Those who have followed as Weekend Update anchors have been creative and entertaining, and their satire is often spot on, but no one since Dan Akroyd and Jane Curtin played off one other has there been such a strong acrimony between anchors.

In real life the only equivalent was when ABC teamed Barbara Walters with Harry Reasoner (which I thought was a great name for a journalist). He detested her, both as a journalist and as someone who was making a lot more than he was. He slammed her at least once every show.
