I once thought King was kind of ok, but then not long after we invaded Iraq and people were asking why the pressing questions were never ask and why Bush was giving basically a free ride, as the media gladly spreed his lies without ever questioning them, King was on with Wolf and actually said that he did not ask the tough questions because HE did not want to risk not being called on or lose his press pass. He said something really stupid like he couldnt cover the white house if he ask pressing questions and was not allowed back in. Funny, if you dont practice journalism, what good is it to be in the white house or anywhere else? This guy is fraud, and will say and do whatever he can to get what he wants. If he reports something, I automatically think its BS now. And it most likely is.

Oh that's just great. Another researcher into Bill Clinton's trouser snake gets his own show.

God, CNN sucks.

It's Jughead Jones!!! Remarkable resemblance....I'm going to go dig out my old Archie comics.

Republican tool. Tireless Mccain boot licker. He and his eyelash-batting girlfriend make me puke.

He's a repub sychophant who will not give a more accurate state of the union than he has for the last 8 years.

This is good news; it's about time that John King got a show of his own. He's a highly intelligent political analyst, especially when compared to the average pundit pontificating in the media today, and he is relatively objective in a media world that is increasingly becoming characterized by subjective viewpoints.

Thanks for ringing in, Ms. King.

I'd rather see Roland Martin get his own show. And I'd love to see D.L. Hughley lose his. Watching his brand of "comedy" is painful. I'll never laugh at his jokes as much as he does. Pathetic.

We already have enough fishing shows.

John King can't carry 4 hours. Their is no real connection between him and the viewers, just no personality at all. I guess this is CNN's way of payback for operating the "Magic Wall" during the campaign - lol.

He is not top tier talent, but neither is David Gregory. Looks like a mediocre vs. mediocre lineup to me, at best.

[MakersMark]

Because I cannot stand David Gregory, I'm gonna have to peak at John King. I don't like him much either, but can't forgive MSNBC for giving MTP to Gregory!

I cannot stand this man.

I like John King. But where is Don Lemon in all of this? I like him too. He's a budding talent for sure.

I can watch the other shows (Meet the Press, This Week, Face the Nation, Fareed Zakaria, Chris Matthews) because each costs my DVR space 60 minutes or less, and as I watch each and erase it, it frees up that much time for new recordings. No way would I DVR a four-hour program! Too bad, CNN. Your program length exceeds my capacity to make time to watch it. The time slot is too inconvenient to watch it live. I do other things during that time period.

4 hours? They really want to take advantage of the high unemployment.

I hope he comes off sounding less Republican than he did on the CNN programs he's been a part of with his new wife who's just as Republican sounding as he is.

Anyone is better than "Happening Nooooowwwwww" Blitzer. 4 hrs is a long time though.

I didn't know Dorothy from The Golden Girls worked for CNN.
