In his return to CBS since retiring from hosting Face the Nation at the end of May 2015, Bob Schieffer chimed in on the 2016 election during Monday’s CBS Evening News and trashed the “nasty, illogical” election as similar to a dysfunctional wedding that’s “half-way through the weird uncle's long, unfunny and embarrassing rehearsal dinner toast.”

Anchor Scott Pelley introduced Schieffer for the fourth segment of the newscast’s Iowa caucus coverage and asked him “how does this [election] look to you” since he’s covered every presidential campaign since 1968.
