She was asked to leave her position in the show since she didn’t know enough about celebrities and didn’t argue enough in politics.
Nicolle said:
”I never thought I would get this job in a million years. I was more surprised to get it than I would have been to not get it.”
The American political analyst continued:
”I would have been more surprised if they’d kept me around because I am the original political nerd. I have loved being a part of this table.”
Wallace added:
”I have loved sitting in this chair — it was never mine but I’m lucky I got to occupy it for a little bit.”
In 2017, she started a new venture as the anchor of Deadline: White House, a one-hour late afternoon politics and news TV program.
