Aureus’ Karen Firestone was doing a live shot for CNBC’s Squawk Box from her home, and there is a lot to squawk about.
It is not about what the contributor said; it was going on in the background. First, her dogs started barking. Then, a man in his underwear walked behind her.
Who said business news is boring? It isn’t. At least not this time.
Yesterday, KSTP was going live with their Eagle Cam, and their eagle-eyed viewers got more than they bargained for. That is because as Matt Belanger, Brandi Powell, and Jonathan Yuhas were watching Nancy laying on top of her egg, her baby daddy came over to get laid.
I guess he was still feeling amorous after Valentine’s Day, so he decided he wanted to do a Nick Cannon and make another baby. Or as Chris Egert put it, “We might have another egg soon.”
So, today we learned more than just about the weather in Minneapolis. We learned how eagles have sex. At least he gave her a little massage as foreplay before he went all in.
I love live TV because you never know what is going to happen!
KABC’s Leslie Lopez had just started doing her weather report this morning when she had an unexpected visitor. Her 2-year-old son Nolan decided he wanted to help her tell the viewers how hot it is going to be in LA through the Super Bowl.
When you are a mom of a toddler and you are doing weather in LA, you are prepared for anything and everything. So she picked him and kept giving the forecast like none of that ever happened.
That is what being a professional is all about. My hat is off to the meteorologist.
Oh, and I also love that he was wearing green pants, so he was part of the map.
I hope he comes back for more newscasts because I don’t feel bad about it being nearly 90 degrees tomorrow.
On January 28th, Jeff Zucker (like Hooker) celebrated nine years of destroying CNN. Today, his career there was destroyed because he is having sex with Allison Gollust, a co-worker, and didn’t share that information with human resources.
As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong.
As a result, I am resigning today.
I came to CNN on January 28, 2013. Together, we had nine great years. I certainly wish my tenure here had ended differently. But it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute.
I am grateful to the thousands of incredibly talented CNN and Turner Sports employees who helped make this such a joy for me, and such a success for all of us. I wish each of you nothing but the best in the years ahead.
With gratitude and much love.
Jeff
Bye, Felicia. I hope the door hits him on the way out.
So many of my friends lost their jobs at CNN when he started. He felt that they weren’t needed so that he can kiss Donald Trump’s smelly, fat a$$. And on that note, I hope Zucker winds up working with Trump. They deserve each other.
I also hope CNN gets someone who will turn it back into a News Network again. Those were the good old days and something America needs.
Last week, Hoda Kotb tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19. This week, she is back in the studio after two negative tests.
However, her co-anchor Savannah Guthrie is home with it. But that didn’t stop her from doing the news on Today today. Proving there are still some journalists left this country that news never stops. Not even for a deadly pandemic.
