Constance Yu-Hwa Chung Povich, popularly known as Connie Chung, is a well-known American journalist of Chinese origin. During her career, she has worked as an anchor as well as a reporter for the U.S. television news networks such as NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and MSNBC. She launched a program Eye to Eye with Connie Chung™ which became quite popular across the country.

The program was mixed with news and celebrity-friendly feature interviews. Though the program was popular among viewers, Chung was criticized for focusing more on entertainment rather than news. In 1993, she became only the second woman to co-anchor CBS Evening News, along with being the first Asian American woman to become an anchor in a major network newscast of the United States of America. She has conducted several famous interviews as well, including that of the US Representative Gary Condit, who was interviewed after the Chandra Levy disappearance.

She also interviewed the famous basketball player Earvin Johnson after he announced publicly that he was HIV-positive. She gained controversy after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 because of an inappropriate question which she had posed to a fireman during an interview. Her question was considered highly insensitive to the situation and resulted in protest letters from the viewers. After much public outcry, she was laid off as a co-anchor of the CBS Evening.
