DEAR GASIA: it's not just the 415 Media Blogger that is constantly annoyed with your OVER-THE-TOP ON-AIR shenanigans --it's your KTVU co-workers too.Hey Gaas, I know you work for Fox. I realize you have to over-MUG for the cameras but you go overboard --and guess what? You don't have to! Other air talent with much less seniority have to whip it up. You've earned some cred, Gaas, even management thinks you're kind of nuts sometimes, surely your colleagues do. I can't figure you out, Gaas.
You used to be good. Solid if not spectacular. Now you constantly MUG, both ON and off camera. The hair. OMG, the hair. Constantly shuffling and fixing. It's so unbecoming --even a twit in Tallahassee --some half-brained twenty-something chick with the IQ of a fly--doesn't engage in sophomoric shit like you, Gaas. And here's the thing: you really think it adds to your betterment? Or worse yet, are we watching your real traits? We never saw you this crazy before. And it really ( I hate to use this word), but it "sucks". You're becoming a caricature, Gaas. Don't believe me? Ask your best friend in the newsroom.*The brain-dead souls at KGO Radio that "are just following orders" from dumb ass, dickhead, Mike Anthony on taking no calls, talking about dump topics, and using the infamous "7 F's": Brian Copeland, Ethan Bear!-Man, Chipie Franklin. Copeland has to kiss ass too because his kids have jobs at KGO and when you utilize the nepotism card you have to kiss major ass.
*Disney/KGO-TV came to the conclusion that it would be far better off to pay Heather Ishimaru $20 million (she and hubby asked for $85M) than to face a very sympathetic SF jury that would have nailed Mickey and company to the max. Remember, Heather wanted some time off so she could attend to and help her special-needs son. She was rebuffed by that incompetent, no-people skills wicked witch, Trixie Watkowski, a News Director that has more baggage than the United cart at SFO.
*Juliette Goodrich is being WASTED on the weekend. Any moron with no brain knows that except KPIX. You want BUZZ? Stick Goodrich on the set at 5 with Bastida. Now. Bastida looks better, ratings do too. Send Allen Martin packing back to Fresno. Use Liz Cook on the 6 and 11. I'm not saying this is a quick fix but it sure as hell beats the alternative --oh, and even though Goodrich is a notorious gossiper with Roberta Gonzales, her on-air moxie and good looks beat Martin's scowl by miles. Then we all party hardy like it's 1999 --NO margaritas for Roby though.
*Cheryl Jennings strikes me as the kind of woman who likes "Play Misty for me."
*Hey, the morning misfits at KGO-TV that are trying to RIP OFF 'THE VIEW'? You at least have to have talent and you don't. You have wanna bees and enough amateur acts to satisfy an "American Idol" casting call. GROW UP! And enough with those STUUUUPID Promos too.
*UPDATE: Jessica Castro: great talent, LOUSY agent.
*Lisa Argen: Cool, calm and collected. And I've got a good source: trust me, they're real.
*Dave Flemming is on the short list to replace the guy that's leaving ESPN 'Sunday Night Baseball" --I tried calling calling Flem but he was on assignment tending to his cat.*KNBR State: takes it in the pants on lousy Giants; loses Warriors; uses Uber driver at night who sounds worse than an intern and buries station redneck in the morning with alleged shower show. Good thing the signal has 50,000 watts.
*Ron Lowenstein: here's the real, less mattress guy's real name.
*Armstrong and Getty: TURN OUT THE LIGHTS...
*Jon Miller: jumped the shark. Years ago.
When I saw Gasia at the Purple Island Smoke Shop in Rohnert Park, singing "Candy Ass" at the top of her lungs, I thought "Where's her leash?".
ReplyDeleteLisa is uh,all real,but I wonder about Dave's hair.
ReplyDeleteYou need Scott Hyver Vision bro.
DeleteI was really hoping Copie wouldn't jump on the "boring topic" bandwagon with Ethan Boreman and Ronn and the rest. He has always seemed like his own man and would continue to do "issues of the day" topics.
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note: what's wrong with "Play Misty for me"? Great classic movie����
Oh leave Cheryl alone. We know all too well how much you personally dislike her for reasons only you know but she's hardly on KGO any more so why waste the internet ink? Plus she's had an absolutely hellacious year after a spinal fusion surgery went bad last year. She just posted about it on Facebook a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteInstead train your keyboard on the geniuses in the KRON 4 graphics department which dumbfoundingly created a graphic for the Air Canada/SFO story last night that labeled runway 28L as runway 28R and Runway 28R as taxiway Charlie. Idiots.
So, uh, where are you getting your information about KGO not taking calls?? Has that "policy" not started yet? Cuz I flipped over to KGO for a moment, and Copie IS taking calls - on a pretty interesting topic: What would you think of a Mike Pence presidency? (At least he's given out the phone # and asked people to call in.....no one has yet - but - he's soliciting calls...)
ReplyDelete"Hey, the morning misfits at KGO-TV that are trying to RIP OFF 'THE VIEW'? You at least have to have talent"
ReplyDeleteYou're kidding, right? Those no talent hack hens on the View are AWFUL. From the black lady with the fake name who couldn't sell out a solo show at a 500 seat comedy club and relied on Robin Williams and Billy Crystal to make it to the rest of the no talent left leaning idiots. There's a reason the ratings for that show have been in the cellar for years and the show is slated for cancellation every year....
Your voice seems a bit muffled; sounds like your head is up the new guy's ass��
DeleteDid you miss "Ghost" and "Sister Act"( 1+2)? starring
Delete" the black lady with the fake name". Both did stellar box office, nationally and internationally. Do you often watch, "the View"? Sounds like it.
7:29 who sponsored this trip back to 25 years ago?
DeleteEven if Gasia has change out of control than 10 years ago when she worked for KTVU, I prefer to watch KTVU vs the other station for news I cannot trust. KRON, just like week, Darya dare to eat a banana on LIVE TV. KPIX, it is time to replace one of the anchor for trusted news. KGO, forget it, I must give credit to Jessica Castro best news delivery. KNTV, no bad except too much on San Jose and South Bay.
ReplyDeleteRich,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but you are being too hard on Mike Anthony! Lest you forget he once ran that powerhouse station in San Jose that no one ever, uhhhh, wait...no, you're right. My bad. He's a complete moron.
I'm sick to death of the KTVU staff "promotions" and the little tips on how to get more ... like the "secret algorithms" on their Facebook page that Gasia reinterates. Please, just gag me with a back scratcher.
ReplyDeleteIsn't 'The View' and KGO TV owned by ABC/Disney?
ReplyDeleteLove Lisa Argen. She is especially "prominent" after she has had a child. Lovely. Looks like a woman should look. ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to replace Dave Flemming. He has a good sense of humor and is much better than his predecessor, Joe Angel.
ReplyDeletePlease name a real, legitimate replacement for A & G? There's no Frank & Mike, Don Bleu, or Don Sherwood anymore. Q: How did Chip Franklin do the other day at 6-10? A: Worse than Drexy's Midnight Runners; a one-hit wonder. C'mon Aileen, get off your nostalgic high horse and admit you are biased (jeolousy) towards A & G and admit they are not going anywhere, but up.
ReplyDelete@Anon 7:29..A&G had horrible ratings on 910 and it's pretty low on KGO. The bay area isn't cowtown Sac. They'll be out by years end and news will take the slot and Ronnnnnn will get his hour back.
