Dave said: When he did have the chance to pick bold critics (Wesley Morris and Elvis Mitchell come immediately to mind), Roger passed.
Now me: I story I heard was that Ebert did choose Elvis Mitchell but that a screen test of him with Kristy Lemire showed little or no chemistry. I like Elvis Mitchell - The Treatment is in frequent rotation on my commute - but bold people can make for less than salubrious employees. Frankly, when I heard Mitchell had been dropped I wasn't altogether surprised.
