📺 Watched Face The Nation Episode aired on 12-25-16
CBS' "Face the Nation" reflects back on 2016 and looks ahead to the coming year, with guests Stephen Colbert, host of "The Late Show," and our panel of CBS News correspondents.
I’ve been sitting on this for a few weeks and glad I kept it. Colbert gives a much more serious interview than I would have anticipated. His concept of not playing for teams is an interesting one.
Colbert’s tip for interviewing: “Don’t hold a pen.”

A relatively up the middle episode. Good to see Baker get in some more significant screen time–perhaps a present before she’s away on maternity leave?
📺 Watched Shark Tank S8 | E12
With Mark Cuban, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, Daymond John. A line of dolls; cat companion products; an online shop for replacing men's undergarments; a patriotic coffee business; follow up on drain strain.
Terrifically sad to see the reaction to hearing that the underwear idea group had given away 75% of their ownership. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the oxygen leave the room so quickly on this show.

📺 Watched "America’s Next Top Model" Major Key Alert S23 | E4
With Rita Ora, Ashley Graham, Law Roach, Drew Elliott.
Suckered into a second episode because it autoplayed after the last one. Not engaging enough to watch more than this one last episode. Unless something goes awfully awry, I could easily guess who the final contestants will be.
