I’m sure it’s not easy being the host of a morning news show… what with the crazy early hours, the constant smiling and banter, the co-hosts. The local FOX affiliate’s contribution to the genre is something called Good Day New York, now apparently hosted by some new anchors. To promote these personalities they’ve put together some ads where they sit down and get real with each other. For me, this one gets a bit too real (apologies for the camera phone video):
