Famed Pretty-boy Ronan Farrow Joins MSNBC, Will Host Weekday Show (TVNewser) [okay, I added the pretty boy] ... but note that he is listed as most likely the son of Woody Allen (it has been suggested that Frank Sinatra is his real bio dad). Ronan Farrow is joining MSNBC where he will host a new Monday-Friday program for the network. Farrow is a writer and lawyer, and son of actress/humanitarian Mia Farrow and, most likely, film director/actor Woody Allen. Ronan has established himself as a provocative, independent journalist capable of challenging peoples assumptions and empowering audiences, said MSNBC president Phil Griffin in his announcement. THR / The Live Feed Farrows television experience -- and his familiarity to MSNBC viewers -- is limited. And Griffin said that hell appear across MSNBCs programs in the interim to build Farrows profile. Certainly the MSNBC chief has shown a willingness to groom talent that may lack TV skills. NYT Griffin said Farrows youth should be a plus in reaching out to viewers of his generation (few of whom regularly watch cable news), but he said the main rationale for the hire was his personality -- we look at personality and the ability to communicate. FishbowlDC This is a new generation of news show for a new, more engaged generation of viewers. Its a show about why the news matters to you -- and what you can do to be a part of the story, said Farrow in a release.
