An excerpt from Rukeyser's 1st show on CNBC in April 2002 after having been dumped for younger hosts by public television's Maryland Public Television (MPT). In his usual style he gloats about landing on his feet a month later on cable TV. I understand from what I've read that Lou went off on MPT on his final PBS show which aired live in March 2002 but the tape was destroyed by the television station. I would love to see a copy of that. The original PBS program "Wall Street Week" ran from November 1970 to June 2005 (per Wikipedia).

  • Thanks for the heads up for Louis Swan Song show with Maryland Public Television. No wonder they let him go after that show.

  • @ontariocottager I Agree. Louis Rukeyser made WALL STREET WEEK The Classic Show that it is Today.

  • @Texx010 Somebody did upload Lou's last MPT episode: search for "Louis Rukeyser's Swan Song".

  • Somebody did upload Lou's last MPT episode - search for "Louis Rukeyser's Swan Song".

    It was wonderful, he really gave it to MPT!

  • I miss Lou Rukeyser. I used to watch this program long before I started investing. If you wanted to know what was really going on without being panicked by the gloom and doom media, you listened to this man's calm and measured appraisal. Lou also had a wonderfully, dry sense of humor too;^) A truly great man.

  • July 3, 2002 to July 21, 2002 was the worst.

    Dow dropped 15%-20%.

  • Fridays haven't been the same. More real laughs than a lame sitcom, a true perspective on the worlds financial ups and downs, the truly best guests, man I miss that guy!

  • Lou was the best. He didn't fit in with PBS and NPR's agenda as a propaganda organizations with the mission to create docile masses who cheerfully pay their taxes, agree to redistribute wealth to the poor, throw open the borders to illegal aliens and believe in global warming.

  • I see they kept a bit of "TWX In 12 Bars" in the intro.
