Connie Chung drunk and singing on a piano

We are back in America after almost a year away, and we have to say that you people are totally spoiled! We miss 24 hour grocery stores, shopping on Sundays, and driving around like maniacs. Switzerland is much more relaxing, clean, and safe, but it’s totally boring compared to America, and there are hardly any trashy TV shows. There’s a lot of stress here, though, I forgot about that, and you must need a break from it all. I will do my best to make your celebrity vacation as gossip-filled and snarky as possible. Thanks to everyone who commented here and added us as friends on MySpace during our brief vacation.

So here’s Connie Chung totally wasted and singing on a piano.

She was saying goodbye to the show you’ve never heard of that she hosted weekday mornings on MSNBC with her creepy ex-husband, Maury Povich:

“Weekends with Maury & Connie” — a half-hour program in which the two hosts sought to comment on the news through analysis, point-counter-point and humor — was at least partly intended to counter the conventional wisdom about each of them, she said. “It showed Maury was a thinker, a reader, an intelligent news person,” Ms. Chung said. “It showed, on my side, that I can have as much fun as anyone.”

The show, which was broadcast for six months, on Saturday mornings at 10 (and rebroadcast throughout the weekend), never caught on with viewers, drawing an average audience of slightly more than 200,000 on Saturday mornings. The cable channel quietly noted its demise earlier this month.

Chung says the act was a “gag” and that she “should have had a drink before I went on.” She meant to say “I should have had another drink before I went on, maybe I would have blacked out and forgot about it.”
