BuzzFeed has a deep look into the state of Chelsea Clinton’s job at NBC, which has so far yielded minimal returns for the network.
“Almost
everyone I spoke to for this story — from within NBC and at other
networks as well — agree that that problem is that she won’t talk about
the one thing that makes her undeniably compelling… The must ask
questions: What was it like to live through that in the White House?
What did you know, and when did you know it? How pissed were you at your
father? How do you feel about marriage? Should your mother have
stayed?”
“Eventually, Chelsea will have to answer the
questions listed above, and she’ll likely do so on NBC. (My hunch is
that NBC’s chief Steve Capus’s gamble will prove brilliant in the long
run.) But right now, we’re stuck in another awkward Chelsea Clinton
phase, a kind perpetual sheltered adolescence, still getting to know you
after all these years. And who wants to watch that?”
