You can be a great reporter and not be such a great talk show host.

Meaning of the quote

The quote suggests that someone who is an excellent news reporter may not necessarily be a great host for a TV talk show. Being a good reporter involves skills like research, writing, and interviewing, but hosting a talk show requires different talents like engaging with guests and keeping the conversation flowing smoothly. Just because someone is a skilled journalist doesn't mean they will automatically be a successful talk show host.
