She's okay as a guest. As a host? Tedious. She's got a voice like a rusty door and talks so fast she seems to be racing the clock instead of conducting an interview.
Don Lemon is better, but that's not saying much. He spends way too much time mugging instead of just hosting. There's an arrogance to him that seems born of insecurity, like he has to keep reminding us he has his own show. It was worse before they booted Cuomo off CNN, which is interesting because after their nightly love fests, now it's like Cuomo never existed.
The thing is, I agree with many of the positions taken on the show. But it can painful to watch and listen to. It doesn't help they show the same commercials over and over at the breaks.

OMG, just when I didn't think it could get worse. Alisyn Camerota was always pretty vapid, like too airheaded even for Good Morning America, but her hosting the show has caused it to drop even more IQ points.
Case in point, Ron Brownstein, Charlie Dent, and Molly Jong-Fast, in a surprisingly diversity-free panel in 2022, get asked about an NYC professor being fired for "being too tough." Two of these three geniuses say they don't know enough about the topic before yammering on anyway, mostly talking about college students as customers. What? If you don't know anything about the topic, why are you even there? Then, Camerota, in her weird, stoopy, curled lip way wants to talk about some awful trash show called White Lotus. What is this, People Magazine?
No wonder the ratings are in the toilet. They're going to keep disappearing.
