Risky. If they must try this revival, it should be with all new people. Preferable new people a few decades younger than the original group. No one can bring that same show back. The host was unique and charismatic. Another past favorite was Louis Rukeyser; “Wall $t. Week with Louis R.”.
They were men of their time. Both were gentlemen, as far as I know. Lou put the ‘fun’ in financial discussions.
I am sure they will bring in new people on occasion. What I liked most was that John ran it at a nice clip and I always felt as though my intelligence was being respected. Unlike the other shows on Sunday morning.
Yes. Younger people.
“Another past favorite was Louis Rukeyser; “Wall $t. Week with Louis R.”.”
I find Consuelo Mack’s syndicated “Wealthtrack” television show to be the closest financial show to “Wall $treet Week”. Like Rukeyser she interviews many of the movers and shakers in the financial and investment community. Here’s a link to a list of stations that carry her show and the times it airs.

In addition, she has a YouTube channel where the shows appear a few days after they run so you can watch at your leisure:
