Former Philadelphia News Anchor Alycia Lane lands in LA


Alycia Lane, who had a controversial stint at KYW (CBS O&O) in Philadelphia, will now be a weekend anchor and general assignment reporter at KNBC (NBC O&O). Aside from a bizarre incident in New York with a police officer, Ms. Lane was involved in a real-life drama at KYW, which led to her dismissal and the firing of a co-anchor Larry Mendte.

Mendte, who grew up in a Philadelphia suburb, pleaded guilty to hacking into Lane’s email account, and spent six months under house arrest, Mendte has recently filed a federal motion challenging his sentence. Land was also the center of a controversy involving photos of her in a bikini sent to a married man. LA might be the right town for Lane and she would probably be a welcome guest on Wisteria Lane.

    Mendte admitted to reading Lane's emails without her permission - not hacking - Lane gave Mendte her password when she was making a play for the married man.

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Image
Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
