C’mon FReepers. Who would ever name a plastic doll ‘Harris Faulkner’ unless they were intending to make fun of the newscaster?? How else did they come up with that name? I hope she is successful.......just another double standard, this time from the toy industry. Do you think they’d ever name a plastic hamster ‘Lester Holt’??
First step in naming a doll, etc is to see if there is a public personality that has a trademarkable or copyrighted name. In this case, as Harris Faulkner would be a member of SAG/AFTRA, this is clearly the case.
Her name, her product image. She has a case.
Excellent point. Wish I’d thought of it. Or Juan Williams. Or Sheila Jackson Lee.
Producer Julie McNally-Cahill described the series' demographic skewed slightly older than other series on the network's Saturday-morning block. Additionally, the series alludes to popular culture in the forms of homages and parodies. Co-creator Tim Cahill was inspired by the "quirky" humor of 30 Rock and Community, adapting their style of humor into an animated format.
And not one of the other Fox anchors — not Shannon Bream or Ainsley Earhardt or even Julie Banderas. Is Hasbro racist, saying a black anchorwoman is the equivalent of a hamster?
