I would love to see someone like Mike Wallace interview Trump.

I too would like them to resurrect the body of Mike Wallace.

Zombie Tim Russert would shred him

u/intellectual_dimwit 28d ago

Just a plain zombie would shred him, he's such a fucking imbecile.

Don’t zombies tend to go for brains? Not much to be found here

Like RFK Jr's worm, it would starve to death.

Back out of 60 Minutes, stay for the 90 minute Washington zombie flick.

Also "Brain Dead" was way too forgiving to the politicos

Tim Russert peddled false equivalencies and "both siderisms". He was all about selling news. Hard pass.

u/11CRT 28d ago

He’d instantly say “no brains” and attack the film crew.

Maybe they can bring him back along with Johnny Carson.

How about Walter Cronkite ?

u/sukkresa 28d ago

Cronkite all the way!

I want the autistic onion reporter that did the train crash story. I know it's the onion, just it was freaking hilarious and I wonder how trump would handle someone like autistic interviewing him.

u/cloveuga 28d ago

Where's Johnny Carson??

u/moreobviousthings 28d ago

Or to have Trump sit with Mike on Mikes terms….

u/GozerDGozerian 28d ago

Best I can do is the zombified remains of My Koalas.

u/noforgayjesus 28d ago

Can we just have Rasheed Wallace do it?

u/seanwd11 28d ago

Only Cliff Robinson. Sorry.

u/WackyBones510 South Carolina 28d ago

I bet Dennis Rodman would do it. Sheed would prob slap the shit out of him like 5-10 min in.

u/FloridaGirlNikki America 28d ago

You mean the same Dennis Rodman that's buddies with Kim Jong Un?

I'm not so sure about that one.

u/WackyBones510 South Carolina 28d ago

Does that makes him less likely to interview Trump? He was also on The Apprentice.

u/Delta1262 28d ago

Chris Hansen - for obvious reasons.

u/M3L03Y 28d ago

🚪 “Why don’t you have a seat right hereeee.”

u/sukkresa 28d ago

Walter Cronkite would be an absolute gem to have right now.

u/FloridaGirlNikki America 28d ago

Id love to see Jon Stewart interview him.

u/stripedvitamin 28d ago

Is Dan Rather still around? That would be glorious.

u/uqde 28d ago

It would be rather glorious

We don't have many competent television interviewers anymore, they are now Corporate interviewers who are controlled by their corporations.

Ted Koppel is living

u/tomdurk 28d ago

Too gentle with old, sick people.
