Re: (dotcom) There's got to be a morning anchor (and the belated departure of Kendis Gibson?)
Until recently, the IPG (Interactive Program Guide) on my cable showed Kendis Gibson and Janai Norman as the anchors of World News Now. Today it's showing Janai Norman and Kenneth Moton as the anchors (note the order ;-)). I guess Kendis will now have to forgo those restaurant reservations he was getting on his WNN fame! You're welcome, other A-list celebrities For some of the celebrations of Kenneth's elevation, see https://www.facebook.com/ABCWorldNewsNow/videos/1226533810871167/ -Doug Elrod (d...@cornell.edu) Congratulations, KM!

It was kind of suspicious that Kendis was holding down an MSNBC show, *and* ruling THE BLUE HOLE OF BELIZE (insert picture of Kendis in Aquaman garb here), while still being a permanent anchor of WNN!

Lawrence police spokesman Patrick Compton says a man and woman grabbed the cutout at a McDonald’s restaurant Monday, ran out the door, then jumped into a car and sped away. Officers investigating a nearby two-car accident saw the cutout in one of the vehicles.

Kenneth Moton, Man of a Thousand Faces? Or, More Mugging than Usual?
He was showing some of them today, in addition to his famous "smoldering head-shot". I don't think there has been a WNN anchor, male or female, who has achieved this before.

Curiousities of the Anchor Culture?
Janai Norman was "making it rain" with SCRIPT PAGES earlier this week. Now, maybe she was just using that WNN-anchor-ingenuity to take advantage of the materials available to her. Or *maybe* it's a time-honored custom, related to a point in the distant past when a news-person was so taken with feeling that he/she used the script-pages he/she was carrying to "make it rain" upon a practitioner of exotic entertainment. At which point, a miracle occurred and an impromptu AUDITION happened (of course, the news-person's BOSS was also present). And so, a BRILLIANT ANCHORING CAREER was thus launched.
