Jonathan Capeheart has not grown into his job as a host on MSNOW. [View all]

He spends too much time giggling. He is not serious.

He treats the news like it's a soap opera. Today he started a segment about the Iran negotiations, by saying: "poor JD". Susan DelPurcio (of whom I am not a big fan) immediately clapped back on the comment, but he continued on defending his "style".

During the question portion at the end of the show, Jacquie turned to him for his answer. He flustered, and said - oh no I wasn't even paying attention. Take this job seriously, Jonathan....concentrate.

As usual, he stumbled through some of his speaking segments. He acts like he doesn't even know the material. Um, um, um, uh, uh...giggle, giggle.

He is a distraction on the weekend morning show. These are serious times and the show deserves his serious attention. These are serious topics - war, corruption, a volatile Democracy.

Jacquie Alemany keeps trying to keep the show serious and centered. Thank you, Jacquie.

My helpful hint to Jonathan - professionals often watch themselves on tape, to see how they can improve.
