Ep 143 Connie Chung - The First Asian Woman to Co-Anchor the CBS Evening News

Chatting with Connie Chung was a dream come true. For several generations, Connie was the only Asian face you saw consistently on television. Starting in 1971, Connie has brought us news and interviews with class and integrity. I still can't get over how humble and warm she was. I think she is still genuinely surprised by how much she means to us as Asian Americans. She is really the GOAT and an icon.

Her new book, Connie: A Memoir, is available everywhere.  I am so glad she wrote it. I learned so much more about her as a person as well as the era in which she was a trailblazer. You can follow Connie's brand new Instagram account @conniechungpovich 

I truly hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed recording it.  Somebody pinch me, I'm still over the moon that I got to have this fun chat!

Connie's pick for her InfatuAsian is the amazing Lisa Ling! @lisalingstagram Lisa, you're welcome on our show anytime as well!!!
