I guess it betrays my bias toward reading that when I saw your title line, I immediately thought of long-form print journalism, like the excellent pieces in The New Yorker or the New York Times magazine on Sunday.
I don't watch that kind of thing much - and I certainly wouldn't credit Barbara Walters for anything, as I've always despised her for throwing away her opportunity as a prominent early woman in TV journalism by doing such lightweight interviews. But I'll point out that Christiane Amanpour is doing interviews five nights a week on PBS, without commercials.
you saw 'big interview' and thought long form print journalism?
I will pitch Chris Wallace. He is assumed to be a right wing commentator but he has been doing a lot of hard question ,take no guff interviews lately. I think he is channeling his late father- Mike Wallace.
Chris Wallace is the best interviewer in the business today. Tough, honest, and fair. I love the way he shredded Sarah Huckabee's credibility a few weeks ago. And Steven Miller this past Sunday.
Will Rogers was a comedian and showman. But he was the most trusted and revered person in our country and people depended on his opinions and comments on the news. He could have owned the political realm, if he'd chosen. The manner in which people present and comment on the events in the news, isn't nearly as important as the information they convey and how believable they are.
Will "I never met a man I didn't like" Rogers was a great American. And he never met Donald Trump.
Every big interview of merit seems to default to Anderson Cooper, or for old school gravitas, one of the fossils at 60 Minutes.
