Sharptongue.
ReplyDeleteCould be worse - she could be on Wall Street
ReplyDeleteDoes Brian Williams have to bow to her too?
ReplyDeleteChelsea is a 2 bagger.
ReplyDeleteWell-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.
ReplyDeleteI 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) ...
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the in studio thing, either, Bob. I would've had an attack of acid reflux...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your headline is how she got the name. Bill and Hill named their daughter after the Judy Collins hit.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
