CNN tonight

I really enjoy this show. Sometimes, I find it a bit frustrating when host does most of the talking and doesn’t give guests time to finish comments. Perhaps it’s just early days until host settles a bit. The topics and guests are very interesting.
Thank you.

You’re show

I have been watching you on cnn since March of 2020, every week I tape you at 9 pm and Don Lemon at 10. You guys are doing a great job and I’m loving your interest and interviews. You say it as is and even tho I get frustrated at all the Trumpsters big lie from the insurrection to voting fraud . Although I am Canadian, I am human with integrity and believes in truth, I really feel for you guys and my American friends. God bless you and Don and the rest of the cnn family.
