My wife and I are both the same age as Gayle King. She sort of feels like a member of our family. We mostly love the show. Gayle, Tony, and Nate are fantastic. All of the contributors are also wonderful. I could say something nice about almost any of them but for the moment I will highlight David Begnaud. His reports are so touching and positively wonderful and can brighten almost anyone's day when there is typically such contrariness in the world. Sadly there is one exception to your cast. When Vlad comes on I either mute or go to GMA. I apologize but he reminds of junior high children who want to steal everyone's attention. He hops and jumps and kicks his feet in the air followed by much yelling. He is also rude to the others by constantly interrupting. When he took a leave I was so relieved. He might be a wonderful in his personal life but on the show he ruins the chemistry.
