Daryn Kagan is very beautiful.
Daryn Kagan hosts CNN Live Today. She is also a news contributor to American Morning. Based in the network's world headquarters in Atlanta, Kagan joined CNN in 1994.
Previously, she anchored Live This Morning with Leon Harris, covering a wide range of stories - from the Egyptian Air crash to behind-the-scenes entertainment reports on location at the Academy Awards. She also served as host of People in the News during the profile-format program's debut year in 2001.
In March 2003, Kagan traveled to Kuwait to report for the network on the regional issues during Operation Iraqi Freedom. She provided reports on a variety of subjects, including the possibility of chemical warfare, the Kuwaiti perspective and issues revolving around humanitarian aid.
In February 2003, she helped anchor CNN's ongoing breaking news coverage of the Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy that claimed the lives of seven astronauts when it was lost over Texas en route for landing at Kennedy Space Center. The next day, Kagan traveled to Cape Canaveral, Fla., where she continued reporting from Kennedy Space Center. In October 2002, Kagan traveled to Maryland and Virginia to cover live for CNN the investigation and hunt for the D.C.-area sniper. In May 2002, Kagan reported live as she traveled with rock band U2's Bono and U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill as the duo toured sub-Saharan African nations in a 10-day trip planned to evaluate and highlight development assistance efforts. Kagan reported from Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa and Uganda and her reports, which included numerous exclusive interviews, ran on CNN/U.S., CNN Headline News, CNN International, CNN Radio and CNN.com. In October 2003, Kagan covered the wildfires in California from the scene.
Kagan was on the air live just minutes after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks began. She reported throughout that day and has continued to cover the unfolding event from CNN's world headquarters in Atlanta as well as the network's Washington, D.C. bureau as the crisis turned into a search-and-rescue mission that evolved into a war on terrorism.
Additionally, Kagan played an instrumental role in CNN's Election 2000 coverage, conducting interviews with the presidential candidates and reporting live from the floor of the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles as well as reporting on the drawn-out post-election presidential dispute over Florida's contested ballots.
Before joining the news team on CNN/U.S., Kagan was an anchor and reporter for CNN/Sports Illustrated, the 24-hour sports news network from CNN and Sports Illustrated. Additionally, she also anchored morning sports updates on CNN.
Kagan served as a general assignment news reporter at KTVK-TV in Phoenix. During her tenure, she received three local Emmy Award nominations and was named top reporter in the seven-state Rocky Mountain region. Her first television job was at KEYT-TV in Santa Barbara, Calif., where she worked as an anchor and reporter.
Kagan earned a bachelor's degree in communication and American studies from Stanford University.
She looks like Sandra Bullock to me.
