  • Why Did they change it

    Um John Forte was great and now we get Melissa Lee x 2 bc she does fast money . These two are really boring hosts I don’t understand why they changed the hosts that were great . Stupid move and now another bad host change on another CNBC show that makes me skip the program . If it’s not broken don’t fix it

  • Very good

    I prefer Closing Bell over Overtime. Scott Wapner is an excellent host and brings in quality guests. I was glad to see the switch to Melissa Lee and Mike Santoli, because I was not a huge fan of Jon Fortt. Usually, I had passed on Overtime unless specific company earnings were being released after the market close. Lastly, please stop bringing back members of the Halftime Report investment committee so often. Guests like Adam Parker, Liz Ann Sonders, Dan Greenhaus, Ed Yardeni, Prof. Siegel, and ... more

  • More Guest Participation

    Enough with the excessive “reporter” (really news readers) involvement. It would be nice to hear a thing or two from your guests for a change.

  • TOO LOUD

    Why are CNBC’s market shows so loud? It makes listening very tiring. It’s like watching cable news.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Closing Bell 10/12/26
Q: Do you think this would be a good buying opportunity? Are you expecting the prints to be better than expected and therefore a catalyst to the upside?
David Scheverini expects bank earnings to provide relief after the sell-off. He anticipates more manageable capital declines and stable to modestly higher net interest margins.
Closing Bell 10/12/26
Q: You have got a target of 8,100 on the S&P as earnings season gets underway. What's the path to get there?
Scott Croner says both AI-influenced companies and more traditional sectors need to perform. A softer inflation and Federal Reserve outlook alongside continued AI-related earnings growth could support the target.
Closing Bell Overtime: Four-Year Anniversary of the Bull 10/12/26
Q: Affordability is the top issue. I've been traveling all around the country the last two months, meeting with clients and it doesn't matter where you are in that wealth chain, alternate where it's mass affluent, it's the top issue. One of the things that's important that we're watching is really gas prices, because in years in which you get a sustained increase, it could be 10 cents, it could be a dollar or more, and the sitting president's party on average loses 32 seats in the House of Representatives, so it's quite an impact.
Monica Guerra identifies affordability and gas prices as key concerns. She discusses historical market performance under divided government and says policy headlines can create volatility, potentially offering entry points when they do not derail the broader economic cycle.
Closing Bell Overtime: Four-Year Anniversary of the Bull 10/12/26
Q: So how are you reading some of these mixed signals from here as we, you know, head into earnings season, head into a fifth year of a bull market?
Max Kettner says valuations have compressed and risk premiums have risen, leaving sentiment skeptical. He thinks earnings could support broader market participation if yields stabilize, though weaker fiscal support could create economic surprises in 2027.
Closing Bell 10/14/26
Q: Why is the reported $518 billion in Anthropic's compute and infrastructure commitments important?
Alex Kantrowitz says AI companies need large infrastructure investments to meet rapidly growing demand, but the scale of Anthropic's obligations is concerning because the technology and growth assumptions remain unproven.
