Connie Chung Tonight
Chung is the host of Connie Chung Tonight, an American television news magazine. On June 24, 2002, CNN aired the hour-long series. The show was originally broadcast live but was later re-recorded in an attempt by the network to improve the program’s flow.
Despite receiving moderate audience ratings, Chung’s show was canceled with the start of the 2003 Iraq War, and Chung’s role was reduced to reading news headlines. When CNN returned to regular programming, they did not reintroduce Connie Chung Tonight. The show was canceled in March 2003, and Chung did not return to the network, despite being under contract with CNN at the time.
Connie Chung MSNBC
Chung and Maury Povich began hosting Weekends with Maury and Connie on MSNBC in January 2006. It was Chung’s first television appearance since 2003. The show was later canceled, with the final episode airing on June 17, 2006. In this episode, Chung performed a parody to the tune of “Thanks for the Memory” while dressed in a white evening gown and dancing on top of a black piano.
On the internet, video clips of the off-key farewell performance circulated. “All I want to be sure of is that viewers understood it was a giant self-parody,” Chung said. Anyone who took it seriously needs to get a life.” Jay Leno interviewed Chung about her “Thanks for the Memory” parody on The Tonight Show on June 27, 2006. Chung made fun of her show’s low ratings during the interview, referring to the musical number as a “private joke for our two viewers.”

Chung interviewed tennis player Martina Navratilova, who had been a naturalized U.S. citizen for more than 20 years at the time, about her recent criticisms of the U.S. political system in July 2002. Chung called these criticisms “un-American” and “unpatriotic,” and suggested that Navratilova “return to Czechoslovakia” (which had ceased to be a united nation nine years earlier) rather than using her celebrity to air her grievances.
