I can't see it either!
Did she sing?
Did she turn into a screaming, sobbing mess?
What was it!?!?!?!

From the NY Post
CONNIE CROAKS ADIEU
By MICHAEL SHAIN
June 19, 2006 -- THE ratings-starved Maury Povich and Connie Chung weekend show on MSNBC ended its short, six-month run with a bizarre send-off - sure to live on as a tone-deaf stunt Chung will not soon be allowed to forget.
Perched on the edge of a white grand piano and decked out in a full-length evening gown, the former CBS and CNN anchorwoman warbled a farewell song that put down Dan Rather (with whom she co-anchored the CBS news in the early 1990s), her husband and cable TV - all at the same time.
"Thanks for the memories," she sang to the tune of the old standard:
We came to do a show for very little dough
By little, I mean I could make more working on skid row
That's cable TV.
Thanks for the memories
This half a year flew by
That Maury, what a guy
Instead of asking: Who's the daddy? He could talk Dubai
How stunned were we all
Thanks for the memories
The thing I love the most
About hubby as co-host
Is all those other anchors were as dull as melba toast
The sparks really flew
Thanks for the memories
Now that the show is through
I've got bigger things to do
But Maury is back weighing in:
Fat babies, how taboo!
He can't get enough.
At the end of the song, she collapsed on the floor of the studio as the camera faded out.
Video excerpts of Chung's off-key performance began popping up on the Internet almost as soon as it aired Saturday night.
The couple's half-hour talk show, "Weekends with Maury & Connie," aired its final edition Saturday and Sunday.
The weekly program, which began last January, marked Chung's return to TV after her weeknight CNN series was canceled in 2003.

That sounds horrible!
Was she trying to be funny?
I would be much better if it was a joke that fell flat (literally) than if it was meant to be serious.

Good grief. I can remember when Connie Chung was a respected journalist. What has happened to her!
Maury, on the other hand....

Was it well known that they are married? Cause I didn't know.
Or maybe I did know, but just don't care! Either way, that was news to me!
I'm not sure how will known it is. They've been married for years though, no kids, but it's definitly a "who cares" thing. There used to be articles printed on how jealous he was of her because she was doing straight journalism and he was doing "Who's Your Baby's Daddy" thing. I guess they don't have to worry about that pesky marital problem anymore.
Mad TV used to do a hilarious parody of them. Bobby Lee was Connie Chung and they never showed poor Maury.
Not on the same lines but I never knew Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft were married until she died. I was completely shocked; they seemed like polar opposites.

Search, there is a show on E! on Friday night, I think called "The Soup," that makes fun of them. Might be the one you're thinking of.
