Erin Burnett

Erin Burnett hosts several programs now for the Peacock. Besides being a regular guest on Meet the Press, Burnett is best loved for her CNBC work daily on Street Signs and Squawk on the Street. How well loved is she? Her numbers keep delivering! Reports say that since Burnett joined both shows in 2005, Squawk’s ratings are up 142% among young adults, Street Signs 57%. Other NBC shows she regularly guest appeared on include MSNBC’s Morning Joe and NBC Nightly News.

And her funniest nickname? Maria 2.0, a suggestion that she is the Maria Bartiromo of a new generation. Burnett doesn’t agree: “People always like to have rivalries. She and I get along, but we have different styles. I don’t know if the comparison is flattering [to either one of us].”
