It caused a great deal of controversy in early 1995 when Chung was interviewing then-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's mother, Kathleen. Chung asked her what her son thought of then-First Lady Hilary Clinton, and when Kathleen didn't answer right away, Connie said she could whisper and it could be between them. Subsequntly, Ms. Gingrich's microphone volume was turned up, and her reply was "He thinks she's a bitch", which sparked instant attention. Congressman Gingrich complained publicly, saying the network "took advantage" of his mother. The unwanted publicity to both Chung and CBS News contributed to Chung being dropped as co-anchor of the Evening News in May 1995, which led her to leave the network altogether. Eye to Eye would continue airing until that August, although the "With Connie Chung" was dropped from the title. 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
