Kyra Phillips NOW
So my friends can roll their eyes and tune out now - for this is an unsolicited open letter to the peeps down at CNN. Now, as all y'all know, I watch a goodly amount of the cable news outlet, and I've been a steady watcher since my mom first ordered cable back in - gack! - 1983. Anyway, this all, naturally, nore than qualifies me to weigh in on staffing decisions at the Time Warner subsidiary, so you bitches best put on your mouseears and listen up. :-)
Please, please do something with Paula Zahn and give Kyra Phillips the slot now occupied by the often ludicrous Paula Zahn Now. You an even keep the sensationalist "Out In The Open" motif. But Kyra Phillips, during her week as anchor during Zahn's vacation, was more charismatic and likable than Zahn - with those damn fluttering eyelids - has ever been. Phillips was all business when it was appropriate, moderated the discussions with ease, asked interesting questions, and rightfully couldn't keep a straight face during red-meat segments like "Is There a Secret Indoor Pot Farm In Your Neighborhood?"
And move her to New York. She looked so luminous under the New York studio lights, I couldn't take my eyes off her. And no fluttering eyelids. :-)
