Well if anyone is the poster child for having children "out of wedlock" Sam....
Sorry, don't watch the 9 AM show anymore. Can't stand the term "water cooler buzz" and from the sound of it - no one else does either.
I'm convinced you are the one who encourages Warren to continue to do those UNFUNNY skits. You're the only one laughing Sam....God, you people just don't get it. WE'RE NOT WATCHING ANYMORE!

Blog Baiting. Nice. Still not gonna make me watch the 9, Sam. So desperate, so sad.

I guess this means that tomorrow we'll be seeing a skit of Jessica pushing a baby carriage with Warren in it. (Yawn!)

Sorry, anonymous, but Warren's skits are HILARIOUS!!! They're one of our favorite parts of the show.

If you're not watching because of them, so long. Go watch Fox or some other show while we, the fans, continue to love the skits.

Meanwhile, Sam, stop trying to push babies off on people. Jessica seems like a sweet, wonderful person who'd make a great mother, but there's a reason that typically it's better for a couple to be married and established before they even THINK about having a baby.

I know that babies are often merely a fashion accessory in Hollywood, but I'm sure Jessica can easily find something other than raising a human for the rest of her life to fill her time.

Meanwhile, a note to Jessica - enjoy being somewhat bored. Someday not too long from now you'll look back in fond remembrance of the days in which you had time on your hands.

Still not watching the 9 a.m. show.

My response is this

Have all of you at KTLA been smoking the mowie wowie. Hell I get more entertaining topic info from Tom Leykis then from you guys.

Wow things must be really rough on the home front. I have to agree with you Sam doing a fantasy story about Jessica and George would be a great topic for the "WCB" better known to viewers as "WTF"show. It's getting so bad now I just find myself smiling at the television while watching you , and believe me I am not smiling with you.

Jessica is to much into herself to have a baby. I can see her forgetting to feed it or going to work and leaving it alone at home. She could never shut up long enought to get pregnant. The new hour is 10 percent better but the three women keep cutting everyone else off. Michaela I just bought a new jet ski, will you send me one of your dress's so I can cover it. That Elizabeth Espinosa should be fired after monday's interview with a student whose favorite teacher died in the helicopter crash. The girl was saying how much she meant to her and the other kids there. Then the stupid reporter pops off to the kid that the teacher was badly burned in the crash, just the picture to leave the kid with. Fire her if she is that stupid, but it's ok because the owners are also if they let her get by with this. Really looking out for people's feeling while out in the field.

SAM SAYS

The "water-cooler buzz" has been branded as the most candid 20 minutes in all of local television, and I actually think that is true.

Hum, branded by whom? Ebert & Roper? I'd liked to brand the "water cooler buzz" as something and the word I'd choose would not be "candid" it would be more like "awful", "sleepy time", "bloody rancid", "choke yourself on a cup of water at the water cooler hour". Those descriptions are a much better fit for the new happy hour. Good luck!

Oh yeah Rick ouch on the Michaela statement a little much for me, but I am with you on the Elizabeth story. When I saw her standing there to report about the story before the school opened I said to myself, why on God's earth would they send her to cover a story as delicate as this and sure enough she botched it up as usual. Send Gayle, Eric or Bill to cover those stories let Elizabeth do what Jessica does, nothing.

It is 6:41 in the morning and I just woke up to the Morning News. First where is Eric? Second, please tell me that I didn't hear Gayle say she was doing a story on bathing suits for full figured women. HOW MANY FASHION SHOWS MUST ONE WATCH?

Below is my picket sign...

No more Fashion Topics! No more Fashion Topics! No more Fashion Topics! No more Fashion Topics!

Come on KTLA get your shit together and hurry up about it!!!

SAM, WHAT CAN I SAY, ANOTHER GREAT BLOG.
I RAALLY LOVE WARREN AN HIS SKITS, WARREN KEEP IT UP.
BOB PALMER

For people who no longer watch the 9am show you guys sure know alot about the show the skits..man you even take the time to reply to a blog online about a show you dont watch. Impressive. Any Sam, tell Jessica I think she is a beautiful woman, we should party sometime & enjoy life right now because nothing last forever, not even life itself.

Chris Bowen says; "For people who no longer watch the 9am show you guys sure know alot about the show the skits."

Don't be a Doofus!
You must have missed where we spoke that we STILL WATCH PRIOR TO 9 AM and see those horrible skits PRIOR TO 9 AM! We still hear them PRIOR TO 9 AM talk about "coming up on the water cooler buzz".

We haven't stopped watching PRIOR TO 9 AM yet!

So Chris - just so we're clear WE ARE STILL WATCHING PRIOR TO 9 AM.
But, we are NOT watching AFTER 8:59 AM.
Hope that clears it up for you.

Sam,

Get a copy of "Purpose Driven Life" for you and Jessica.

