00:00Thank you, Steve, for that lovely eulogy. That was fantastic.
00:06You know, Steve mentioned that Chris had been the recipient of a Peabody Award.
00:11Now, don't confuse it with the Peabody Award given for excellence in journalism.
00:16This is the Peabody Award given up by the Rocky and Bullwinkle show by Mr. Sherman, just to clear that up.
00:24Now, you might not know this. His parents' name was Christopher. He was born on Columbus Day. Isn't that correct?
00:29Born on Columbus Day. That's why he's recently been pressured to change his name to Indigenous Peoples Wallace.
00:37We all know how tough it is growing up in this town in the shadow of a famous parent.
00:44That end of the day, Maury Povich announced, Mike Wallace, you are not the father.
00:51These are all stupid jokes.
00:54Chris actually started out as a model.
00:56His first break came when he was shown to be the camera face for a major stool softener manufacturer.
01:02So, I thought that was quite an honor.
01:05All right. Let's continue.
01:06That was funny.
01:07He proved his worth. Thank you. Thank you, Arnold.
01:10I didn't understand it, but it's funny.
01:12It sounded using the English to make you make it funnier.
01:16Do it now.
01:17Do it now.
01:19There's a bomb in the tree. Look out.
01:20He proved his versatility by working for both CNN and Fox, showing that Chris didn't care who he worked for as long as they were really, really biased.
01:29In fact, I remember the night he scored one of the biggest interviews of his career, when he sat down with Frank Sinatra, Jr., and gave an award.
01:43No, I've been a fan of this gentleman for a long time.
01:46I got to know Walter Cronkite, and I think he is a fitting tribute to that great man.
01:50Walter was a friend of mine.
01:52Walter and Walter and...
01:53What's that?
01:57Welcome to Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.
02:01Once again, free speech reigns supreme here in town.
02:05Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much.
02:08Now, I was with him when he got the Congressional Medal of Honor Award.
02:13That's given by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, and they don't just hand those out.
02:18But I've been a big fan of his. He's a newsman with a sense of humor.
02:22He always gets a joke. He didn't get some of mine today, but that's okay.
02:26But just a huge fan.
02:28And, you know, in a day when news seems to be all just people with TikTok and just unprofessional, peaceful reporting,
02:37to have a real, true professional with us, Chris Wallace.
