That’s how the atmosphere works.”

How did I become such a cliche?”

Just when Brzezinski thought her career was ending, she received a chance to be on national television.

The following year, Brzezinski was given the opportunity to co-host for the last-minute fill-in show calledMorning Joe.

“He said, ‘I do.

Vieira later worked onTodaybefore landing spots as the first moderator forThe Viewand as the host of multiple game shows.

I knew how to ask them questions.

I knew how to listen.”

We’re so happy for her success, especially consideringthe tragedies Meredith Viera has gone through.

So would this morning show host ever head back to news?

“I would dream of being at Wimbledon… Well you know what?

I did get to Wimbledon,” Roberts toldEntertainment Weekly.

“I didn’t have a tennis racket in my hands, I had an ESPN microphone.

It still was every bit as gratifying.”

Beginning with a fast-paced career in politics, Sawyer turned to journalism to share important stories with the world.

Having hosted bothCBS Morning NewsandGood Morning America, she’s interviewed some of the planet’s most powerful names.

As a busy woman, Sawyer has learned not to complicate things on television and in her life.

“It’s one of the great joys: uncomplicating your life,” the Emmy award-winning journalist said.

“If you want to keep the propulsion, you could’t have all that complication anymore.”

However, the morning show host is all about going with the flow.
