Koppel’s Last Nightline

I just got around to watching the final episode of Nightline by Ted Koppel and his team — it’s now transitioned to a new multi-anchor format. For their last show, Koppel & Co. revisited their interviews with Morrie Schwartz, the dying Brandeis professor who wanted to talk about death on TV. Mitch Albom saw the original interview — and of course we all know what happened after that.

But the final episode was grand, and so is Koppel’s style and the Nightline tradition. I’ll miss it.

But Koppel might be back sooner than we think.
