41. That sums it up for me, "very awkward as a host"

She looks very uncomfortable in that role and it can make viewers uncomfortable watching her. It doesn't appear to comes easily or naturally for her like it does for some. I remember when she got that Sunday evening slot and I was surprised as there were so many more talented people available. I tried watching her a few times and I felt like I was watching a high school teenager awkwardly interviewing seasoned adults and trying to act like a grownup.

She was fairly good as a reporter on the hill or on the campaign trail, but more than a few minutes of Hunt is way too much.
