As NewsBusters readers know, TV critics have not been impressed with Chelsea Clinton’s reporting skills at NBC.
This certainly won’t change after Friday’s Rock Center wherein the former presidential daughter actually interviewed – wait for it! – the GEICO gecko (video follows with transcript and commentary):
Chelsea Clinton Interviews...The GEICO Gecko
CHELSEA CLINTON: Getting pigeon-holed is a worry even for a gecko. So he was only too happy to answer our questions. Are you concerned about being typecast? GECKO: Well, I definitely don't get the hunky leading man roles. Although I could probably get the hunky leading gecko roles.
CLINTON: Have you always had that accent?
GECKO: Sorry, Chelsea, what accent?
CLINTON: After 15 years of selling insurance, this commercial star is looking to branch out.
GECKO: I'm out on the road promoting my new book "You're Only Human." Shameless plug there.
CLINTON: Is there a down side to all this fame?
GECKO: Well, it seems the more famous you are the more likely someone is to dig up your old yearbook photos.
For some background - in case you're actually interested! - the segment was about various commercial personalities such as the Old Spice guy, the ATT guy, and, of course, the GEICO gecko.
Great get, huh?
More importantly, if you listen to her amateurish interview style, you’d be convinced that if she weren’t the former presidential daughter, there’s no way she’d have such a plum position.
Must be nice to have friends in high places

-
She is simply reading a script that someone else wrote.
But, nevertheless...
if she weren’t the former presidential daughter, there’s no way she’d have such a plum position.

She would never have gotten such a job without being related to a former LIBERAL President, that is true.

I think Flo,Tony The Tiger and the AFLAC duck will be next for this giant of hard hitting investigative journalism.

They have to justify her being on TV and get her out in the public for future political stuff.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Chelsea speak before. She has a much more pleasant voice than her mother. But then I’d take Gilbert Godfried’s voice over Hillary’s.

To: Huskrrrr
If the female speaking is Chelsea Clinton, she needs to find another line of work not requiring her to speak. I don’t think even a speech coach could fix her scripting cadence.

And with this lone foray into hard-hitting reporting, Chelsea now has more qualifications to be President than Zero.

She’s doing voice-over work. Eh. Is she being paid a crap-load for it?

I heard/saw her on TV. Her voice reminds me of someone who has listened to WAY too much PBS! She’d be primetime there, haa!
I “gave” her another chance but she almost put me to sleep each time. Maybe she should do an Advil PM commercial...
