Connie Chung Update: More ears across America have been damaged


Chung’s farewell serenade a hit on the Web
‘If anyone took it seriously, they really need to get a life’ says Chung
(from AP; http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13446973/)

On the Saturday finale of MSNBC’s “Weekends with Maury & Connie,” Chung sang a version of Bob Hope’s old theme song “Thanks for the Memory” to her husband and co-host, Maury Povich. A clip of the performance — complete with mood-setting candles and an accompanying grand piano — is the most popular clip of the week on the video Web site YouTube.
As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 413,000 people had viewed the video of Chung — a rating that might have saved “Weekends with Maury & Connie,” from being canceled. The half-hour talk show, which featured the two discussing news events, averaged about 232,000 viewers since debuting Jan. 7.


*If you read the whole article, you will find a great quote from Connie explaining how she mainly did the song to piss off Maury. That is jab #2 I've seen (I'm sure there's more), since she claimed to have "married an incompetent man" on "Weekends with Maury & Connie" to Maury's face. His response: "Did you really just say that on the air?"

I'm glad I could help 'ol Con-dog out and post her horrendous serenading on my blog. I know my 5 readers enjoyed it!
