Ken Hoffman’s one of the few reasons to read the local newspaper, and he’s certainly on a roll today as he takes aim at KPRC-2:
In case you missed it, Channel 2 anchor Dominique Sachse’s heavily promoted “secret that she couldn’t tell anybody, not even her co-workers” was … she’s pregnant.
Congratulations to Dominique. She’s one of the good people of Houston TV. But whew! What a relief.
Because, as a veteran watcher of the Jerry Springer Show, I can tell you — when a good-looking woman has a secret to reveal, and she can only do it on television — usually it’s “I’m really a guy.”
Of course, this revelation starts a major brawl with her unsuspecting boyfriend (a whole other issue). The wig generally is yanked off first.
A few minutes after Sachse fessed up, weatherman Frank Billingsley announced that he was pregnant, too. Not to question anybody’s news judgment, but shouldn’t Billingsley have been the lead story?
At least he came in from the weather garden for Sachse’s big announcement.
The rest of Hoffman’s column is here. There’s more good stuff about KPRC, Calvin Murphy, and … well, just go read it.
