Everything about This Week Abc Tv Series totally explained

This Week is one of the five network U.S. Sunday morning political talk shows. It has aired on Sunday mornings on ABC since 1981; the program is initially aired at 9:00 AM ET, although almost all stations air the program later. George Stephanopoulos has hosted the program since September 2002.

Hosts

From 1981 to 1996, it was hosted by David Brinkley and known as This Week with David Brinkley. After Brinkley retired, Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts hosted, with the according program name change. Ever since Stephanopoulos took over, the program has been known as This Week with George Stephanopoulos.

Key features

One of the key features of This Week is the Roundtable, which includes pundits such as George Will and Fareed Zakaria, ABC News correspondents such as Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts, and others discussing the major issues of the week. Will, a panelist ever since the program's start with David Brinkley, also contributes short reports to the broadcast.
   Other key features include The List, which includes "voices" and "images" segments (often combined into one), which spotlight a notable newsmaker, the "Sunday funnies," a collection of late-night jokes, and In Memoriam, a listing of prominent celebrity deaths and a listing of all military deaths from that week.
   On April 20, 2008, This Week began broadcasting from the Newseum in Washington D.C. in a studio that overlooks the U.S. Capitol. In addition, the program became available in high definition for the first time in the program's history, also becoming the first Sunday Morning talk show in high defintion..
