CNN's American Morning's ratings might be up 11 percent this year, but it's not exactly the breakout success story Jon Klein would like. Maybe that's because there's so little celebrity gossip? Or even a summer fashion special? While the morning show may not veer too far in that direction anytime soon, John Roberts, the Kenny Chesney fan and Dick Cheney hater who's about to celebrate one year on the program, insists the format will get "little looser, a little more accessible, and allow Kiran and I to draw on the experiences we've had as journalists, and convey that information to viewers."

And whenever American Morning does get its new executive producer, maybe that means Roberts will tell us all about his post-9/11 experience transferring from Canadian to U.S. citizenship, since his network's most vocal critic on that little subject of immigration seems to only care when it's Mexicans crossing the border.
