Frank Somerville Battling a Stomach Bug But No Covid-19 (Yet); Claudine Wing Filling In But She's Not Ready for PM Prime Time

RICH LIEBERMAN 415 MEDIA: KTVU's Claudine Wong Gets Robbed at Concord Costco

Claudine Wong has been anchoring the evening news platforms on KTVU --while a certain mainstay has been away for almost a week: Frank Somerville has been MIA but there's a reason and I'm here to give you the facts and inside dope.

Somerville is battling a major stomach bug. He's sick but don't think Covid-19 --a source close to Somerville says he doesn't have the virus but he's getting a test soon just to make sure. Somerville will be absent from KTVU tonight but should be back on Sunday.

If all goes well.

Meanwhile, Wong, who's been a morning constant is just anchoring temporarily --she's OK and doing a decent job, by her standards, but that is just a quick fix. FOX isn't looking to place her at night and why should they? Wong has the personality of week-old melba toast. There's no spark there and being paired next to Julie Haener, a shot of triple expresso would be in order. Wong is not a long term performer, so no need to adjust your viewing habits. 

And oh, by the way, she still never smiles.

  3. For VDLC, she is using medical excuses to find love.... who wants a woman with this type of background...playing hooky at work getting free $$$. Wait, welcome to San Francisco and California, the best place to get free $$$ not working.
