It’s an accomplishment that he remembered his co-host’s name without the prompter. Fortunately, their hair is perfect, so they’ll look good while they sit clueless waiting for the little voice in their earpieces to tell them to remember to blink. Scribble on your prop papers or poke around your tablets in the meantime.
One of my local TV news anchors pronounced Rosalynn Carter’s name “Roz-a-lin” as if her death and funeral haven’t been news all week, reported by network news reporters who correctly called her “Rose-a-lin.” No wonder these local-TV reporters never seem to get offers from stations in bigger markets.

I once saw an interview with the cast of ‘Cheers’. Without scriptwriters telling them what to say, they were the dullest celebrities I’ve ever heard!

A local station just feeds the teleprompter to the caption. It gets ahead of them when they banter.

It all started with ABC’s “Eyewitness News” 50 years ago. It’s been all downhill ever since.
