  • 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

  • I wish the CNBC hosts would stop sucking up to Trump and call the madness out…

    I’m really tired of all the shows soft-peddling the lack of coherent strategy and meat-axe approach by ”DOGE” to “downsizing” the Federal workforce and just call it what it is - the forced destruction of government services and the administrative state for everyone but the 1%. “DOGE” should, at minimum, publish a strategy, why certain things are targeted, and REAL savings achieved, not just blowhard PR. The “uncertainty” they continually refer to is because Trump and Musk have no agenda to actua... more
