Here we go.

I mean, Savannah's faith has been on display over the years, but never quite like that.

What do you make of it, Mark?

I mean, I have thoughts, but tell me what you make of it.

I agree.

Yeah, you've got a cliffhanger.

You've got a cliffhanger.

You know, would it, Mark, would it...

Interests you to know that I could read into Craig's defeatist attitude as having something to do with reports that came out of NBC in the days after or hours after this interview that Craig was pissed beyond belief that not only did they give this one-on-one to Hoda, the mediocrity sitting next to him on this couch, but he wasn't even in the running to talk to her.

Our final clip, and this goes to your thesis that the job to be done here by these hosts is to tell the audience how to react, what to think, and what to feel.

Here we go.

Yeah.

This story that has yet to reach a conclusion, which would be what happened to Nancy, who did it, and where she is, all unanswered.

But Craig, in a face, an expression to me that reads like disgust, like he was directed to say this, sounds like she's got some peace.

Not just that, Mark, but it's another sort of example of be careful what you wish for.

You can get all the fame and money and power and access in the world, and you will not

be protected from something like this happening.

In fact, Savannah says in the interview, she thinks it's because of those things that her mother was taken.

And so that I think too, is like one, like she is way more valuable now.

She is a ratings gold mine, at least in the immediate.
