Rosemary Orozco over at KTVU will get a raise; a modest raise, just not the raise she was hoping for; welcome to the Fox2 business model, Rosy!*KCBS's idea to have fill-in guests while John Madden recuperates: while fine in theory, lousy in results.
Steve Mariucci, "Mooch" as the folks call him, was a certifiable dud Wednesday morning. It was artificial radio.
See, guys, Madden is the ticket. It's why nobody goes to see the opening act for a Springsteen show.
*Another surly, overrated hack at KTVU: Mike Mibach.
*Karna Small--Channel 7 News Scene weather girl circa 1972: bet you didn't think she could write backwards.
*Mark Ibanez: a picture is worth a thousand words...or maybe more.
*The real, close-up video of the cops shooting that guy with the knife was being offered to newsrooms by the guy who filmed --problem is, his asking price was way over what the Teevees were willing to pay. Thanks Internet.
*The department of Lost in Translation: "Drex Show" --again, we call it the dreck show.
*Jason Middleton: your voice sucks too.
*They're still gossiping about what Ronnnnnnnnnnnnn did at the Christmas party. Another Bay Area morning man saw it.
*Middleton is a legend: just ask him.
*Biggest winner of the CNN GOP debate: Wolf Blitzer. Even the right-wing rags were impressed.
*More bloated than Star Wars: Jan Wahl. May the yenta be with you.

"Bloated Jan Wahl?!?" She's Goddam Fat!! Call it for how it is!!
ReplyDeleteRosemary Orozco is hot for a MILF. I've been a fan since her arrival at KTVU. I just don't have sympathy for her if she wants more than $125k for doing weather. Come on! Still like her though....What did Blowensteinnnnnnnnnn do at the Xmas party? Did it have something to do with one of his favorite gadgets? Wolf Blitzer definitely did well. He was in full command especially when he kept shutting down Ted Cruz in a heated exchange. Great appearance on KSCO's Saturday Special Richard.
ReplyDeleteI remember Connie Chung saying she did the nightly news in her slip once because she spilled something on her skirt. No one could see anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd there was the old SNL sketch, back when Brad Hall did Weekend Update and introduced an SNL Weekend Update Playset: "Just take off Brad's little pants and stick him behind the anchor desk, because that's just how I do it!"
I remember veteran KPIX anchor Ben Williams showing that he was wearing tennis shorts/shoes with his suit jacket/tie.
ReplyDeleteI would ... why not be comfortable.
Hooray for Ben Williams! Mark Ibanez in shorts behind the table? C'mon, Rich, what are you wearing when blogging?
DeleteCongrats to Blitzer on handling the very divisive Cruz; it's sad how far KTVU has fallen since FOX took over; Madden & Mariucci have been business partners for years - hence Mooch often fills in when Madden is out, because even KCBS knows that Madden is irreplaceable, no matter what Lieberman or any other critic says; Small actually anchored with Dunbar at 5 before Amburg-Jensen at 6 & 11 (remember the other weathermen who backed up Giddings at 5? - hint: one or both did other feature work for KGO-TV; Wahl is clearly past her prime; and finally, because I don't want any association with any posters who have to call opposite sides of the aisle subhuman names that still insult impartial disabled people in the worst way possible, RIP to Rock's Snappy Dresser - Robert Palmer left way too soon (heavy smoker, had heart attack) and it was great to see Mighty Max in this performance. (Thank You, Rich, for sharing!)
ReplyDeleteHillary is the most divisive of them all...when the cameras are turned off.
DeleteBoth are equally bo-ring, as are the ranters that can't stop labeling people that don't agree with their politics. At least Rich's blogs always have something interesting here there and everywhere.
Delete12:47 you're so down the middle but blatanly transparent.
DeleteJan Wahl is overrated. She thinks she's IT. She's a fat tub of goo. She gives new meaning to the phrase, "Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one."
ReplyDeleteJust saw the "new" set for Mornings on 2 during their 9 a.m. hour. Looks good, but don't all of the talking heads feel so cozy and cute bantering amongst themselves. Bleech!
That's Entertainment!
Jan is a great person. I do not know why people on this board like to trash her so much. Obviously, they do not know her. Their opinions say more about them as human beings than about Jan.
DeleteDamn! Richie is going way back with the Karna Small reference. I think she's writing novels these days.
ReplyDeleteWasn't Linda Richard doing weather on KRON around this time?
DeleteJan Wahl is now a mattress saleswoman.
ReplyDeleteGive that KGO mattress salesman a run for his money...
THe Drex show, I tried again, a promising mix of three hosts-participants interacting EXCEPT, I think her name is Heather or Hester - GARBLED SPEECH! A total amateur given mike time. I could barely understand what she was saying at times. How low can KGO go?
ReplyDelete"Mooch" is a nice guy regardless. He is not a deep thinker. When he was the Niners head coach, Young and Rice really ran the offense. Once Young finally "retired" for health reasons, he was forced to "really" coach, esp w/ an "inexperienced" QB- Garcia.
ReplyDelete- The Niner
Rosemary might get a better raise if she would wear some shorter skirts. Check out Jackie Johnson (KTLA)---Google her if you have never heard of her.
ReplyDeleteSFGate has hit a new low. At #1 on their "Most Popular" is a story about a plane crash in Concord that killed 4 people including a 12 year old boy. Clicking on the link brings up a story from 2006.
ReplyDeleteOh, that wasn't the new low. The new low was a headline about Mike Rowe using the "k" word in a tweet about Bernie Sanders. He did use a word starting with "k"...knucklehead! Unprofessional at best.
DeleteI recall Karna as a weather gal in hot pants and as a pretty good anchor on KGO after her KRON days... One day when at KRON she said something to a kid who wrote her his daddy sure liked it when she did her Monterey Dip (to write the temp on the bottom of the glass) so Karna Says to the kid this is for your daddy or something similar and does a low dip with a foxified low cut top (back when foxified was a foxy gal rather than a cheap assed network)...
ReplyDeleteAh the good old days...
I always imagined Mark Ibanez having hairy sexy legs
