We were watching that train wreck. My wife goes "I thought when he was like that on Raw it was just an act." Oh no honey. Sadly it's very very real.

I'm on my knees, I've lost my notes..."

Robin Baumgarten is a mess of a chick. She isnt great looking to begin with, but she used to live across the street from me and I would see her at the cleaners, it was scary. And every time I see her on that WGN Kids morning playhouse, she just reminds of the chunky drunk chick

That was about as good as she could ever look. I would imagine if you saw her in the studio the caked on makeup is thick enough to stick your finger in. (or any other parts)

And every time I watch her she is giggling like she is drunk.

Its a much better watch when Erin McElroy subs for her.

Yes, she purdy. You know McElroy has already thought of a thousand ways to get Robin out of that seat and make it hers. Or dream big and get onto a station that has a national network of affiliates.

who the fuck has the time to turn on a the TV

I really dont know the WGN audience or any morning TV audience, I am amazed is it even popular. With the exception of when I was 6 and watched early morning cartoons, who the fuck has the time to turn on a the TV, except for housewives and the unemployed. Guessing Robins glumpy image might work with that crowd. Roseanne, Rosie, Oprah they all connected with the Bon bon crowd.

I like Robin. She's funny, quick witted, self deprecating. She's good on that show. Just enough serious too when necessary.

I gotta figure Baumgarten knows it too. A much prettier anchor sitting 10 ft away from you every morning being relegated to traffic while you get to sit in the big chair.

What you guys need to realize is that the WGN morning news is more Morning Zoo than Morning News by choice. They (and Robin) know she's a mess. I think that once they get the opportunity, Erin will take her place in a heartbeat. They've already got her doing the early hours before Robin takes over and she goes into the traffic beat.

Look @ Paul Conrad. He acts as though he isn't a meteorologist. He's just some guy, off the street, no tie, giving the weather. It's a part of their schtick. Robin's a mess. He doesn't give a shit. Erin is hot. Larry suffers through it all. Pat's the schlocky sports guy. Dean's there to get another paycheck.
