Hosts

From 1981 to 1996, it was hosted by David Brinkley and known as '''This Week with David Brinkley'''. After Brinkley retired, Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts hosted, with the according program name change. Ever since Stephanopoulos took over, the program has been known as '''This Week with George Stephanopoulos'''.

Key features

One of the key features of '''This Week''' is the Roundtable, which includes pundits such as George Will and Fareed Zakaria, ABC News correspondents such as Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts, and others discussing the major issues of the week. Will, a panelist ever since the program's start with David Brinkley, also contributes short reports to the broadcast.
