I remember when E. D. Hill disappeared.
Not a word was said about why she wasn’t there or when she’d be back - then one day Gretchen Carlson showed up.
That was actually the day I turned off Fox News.
I remember E. D. Hill, she used to always call her husband Mr. Hill and Steve and Brian always called him that also...I liked those three together..it was fun back then...
Then something happened to fnc...it tanked into the sewer pits of hell...
I get the generalizations. But Gretchen left in late 05 from CBS News’ Early Show, where she was dumped and was hired by Fox News in early 06. E.D. was still on Fox and Friends until September 2006. Gretchen filled in on other shows until she was announced as replacement. E.D. announced she was moving to an afternoon slot, once hosted by Jane Skinner at around 1pm central. Skinner was morphed into a show with Jon Scott, who used to do a show with Brigitte Quinn. E.D. was abruptly fired from Fox News, leftist felt it was due to her fist bump rant, in August 08. Martha took over E.D.’s shift as her show went to two hours later in 2010 replaced by America Live with Megyn Kelly and now home to Gretchen’s hour.
The point is Gretchen was around about 7 months before E.D. left Fox and Friends. I gathered it was a mutual decision. What nobody knows is why her one hour afternoon show was ended and she was fired.
E.D Hill as told to clean out her desk and leave immediately....b/c on-air she called the just-elected Obama a monkey.
We were watching at that time as well. ED was gone so fast a year later our heads were still spinning. Can’t help but wonder how she is doing today. She is a ‘fellow Texan’ it is believed. With a large number of little Texans.
