Robin Roberts, who before Good Morning America was a major presence in Connecticut as part of ESPN, has been chosen to emcee the ticker tape parade planned for the U.S. Women’s Soccer team later this week in New York City.
The parade starts at 11a.m. and marks the first time in more than three decades that New York has hosted a parade for a winning team not based in NYC.
Lisa Desjardins is a quirky personality worth watching. We first took note of her on New Year’s Eve 2012 when the U.S. Capitol press corps had last minute fiscal cliff negotiations staked out. Desjardins showed up at midnight in New Year’s Eve party attire urging her colleagues to celebrate with her. Back then she was working mostly for CNN radio. She then got national notice when she was laid off from CNN and posted this video.
Now she is with the PBS Newshour and has just been promoted to political director. If her personality is allowed to come through she could end up as a cross between Chuck Todd and Bill Geist(the elder).
We told you this is one to watch.
Former CNN anchor Lynne Russell continues to make news after she and her husband were involved in a gunfight at a New Mexico Motel 6.
You have to wonder whether there is more to this story. Don’t you? The picture of her wedding cake offers the first clue. Nothing unusual here!
