About this episode

In this laugh-out-loud cemetery sit-down, Over My Dead Body digs up the legendary newsman Walter Cronkite for an exclusive “grave” interview. Viewers will not only get a crash course in Cronkite’s storied career as the most trusted voice in journalism but also hear what he has to say about today’s media landscape, from “fake news” to the 24-hour news cycle. With sharp wit and irreverent humor, this episode blends history and hilarity, proving that even the great Walter Cronkite can still make headlines—long after his sign-off of “And that’s the way it is."
