Connie Chung — the former ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN anchor — has dished in a revealing new interview on behind-the-scenes tensions with colleagues including Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters and Dan Rather, as well as her seemingly flirtatious relationship with David Letterman, and how she ruffled Hugh Grant’s feathers during her cameo in the recent HBO hit “The Undoing.”

On Andrew Goldman’s “The Originals” podcast for Los Angeles Magazine, Chung said that working with Rather at CBS was like a scene out of “Psycho,” while her treatment at ABC working with Walters and Sawyer was “not unlike what Tonya Harding did to Nancy Kerrigan.” She also said of Letterman, “Off the air, he’s dark,” and recalled how she got the “evil eye” from the director of “The Undoing,” Susanne Bier.

Thought she was dead.

‘She also said of Letterman, “Off the air, he’s dark,”’

ON the air, he was dark, particularly the last decade or so his CBS show. On the old NBC show, he was something of a light-hearted goofball. But he gradually morphed into a grumpy old creep.

Thought she was dead.

Still alive, and AFAIK still married to Maury Povich.

“Who in their right mind would want to work with those losers.”

Another loser.

“On the old NBC show, he was something of a light-hearted goofball.”

Back in the 80’s, his show was hysterical. That had some incredibly funny stuff on.

I recall one show where he had Charlie Daniels on. Off to the side of Daniel’s seat was a spittoon. Paul Shafer asked about it and Daniels offered chew to Letterman and the guys in the band. Most of them tried it. It was gut rippingly funny. A couple of the guys in the band looked like they were turning green and about to throw up.

But yeah, about the last 10-15 years, he was unwatchable.

Is she ovulating?

Thought she was dead.

Alive, but probably is no longer ovulating (Rush Limbuagh reference)
I used to see her back on either WNBC on WABC local news in NYC.

[Dr. Sivana]

Is she ovulating?

You beat me with the reference. IRush stopped mentioning that at the personal request of Maury Povich. Similarly, Andy Williams asked Rush to NOT use his rendition of "Born Free", and Rush complied.

And she waits not to call them out.

All it takes for this evil to continue is to allow it happen around you.

I am not blaming her, but to come out now is a little disingenuous.

Mudslinging between the Marxist State Media pimps and whores .... the new social justice meme?

[Orosius]

Letterman was always a grumpy old creep, even when he was young.

But he gradually morphed into a grumpy old creep.

Oh, he morphed into Cray Cray, CrabApple BiteMe Biden

Connie also talked about her popular son Wang, tonight.

Connie Chung has to come out with this interview now before television ratings drop any further.

How many people would listen to an interview about inside gossip in radio? in vaudeville?

I call: “chicom spy!”
