Weekends with Maury and Connie -- MSNBC - Premieres Saturday, January 7, 2006 - 10 a.m. (EST)

How will 20 years of marriage impact the ability of two newspeople to work together? Will their diverse careers combine to create an interesting commentary on the week's news? Perhaps more importantly, at 10:00 Saturday morning, will anyone care?? This week brings us the debut of Weekends with Maury and Connie -- he the Springer-lite talk show host, former host of A Current Affair and golfing partner (Mo-man?) of the President -- she the former star of Los Angeles local news, then uneasy rider with Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News, and later fallen star after urging Newt Gingrich's mother to call Hillary Clinton a bitch on national TV ("C'mon, just between you and me."). Will the color of their individual careers combine to create a dynamic synergy here? Maybe, but it still depends on whether you're willing to confront it all at 10 Saturday morning.
