Could anything be worse than that morning show. yikes, it's embarrassing.

How much air time does that position get? Even at FNC?

Lauren said something along the line that religion impacts many areas of the news... that it's a broader topic than many people realize.

It seems she hosted a special on religion a little over a year ago...Can We Live Without God?

Not sure, but she never did seem comfortable after the weekend line up change, when Kelly Wright started hosting. Her body language changed and she never seemed as open/friendly/comfortable with the new host. Whenever she would 'interact', she seemed to sit in an awkward position, as if she were trying to avoid talking to Kelly.

IIRC, previously, she sat in the middle host chair. When Kelly started, she moved to the extreme (viewer's) left and Kelly sat in the extreme (viewer's) right.

She is still listed on the FoxNews website schedule as weekend hostess of F&F Weekend.

I remember posting a comment about her character change when the weekend line up change first happened.

I went over to CNN for a few minutes to see how Kiren was doing. She actually seems to fit in pretty good there and I would not be surprised if she helps their ratings. Sad to see her go. By the way, did she replace Soledad??

[dforest]

I'm with you. Gretchen is wretched

Very well put. I have emailed F&F quite a few times and mentioned they needed to can her. I guess I was bored. She is boring. Snitty too!

Tiki has been hired by NBC

boo hoo

[John W]

Filling in today.

[maggief]

I quit watching F & F. Gretchen is too cold and rigid ... frigid.

Sad to see her go. By the way, did she replace Soledad??

I heard her say at one time (for the couple minutes I was watching) that she was "filling in" for Soledad.

The three guys.....Brian, Doooooocy, and Kelly are great together. Get rid of the gal and I might watch more regularly.

[dforest]

They ought to change the name to Fox and Two Friends...and gretchen.

[dforest]

If the only female they are going to provide is Gretchy , we are in agreement!

[dmw]

Funny, I emailed them too. Seems FOX management is happy with her, why I don't know.

[syriacus]

It was sure smart of CNN to snag one of FoxNews's "bigger than life" newspeople.

I'm sure that hey are hoping to grow a larger audience.. to take viewers away from Fox.

I was disappointed when Paula Zahn and Greta VanVandersloot "traded places" at CNN and FoxNews.

I don't watch either of them now.

Will CNN allow Kiran to say anything positive about right-leaning Americans?

[dmw]

Thanks. So, Kiran will be a fill in at CNN? Kinda what she did at Fox I guess.

[dforest]

I guess they will have to be bombarded and have people start tuning out. It is surprising how easy it is to ruin a show with the wrong personalities.

[FreedomPoster]

That's gonna leave a mark.

[jackv]

I swear I just saw Kiran on yesterday! I got tired of her chattiness with Allison, poor third person couldn't get a word in edgewise, but I liked her.
Maybe she will bring some balance to cnn.
Can't stand gretchen either. She is like having your classroom teacher lecturing you in the morning. ugh!

[TomGuy]

My favorite Gretchenism: "Kerry served in the military but Bush did not."

One morning, when the topic was illegals, Gretchen commented that there were about 400,000 illegals in the US.

Both Steven and Brian tried to tell her that her number was way too low. She wouldn't buy it. She didn't have a clue.

>>>By the way how's the weather in Iowa?

When it's not colder than a sorceress' bosom, it's snowing. Damn AlGore's global warming...
