A lot of people don't realize that I started my career in sports and was a sports reporter long before I was on television. I used to be an NBA reporter and an NHL reporter.

I really think a good host is just a connector. I'm more traffic cop than star. My job is to get people on and off the program, and hopefully keep the audience entertained.

You watch Bono in a room - and we're talking about a room of thousands swarming around him - he'll take every single person and make that moment about them. You can pat him on the back or pull his arm, he's not looking away from the person he's talking to.

News channels have always had interview shows, but we need different kinds of interviews with different kinds of interviewers - interviewers who bring different life experiences to the table.

The youth don't vote lawmakers into office, and as a result, they don't work for them.

The industry is such - there is no guarantee that a show would work only because it is airing.

Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.

I yield to no one in my admiration for the office as a social center, but it's no place actually to get any work done.
