(FORTUNE Magazine) – A show-biz couple has split, and for once we're fairly certain Angelina Jolie isn't to blame. CNBC analysts Larry Kudlow and Jim Cramer, who formerly shared the screen on Kudlow & Cramer, recently struck out on their own. Kudlow now helms Kudlow & Company at 5 P.M., while Cramer heads up Mad Money at 6 P.M. Here's how the two stack up. -- Reed Tucker

Signature bit

KUDLOW & COMPANY

"Kudlow's Money Politic$," a conservative commentary session featuring the host's most potent visual weapon: onscreen bullet points!
