Both of them would/will need to grow into the role. Bottom line - it is still entertainment and the host has to have an entertainer's personality as well as gravitas. Gregory has the tools, Todd's on-air personality is a little too ummm... non-existent. Agree with you about the embedding. I am even more annoyed that CNBC does not even offer embedding when sister broadcaster MSNBC does. What's up with that? Since the election I have stopped watching the political channels, and primarily watch CNBC or CSPAN when a debate is on. There is a lot of great video content at CNBC that I'd like to embed.
