If you’re a political freak who had one-too-many cocktails last night (perhaps you were watching the Blackhawks game?), leading you to sleep in and miss the Sunday talk show bonaza, I’ve got a roundup for you.

This Week on ABC News was the best of the bunch this Sunday. George Stephanopoulos had an engaging back-and-forth with President Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Topics ranged from health care to the economy and they even hit on the possible prosecution of former Bush administration officials (Rahm says ‘no’). Check out the video here.

Over on the dying-by-the-week Meet the Press on NBC, David Gregory had an exclusive with White House National Economic Council Director Larry Summers. The man with the longest title in the world had quite a bit to say about the current state of our economy. If you missed it, you can watch the interview here.

Face the Nation on CBS had a decent lineup this week. Bob Schieffer chatted with Senior White House Advisor David Axlerod and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. There was also and interesting discussion with Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association. Catch up with Face the Nation here.

The most interesting segment of Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace this week didn’t even make it to air. The FNS after show, Panel Plus, had a great give-and-take about the release of detainee interrogation documents by the Obama administration. I’ll embed the video below.

Finally, on CNN’s epically long (the show runs from 9AM to 1PM ET) State of the Union, John King interviewed Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano about a controversial DHS report on ‘right wing extremist threats’ in the United States that was widely viewed as disparaging to war veterans. Video of that interview should be up shortly on SOTU’s CNN website.
