==Rukeyser as host==
Louis Rukeyser conducted the proceedings with a wry sense of humor (including the use of [[pun]]s) and a reassuring manner. In 1980 Rukeyser explained his hosting philosophy to ''[[The New York Times]]'' as, "I am talking to one person, whom I regard as intelligent, with a good sense of humor, but not all that technically knowledgeable."{{citation needed|date=February 2020}} He instructed panelists and guests not to use technical jargon and economic theories on the show, but rather talk about making money, because, "Economics puts people to sleep. Money wakes them up."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/1992/11/19/smiles-and-bumps-as-panelist-21-years-on-wall-st-week/|title=Smiles and Bumps as Panelist 21 Years on Wall Street Week|work=Baltimore Sun|url-access=subscription|date=November 19, 1992}}</ref>
