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?

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!
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 😂
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.
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…
Mad respect for Connie Chung - hard working and honest like back in the day.A sweet light hearted interview. Just what I needed to help alleviate my Pre - Election Anxiety. Will deal with my Post - Election Anxiety if the time comes . Vote BLUE ALL THE WAY
Totally!!! She’s been a huge role model for me and I’m a Jew. She broke ground for women of minority. Seeing her is like running into a favorite babysitter decades later.

@@eugenekim9961 Retiring or becoming a grandparent shouldn't give you license to let your standards drop. It's something she probably should've kept to herself, really.
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!
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.
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.
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.
She is such a legend for all girls in my generation and the one before mine. There were so few women doing that level of groundbreaking work. I always thought she was so beautiful and intelligent and TOUGH. So glad you brought her on!!
Love & Hugs to Connie Chung from Alberta, Canada, what a beautiful soul🤗🙏That was a great interview Ronny C.👍👍👏👏love your sense of humor and the respect you showed for this beautiful lady❤
Dude, I’ve never seen him star struck like that!!! Pretty cool to see! Thank you Connie for being an inspiration to soo many girls and women to dream big!! And for not letting Mr. Rather get the better of you!!
I love Connie Chung! She was a formidable journalist and her investigative work and reporting was deeply appreciated. I really do hope true journalism returns as we need it so desperately. Also, she's just such a lovely person!
Oh come on we have more now than ever, so much talent to choose from, Wallace, Burnett, Larry O., Rachel, Melber, Hayes, even Tapper's stepped up recently! A plethora, a cornucopia! Top o' the list Amy Goodman!
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.''" 😂
I love Connie Chung! She is a huge leader for women journalist. She was always so professional! I want to read her book for sure! Great interview! Great job Ronnie!
Connie is so great. I love her personality and how she conducts herself. Doesn't take anything too seriously. I remember her very well watching the news with her. I'm 67 so I've seen quite a bit too. Thanks Connie. You're the best! 👌🌹
oh no... didn't you just watch the segment before this where Ronny talks about half of america not understanding how to use apostrophes?? ;-) { had to say it! but i agree with your sentiment. :-) }
I read the book - it's hard to put down! Even the stuff about her parents is totally interesting. She also spills some serious dirt on her celebrity friends lol...
Ironically she's overcome so much sexism- as you probably read in the book- 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.
While after such a long time in the anchor chair most would have an understanding of "media training;" but she wrote the book...Smart deflections, brought the conversation subtly back on course when Ronny got starstruck a couple times. Very wholesome
Saw her walking along Columbus Avenue back in the late 1980s, she was still a young woman then, she stood out, too. Most NYers leave the celebs alone, that's one cool thing about us.
I’ve never seen him So excited and smiling and happy!!! I loved it! Of course I love his humor anyway but how great was it to see his excitement and being fan struck! ❤❤❤😃
Wow, looks great! She is part of the soundtrack of my life as a kid. Every night my parents would watch her deliver the news. Hearing her voice is so comforting.

Watch his interview of Roselind Chao. Equally charmingly shy.

Poor Margaret Cho

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

She's awesome and still has that million dollar smile.
I love Connie Chung! She did do it ! She ruled !
The Connie and Ronnie show. Make it happen.
So go to see Ms Connie Chung, She was the voice of America for me for so long, it was a very different Time.
Ronnie truly geek'd up on this one
We love you Connie Chung!! We love you Ronny Chieng!! Lovely to enjoy your conversation. Thank you.
I couldn’t think of a more fitting guest and more fitting interviewer ❤
Connie opened the door for Asian women going into journalism
We got some rocker Asian girl top journalists currently. ❤❤
She got the Black girls active and ready too!!!

No shade, Ronnie. I'd fangirl over Connie Chung, too.
"These are mostly Americans. They don't learn their history." Truth.
I loved her as a kid. Thought she was the prettiest anchor on tv.
She's still glorious ❤
The more I watch Ronnie Chieng, the funnier he seems to get. Loved this interview.
I agree with you
Agree! Had the exact same thinking the last few days.
Stay outta my head- I was feeling the exact same thing too..
Connie’s Chung I remember her back in 80s she’s one of the best journalist.💙💙💙💙
Nice to see a classic woman of class!!
I'm European and honoured to meet her for the first time.
