You have to know this has been brought up with him (over and over and over and over)....Maybe a little electrical annoyance would break him of this.

And it would be a favor to him and to all his viewers.

I can't believe his contract will be renewed if he keeps this up--his constant interrupting makes his show completely unwatchable. And I say this as someone who actually likes him as a human being... but he is absolutely intolerable as an interviewer.

Interrupting Joan Walsh. She finally had to say to him I never interrupted you. He was equally rude to Erin Burnett. What is with these men who think it’s ok to interrupt women but not men?

I always felt he talked over women much more than men but wasn't sure.

The difference is especially glaring when Howard Fineman, George Will, or another older white male is on.

Tweety will gaze silently in adoration while they ramble on, but then he turns to a female guest and seldom let's her get out a noun and verb before he interjects some inane remark.

everything, it all comes back to him. Tweety couldn't even give a piece on Aretha Franklin's passing without putting in how he heard her music while he was serving in the Peace Corp. Tweety always ends up putting himself into it to "impress" his viewers on what he's done or what important people he knows or what great places he's traveled to. I've noticed this more and more about him, he must be really needy to have to do such bragging.