Sorry Sam,

I watched the new, new 9AM show. It still needs a lot of work. I have sent in email to this fact. They have like others in the past have been ignored. From what I have see, the lame "Water Cooler Buzz" is just Jessica and Michaela talking over everyone else. You and Mark trying to get your opinions in. It's a mess. Till more changes are made or the 9AM show is returned to the want it was before March 14, I not going to watch so it's back to GDLA for me.
As for Jessica having a baby. Are you crazy? This is a women who has said she has no savings and worries about her future at KTLA. If Jessica needs anything it's classes in how to be a news reader. How not to talk over others, what to do with her hands, how not to "mug" the camera, doing your homework before an interview. You know the basics one gets from experience. And if she was to want a child. I may be old fashion, but I think she needs to find a husband first, not just a sperm donor. If you feel Jessica needs something in her life to take care of get her a Chia pet. No, Sam, like the 9AM format, this is a dumb idea. A really dumb idea. A really, really dumb idea.

Sam, are you nuts?!? Recommending that Jessica have a baby is crazy. She needs to grow up, but having a baby isn't the way to do that.

The little skit of Jessica calling 411 to get George Clooney's phone number was incredibly stupid and immature.

Good heavens.

Dear Sam

I think that I would recommend that Jessica get a hug from AMMA when she is here in June and she would have the opprtunity to feel the greatest love of all.

Thanks
Manju

Sam, you and Eric were both thinking about fathers yesterday - from opposing points of view.

Eric wants fathers to be more responsible and involved in their children's lives. While you're advocating that Jessica make yet another baby's daddy and raise the child solo. Who among us sees George Clooney getting married anytime soon, if ever? Maybe you two (Eric/Sam) should talk.

While I agree parenthood is a rewarding phase of life, motherhood is not the panacea to all life's dilemmas.

At 31 Jessica is still young enough to find all sorts of pursuits to enhance her life. TRAVEL. See the world. VOLUNTEER. Do something for the planet. MENTOR a young girl and change a life.

Motherhood is sacred and requires a lot of work and commitment. Let's hope when Jessica does have a baby she'll have done it all and is ready to settle down with a husband, house and a dog. Raising a child alone in this day and age, let alone this town, isn't an easy job.

As for George. He's probably going to be fertile for many years to come. Just in case, ask him to bottle it. Maybe she'll be ready in 5 years. ;o)

Most of you are missing the point. Becoming a parent changes your entire focus on life. You begin to see the world through a child's eyes.

You crawl on the floor to see what a crawler might accidentally grab and swallow, and can see how a baby views the world... everything is HUGE!

You tie a toddler's shoe in the grocery store, and realize that all your child can see is the goodies on the lower shelves (put there on purpose just for them), and thinks people are just knees.

You get to watch the wonder in their eyes when they go to their first Disney movie, or go to a circus.

As adults, we've forgotten most of that. A child lives day by day, adults can do that, too.

I have to guess that Jessica's "not having a life" means that she spends all her time working, preparing for work, and sleeping when she can. This is true of a great many women in today's hectic business world. And finds very little time socializing and meeting new friends (and dating).

Jessica, open up your dayplanner and schedule some of that precious off-time to call a friend and meet for coffee, go to a bookstore and sit in on a book club, take up knitting at a craft store club, join a bowling league. Step outside of your usual box and learn something new.

As for the fellas, as soon as you stop looking, they'll be lined up at your door.

ok, call me out of it. I thought I had heard last week someone mention Sam had 4 kids, and I thought I had obviously misheard.

Perry, Rory, ok there was the baby born around the time of the Christmas parade a couple of years ago....but there's another one?

Sam, maybe *you* need a different hobby? :)

Does Jessica have Tourette Syndrome? She is ruining what you are trying to do from 9 to 10. Maybe she should sit down and watch The View so she can see that the format you are trying to do is a panel discussion, not the Jessica Holmes Show.

FYI Friends, It was a "management decision and not Eric's" to remove him from the 5 - 7 AM Morning News!
Well, I no longer watch the 9 AM show on KTLA anymore, and starting Friday, May 30th I will be watching EYEWITNESS NEWS from 5 - 7 AM now!
Someone still resides at KTLA that is making disastrous decisions and should still be shown the door! I have never seen a more blatant disregard for the truly talented ON CAMERA talent as KTLA shows their long term anchors!

Are you crazy, Sam! What a STUPID blog. I checked out the Water Cooler Buzz yesterday (after it was posted on the internet, since I no longer watch the 9am hour on TV) and was so disgusted by the 'I Need A Life' segment that I couldn't watch the rest of the 'Buzz' and switched that off too. To me that just confirmed my opinion of Jessica. She is an empty-headed, vapid, 31 year old woman acting like an over exuberant teenager. She would do well to fill her time in taking voice lessons, taking a broadcast journalism 101 class, or yoga lessons to calm her down. As for George Clooney, I hardly think Jessica would be his cup of tea!

Sam, you are an idiot and I don't think you've gathered much sympathy for Jessica with your latest blog.

And, Rick, your comment on Michaela was way out of line. You should apologize for that.

Sam says; "The "water-cooler buzz" has been branded as the most candid 20 minutes in all of local television, and I actually think that is true."

WTF? I want PROOF of that Sam. You had to have dreamt such said "branding". Thank God Dreams are Free Sam. But then again, you are a legend in your own mind!
