The not so glamorous truth about life as a morning show reporter: When the alarm goes off at 1:45 a.m. sometimes it’s all I can do to put one foot in front of the other, so occasionally I forget things like brushing my teeth or putting on earrings. I always have dark puffy circles under my eyes (concealer is my friend) and I’m always, ALWAYS tired. Having a porta-potty at a live shot location is a luxury. I spend a good portion of time standing in the pouring rain or the freezing cold. People always ask me, “when do you get to move up and take the good shift?”. First off there really is no “good shift” in this business we all have abnormal hours, its part of the gig. While I groan when the alarm goes off, I CHOOSE to work this shift. I like being the source of news people turn to as soon as they wake up, I love our morning show team (I think we get to have the most fun), and I’m off work by the time most people are eating lunch. It may not be the glamorous life some think it is, but it’s a good life.
