  • 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.

  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Closing Bell: 4/27/26
Q: What is the Fed chair outlook and how could Warsh influence policy?
Warsh is viewed as potentially dovish in certain contexts, with the market pricing in a few rate cuts this year; how he navigates inflation, labor strength, and the balance sheet will be critical in determining policy direction.
Closing Bell: 4/27/26
Q: How sustainable is the AI-driven rally given capex and memory constraints?
The guests suggest that capex by hyperscalers will likely stay elevated, memory and compute demand will stay strong for a while, and NVIDIA and allied chipmakers will continue to lead, but there is caution about valuations and potential multiple compression if growth estimates prove too optimistic.
Closing Bell: 4/27/26
Q: What does the panel think about the MAG7 and their impact on the broader market?
They believe the MAG7 are driving earnings momentum and that, while tech remains a leadership group, there is a growing discussion about whether the rest of the market can participate without a continued AI-driven push from these names.
Closing Bell: Powell Holds Final News Conference 4/29/26
Q: Do you think there could be a rate hike between now and year end?
Yes, the odds of a hike appear higher than the odds of a cut, especially if inflation pressures persist due to energy and other shocks.
Closing Bell: The Market’s Resilience 4/23/26
Q: How might AI and cybersecurity developments impact software stock volatility?
Experts expect ongoing volatility as AI advances create new vulnerabilities, but also demand for durable software partners; companies like Proofpoint position themselves as essential cybersecurity layers, supporting pricing model shifts as AI usage grows.
