Why he might be annoying
He suffers from depression.
He is probably the most boring monotone interviewer on TV.
He rarely displays emotion, and is basically a corpse when he is not asking the questions.
He has been married three times.
He had a brief stint as a Broadway actor.
His journalistic credentials and tactics have been questioned at times.
Twice he was entangled in libel cases. His report about Colonel Herbert, questioned a whistle blower's veracity about war crimes. Herbert sued Wallace's producer.
When Wallace interviewed General William Westmoreland for the CBS Reports documentary 'The Uncounted Enemy: A Vietnam Deception,' an investigation of the documentary charged that the producers had violated standards of fairness, and Westmoreland sued the network. The charges Wallace aired ...'conspiracy to cover-up the size of Viet Cong troop strength.'
He was handcuffed and arrested after a dispute with a TLC inspector who was talking to his double parked driver (August 11, 2004).
