Charlie Rose has had a night time talk show in some form since about 1991. In the last three or four years, he has also been a co-host on CBS This Morning Show with Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell. To me, Charlie seems very much out of place on that show. There is nothing ‘sunny’ about his demeanor.
Charlie is of course professional, but also grim and craggy in appearance. He looks like someone you’d encounter in the dead of night in regards to a very serious, mostly unpleasant matter at hand. An exasperated Vincent Price, if you will.
Vincent Price had class. Charlie Rose is just an ass.
