Ahead of the new season of his HBO Max series, Chris Wallace sits down with The Times' SteveBattaglio to discuss his transition to CNN and the anxiety he experienced in the 1980s, when Barbara Walters tried to pair up with his legendary father.
Whenever you ask a TV journalist what their dream job is, this is the format they imagine. But it was gone for a while until “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” came on.
You grew up in a world of TV ratings. Does management tell you much about how the streaming numbers are? It was two weeks [in] and this email comes out that Jeff is leaving. I didn’t know Jeff all that well, but he was the guy that hired me, so I didn’t think that was great news. And I admired Jeff just from his reputation and his long history. Much more devastating in a structural sense was when we worked so hard for so long for three months to develop the CNN+ show, and to tape about 18 shows, and that suddenly went crashing down. I had a contract. I knew they were going to find work for me.
We recently lost Barbara Walters. You worked at ABC News when she was there. Your father, Mike Wallace, competed with her, and your stepfather, Bill Leonard, knew her when he was a CBS News executive. So I’m guessing you have a few stories. I bumped into him a few times at movie screenings and things like that, and he had just seemed to feel a connection to me, and I think it was largely because his father was a news anchor, and obviously my father was. And I had been trying to interview him, and his publicist, Stan Rosenfeld, kept saying no in a very polite way. And then Clooney came back from South Sudan with his father and he wanted to talk about the genocide going on there.
