Christiane Amanpour
Christiane Amanpour Former CNN correspondent made her first appearance as the new host of ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday replacing George Stephanopoulos, who left for "Good Morning America" in January. The nearly 30-year-old talk show's new version only deviated slightly from previous incarnations, opting for pre-recorded interviews (with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates). The round-table discussion talked about "This Week" veterans Donna Brazile, Paul Krugman and George Will. Amanpour is one of the most known and well-respected names in television reporting, much of the anticipation in relation to her takeover of ABC’s Sunday show was a direct result of the exclusive mark Jake Tapper left during his shortrun takeover of hosting duties. In a comparatively short time he managed to make the show entirely his own. In that time every one thought that ABC had made a mistake by going outside their own newsroom to land a new host but Amanpour, a well established name in the journalism world, suddenly had to take some very big steps to fill the gap. Amanpour held the title of CNN chief international correspondent for 18 years. IN March ABC News announced her as the new "This Week" host. The Walt Disney Co. is the owner of ABc.
