Does Keith Morrison on Dateline

[Bella the Ball 360]

Drive you crazy? I hate to listen to him speak he is so overly dramatic I feel like I am listening to Shakespeare performed by the most dramatic actor in the world!

 

[rie'smom]

Yes, he could probably say, The bathroom is down the hall" and make it sound dramatic. If he wiggled his eyebrows alittle more he'd look loke a cartoon.

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

He looks like Thomas Jefferson or is it Andrew Jackson?

 

[Beanboy34]

Yeah, I just watched an episode of Dateline. I cant frickin stand that guy! He ruins the show with his rediculous narration. I mean seriously, are you reading us a dramatic novel or hosting a serious show. Not only that but in one part he's wearing high top sneakers. Are you for real!! What are you trying to be 15 years old? You're a grown man. God I cant stand that douche bag.

But how do you really feel?

According to Wikipedia he was born in 1947 -- I woulda guessed he was much older.

Trivia and completely useless information-He is Matthew Perry's (Friends) stepfather.

But I love the SNL skit

 

[Kim&Chris]

He's the William Shatner of journalists.

His voice, and looooong drawn out narration make me want to hurl the remote at the TV.

But I love the SNL skit

I had only seen the skit and never an episode. I saw an epsiode on youtube. The fact that Bill Hader wasn't too far off was hilarious!

 

[Robinrs]

I love him~~

I find him unique and interesting, but I do understand how he can drive someone insane.

 

[mumto3girls]

I only watch Dateline when it is a whodunit type show and I rethink he is great on those. His voice is perfect for that type of show IMO.

 

[christineann]

His voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. I can't watch him.

Agreed. I'd rather a narrator (he is by no means a journalist) be dramatic than monotonous.

My sister and I ADORE him!

We absolutely love the way he talks. My sister will call my voicemail and say things like, "Your husband was a mild mannered family man from a small town... or WAS he?"

Makes me laugh every time. Big Keith fans!

I just mute or change the channel when a show bothers me. Never watched him on there.

 

[Sabeking]

I think he is ok. Does anyone remember the original narrator of City Confidential? Paul Winfield ( died in 2004)...now that guy had an amazing way of drawing you into the story!

 

[antmaril]

I love Keith Morrison. I really enjoy his Dateline Mysteries and love the way he tells the story. I am a fan.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Love him! And he seems like he would be a great guy IRL. I think his voice is perfect for the Dateline stories.
