Connie Chung Biography

Connie Chung is a seasoned journalist with experience spanning multiple major U.S. television networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC. She made history in 1993 when she became the second woman and first Asian woman to co-anchor a network newscast as part of CBS Evening News. Her portfolio of shows includes "Saturday Night with Connie Chung," "Face to Face with Connie Chung," and "Eye to Eye with Connie Chung" on CBS. Notably, she co-hosted the Monday edition of "20/20" with Charles Gibson on ABC News.

Chung's interview style, characterized by a mix of gentle engagement and rapid-fire questioning, has seen her conduct noteworthy interviews with public figures such as Claus von Bülow, U.S. representative Gary Condit, and Magic Johnson. Her approach to journalism, while occasionally drawing criticism, has often been utilized by public figures to navigate scandals. Her work in securing exclusive interviews was highlighted in her discussion paper, "The Business of Getting 'The Get': Nailing an Exclusive Interview in Prime Time."

Chung's career extends beyond journalism, having held a teaching fellowship at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. She has also shared her personal experiences and insights in her memoir "Connie: A Memoir," released in 2024. Her pioneering role in U.S. journalism, as the second woman and the first Asian to anchor a major nightly news program, is reflected in her extensive career, as documented on her IMDb profile.
