I dont find Stevens interesting. He brings name recognition to a national audience. If you are in the Executive Producer's shoes, you can't afford all the talent to be devoid of a brand. It takes many hours to fill an immense amount of work quickly. Who is out there has a brand name and knows how to integrate with a 5-plus hour telecast? I am sure a few aren't employed, but it isn't a huge list. He is dreadful. As for me, I like Frank Lyons, who is on the show from time to time. He is in the bag half the time and picks the 3/5 shot all the time, but he is at least entertaining.
