    I have never paid much attention to this before, but is it unusual for her list of the 10 most fascinating people to actually be closer to 30, which it will be if you include an entire family and an ensemble cast?

    It is a terrible list but that's what passes as "fascinating" these days to the media. I would put Herman Cain on the list. Not a fan of his but he is an interesting character who grabbed a lot of attention. He was a hands on a thigh away from the GOP nomination.

    Pippa Middleton wore a dress and stood behind her sister. That's all she did. Boggles the mind.

    I'm certain NASCAR driver Kurt Busch was originally on her list, but the censors wouldn't allow her to air the interview. #KurtBuschThanksgiving

    It's funny, you look at the entire list and the cast of Modern Family is the only group that actually "achieved" something. Jeter hung on long enough to get 3,000 and dumped Minka, the Kardashians staged a wedding, Trump quit running for President before he started, Pippa was a bridesmaid, Cowell 's X Factor has underperformed and Katy Perry married Russell Brand.

    We've become a nation that rewards quitters, losers and people with bad taste.

    Is it me, or are her "Most Fascinating" People becoming akin to being listed as the cast of DWTS (i. e. People who most folks don't care much for because they have been overexposed already...?). Just wondering. And if Steve Jobs is on the list, she can interview his biography writer, Walter Isaacson.

    The Kardashians already have enough exposure on E!, to which putting them on Walters' special makes me say, "E!-nough already!!
