He's the Julian Lennon of American journalism.

If his father wasn't Mike Wallace he would be the mid day weatherman in Ottumwa Iowa.

Hell, I didn't know there was such a show until you posted this.

That's not what the article said at all. It clearly states it was watched by 400k viewers. The 40k was just one (important) demographic.

I hate the guy and network as much as anyone else, but at least be honest.

I would love to know what HE attributes his decline in popularity?

The thing I absolutely love about this: What did he legitimately think would happen? Did he think that HE brought all those viewers to Fox? Did he honestly think the bluehairs would follow him to XiNN? Their unfettered hatred of that network is insurmountable, and I'm just completely shocked he didn't realize that. He's a bright guy. How did he not know this?

I said this before the last show he had tanked, but even Howard Stern was like "Chris Wallace is leaving Fox and going to CNN? People don't watch CNN. Who the hell is gonna pay for CNN+? Chris Wallace is going to that? Good luck being seen on that thing. I like Chris Wallace - but I'm not gonna pay a monthly service for him..."

That's likely the least surprising thing I'll read all day.

It's bizarre to me that someone as self important as Wallace even agreed to do the type of show where he's basically an E! correspondent


Rather than retire with a little dignity, he's going to go the YouTube route and be even further humiliated

Next week’s episode features Wallace quizzing retired baseball slugger Alex Rodriguez over his dating history.
Oh thank god! I was so wondering about that. This will completely impact my life. So thankful for hard-hitting journalism on this important issue.

We were told 4.5 years ago that anyone who thought Chris Wallace was clean,

He still thinks he is relevent?


People didn't tune in to Fox because Chris Wallace was on there, people watched Chris Wallace because he was on Fox.

Same deal with all these NIL arguments. I don't watch Georgia football because player X is there, I watch player X because he's on the Georgia football team.

Chris Wallace is a mess compared to his father.


I remember Mike Wallace doing an interview about his suffering from depression. I think I now know what was the root cause of it.

Wallace’s show also drew just 44,000 viewers


And 30k of those were in airport terminals without capabilities to change the channel.

Sunday night’s premiere of “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace”


There appears to be an easy explanation for this. You see, the show, "Who's talking to Chris Wallace" forgot to put a question mark at the end. It's really a survey to see if anyone actually talks to Chris Wallace.

There's a planned sequel to this show entitled, "Now what do we do with Chris Wallace?".
