Former CNN anchor Bill Hemmer joins Fox News Associated Press
NEW YORK — Bill Hemmer, dumped last month by CNN as co-host of its morning show, has joined archrival Fox News Channel as a daytime anchor.

Once one of CNN's rising stars, Hemmer was called the "chad lad" following his coverage of the Florida recount in 2000. CNN paired him with Paula Zahn as American Morning co-host in 2002, before she was replaced by Soledad O'Brien.
CNN said it wanted to "improve the chemistry" in the morning when it replaced Hemmer with Miles O'Brien this spring. The New York-based Hemmer was reportedly offered a White House correspondent's job at CNN but declined.
A Cincinnati native, Hemmer began his career as a weekend sports anchor in that city.
Hemmer will be a correspondent along with anchoring daytime news coverage, Fox said Tuesday.
Maybe he'll replace one of those loons on the morning yukfest.
Definitely a girlie-man.
When I first saw him on CNN (before I dumped Foxless cable for satellite) I couldn't stand him. Hardly watched him since. But, I also never heard him say anything that wasn't on a printed page in front of him. Sounds like he deserves a reassessment on my part.
He looks like he should be modeling underwear in the Sears catalog.

don't know..what I DO want to know is when is she leaving..?
whoa..I thought that was Candy Crowley on the far right...
LOL!
Mens or womens?
I hope Vester is out!
Hemmer is the only reason I would turn on CNN. He did a great job--probably why CNN let him go. He is nothing but a plus for FOX. He was in the top ten bachelor's list a couple of years ago. Someone mentioned it to him and he turned red on the air. He's a good kid. I can't believe that he is 40 though.
Not if he displaces a FOX babe it isn't.
If Juliet Huddy goes, I go!
Rita had really big ankles. Needless to say she was 'let go'.
She needed them to help hold up her big ass.
What a sow.
I'd like to see Fox get Anderson Cooper too. Most interesting up-and-comer in the news biz.
Put down the crack pipe please.
Good God, what a name. She's a ringer for Morgan Fairchild, she of the big hair and small brain.
I'm right. He's young, smart, great looking, off-beat, natural, has an interesting pedigree, and is unique.
