Join Me in Congratulating Cynthia McFadden

Joni Evans

Cynthia McFadden is to be congratulated. We just got word that  her ABC "Nightline" show is No. 1 for the fourth consecutive week – outperforming NBC’s "The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien" and CBS’s "Late Show With David Letterman," according to Nielsen Media Research. Click here to read more about this fantastic news.

I called Cynthia to congratulate her and she tells me that on August 4 she hopes you’ll watch "Nightline" for her interview with Julie Powell, the young woman who inspired Nora Ephron’s new movie, "Julie and Julia." The real-life Julie – on the verge of turning 30 and feeling her life was stalled – decided to cook her way through Julia Child’s Mastering The Art of French Cooking. The results are hysterical and even a bit profound. Click here to visit "Nightline’s" website.

I can’t stand either Conan OBrien or David Letterman. I go to bed early. But I have seen Cynthia McFadden on other news shows and like her very much. So Congrats go out to her for a job well done in toppling 2 "Jerks"!!

Congrats Cynthia and well deserved. I’m happy those looking for real content have found Nightline.

I cried when Jay Leno stepped down and laughed when NBC announced we (the sheep) will embrace Conan and he doesn’t have to change his personal style.  Are network execs really that dumb? 

When Jay Leno returns in the fall who will have the last laugh?

Cynth is one of my favorite TV reporters. Congrats to her! Is there any way wOw can get permission to re-run the video, in case some of us miss it?

By the way, where are all the great audio (and video) interviews this site used to do? Loved them!

What took them so long!  Nightline is interesting and informative and its three hosts are so civilized.  I have long really liked Cynthia McFadden.  Her reports are even-handed.

Congratulations to Cynthia. It is so nice to have Nightline and not have to watch Conan or Letterman, even if you do have cable where nothing new is on at 10:30

I can’t wait to see the Julie interview.  I remember seeing pics of that tiny kitchen where she took on that cookbook!  Amazing!

Love Nightline.  I’ve been a fan for a very long time!  Cynthia rocks!
