Amanpour Bringing New Faces To 'This Week' Roundtable... See Who They Are
When Christiane Amanpour took over ABC's "This Week," one of the things she said she wanted to shake up was the weekly roundtable. You know how it looks at the moment: George Will spars with Paul Krugman or Donna Brazile, while Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts give their two cents.
This weekend, Amanpour seems to be fulfilling her promise to bring in new faces to the roundtable. While not exactly coming from outside of New York-Washington media circles, at least three of them are new to "This Week."
Below, take a look at the new faces, and tell us if you approve — or if you'd rather stick with the tried and true guests. Also, tell us who you would personally like to see at the roundtable!
