A Very Busy CNBC Afternoon

By Ramona Schindelheim, CNBC

A very busy afternoon for CNBC in the NBCU booth. Lots of noise and excitement when Jerry Yang and Susan Decker of Yahoo stopped by. They just wanted to see what NBCU was up to.

Our media correspondent Julia Boorstin pulled Decker aside and snagged an on-camera interview. Julia then sat down for a live one-on-one interview with Anne Sweeny of Disney. A little later, during the live broadcast of CNBC's Closing Bell, Maria Bartiromo had a parade of big tech names... David Katzenberg, Dreamworks Co-founder; Roger MacNamee, Elevation Partners Co-Founder; Sharp CEO Doug Koshima; and Tony Perkins, Founder of Always On Network and Red Herring.

There was a huge crowd throughout the show, especially when Maria sat down with pro baseball players Joba Chamberlain of the Yankees and David Ortiz of the Red Sox. They had popped over from our neighboring booth, Sharp. Seems like an unlikely pair, but no punches were thrown.
