DAN RATHER and TOM BROKAW

...just saw Mr. Rather on Hardball's re-run. I often see Mr. Brokaw on various MSNBC shows. Why doesn't some genius producer put them on together? They could do a weekend show - or at least appear together occasionally. I'm not that enamored with either of them, but would be interested in seeing them discuss issues, due to their shared experience. Why hasn't someone put them on air together?

Dan Rather does "The Big Interview" with celebrity guests and he's very good. I think he's on Axis a kennedy Nov 2016 #2

He was the king of the talk shows, IMO. What MSNBC did to him was unforgivable. It would be great to see him again.
