I nominate Jason DeRusha (provided this is something he wants to commit himself to). I would rather see this segment go to a reporter who's been with WCCO a while, instead of giving this to a new reporter. A lot of channel 4's better reporters feel comfortable doing what they are doing than doing a specialized report such as "Good Question". Examples are Heather Brown and Pat Kessler and Jeanette and Bill Hudson who do "Finding Minnesota". My 23 year old would just love being approached by the lovely JT on the street anytime. My kids and I just love Ben and wish him the best!!!!! “Good Question” needs to be done by someone who is comfortable with the public and by a reporter that the public feels comfortable with.

If you could get that Beakman guy that would be killer w/ more filler. Your manager thinks “Good Question” should be replaced with “Great Question”.

Take 90 seconds or whatever and fill it with actual news. It's hard enough to take a newscast seriously when the anchor pops in with an editorial, throwing in a "good question" doesn't help.
