comment

First, I would like to say that I was disappointed to learn that Willie Geist's program Zeitgeist is actually a satirical video blog. I had been relying upon the show as my sole source of news and will now be forced to look elsewhere for the latest updates on Paris Hilton.

That said, I would also like to apologize on behalf of myself and Wikipedia for the error which was posted on the Erin Burnett page. I am sincerely sorry about the trouble it caused and I hope my contributions here will make up for any pain and suffering caused to Mr. Geist and/or MSNBC television. - ICarriere 08:55, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Keep the current portrait (unsigned and undated comment – pre-August 2012)

The "glare" picture is perfect for his article's portrait. This is the thing he's currently most famous for. Unless there's an image of him that becomes more famous, I sincerely hope we stick with this one, possibly forever.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Mention in Donald Trump tweet

Should we add the tweet by Donald Trump referring to Geist as "uncomfortable looking reporter?" Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.20.135.157 (talk) 15:23, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish?

Jewish? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.89.135 (talk) 20:46, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a reliable source stating that he is Jewish, and if this is relevant to the article, then go ahead and add the information. In the absence of such a source, please refrain from such irrelevant speculation. RolandR (talk) 17:42, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
