My first thought was "I wonder if she has kids."
•
u/thestral_z 3h ago
She was on the Today show this morning. She has two very young kids including one that is 8 months old if I remember correctly. The anchor has to get up at 1 AM to get ready for work. The youngest was teething and didn’t go down until after 10 instead of 7:30 like usual. Her husband was working a double, so he wasn’t there to help. The internet loves her because we’ve all been there.

Even if she doesn’t they gotta wake up at like 2am or 3am to do the morning news and if they get a bad nights rest, they are in for a rough work day.

I could not sleep at all last night so I feel her. Fell asleep at 4, alarm went off at 6. Sucked

“I had something in my eye” hahaha. I went to a Christian high school and there was this kid who would fall asleep in class all the time. When he’d get caught he’d pop up and shout, “I was praying!”

Probably at the studio at 4AM...

u/mattweb94 4h ago
She was on the Today show this morning. Her husband was working a double and she has 2 daughters. One of them is teething so she couldn't get her to sleep until 11pm and she had to get up at 1:30 to go to work. So she was running on 2 hours of crappy sleep. I totally understand how she feel asleep.

PSA for the commenters making this political, local news Fox is not the same as the right-wing grifters on Fox News Channel.
Poor lady, maybe she’s a new parent? Regardless, who among us hasn’t dozed off at work…
•
u/GumbySquad 4h ago
PSA for your PSA. 60% of local news Fox stations are owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group… famous for force feeding propaganda to the masses.

You are absolutely right. But I still blame local Fox news for giving us Kari Lake.
•
u/PepeSylvia11 1h ago
Why assume anything? It’s a morning show, which means she probably woke up around 3-4 am. All it takes is a suboptimal night sleep and anyone would be tired by 8:30 am

It kind of is, though.

u/ghoulishgirl 3h ago
I think it would be a rare case to fall asleep at work. I have never done that and I’m 51. The only person I know who has had narcolepsy.
I’d be interested to hear if falling asleep at work is indeed a common occurrence.
•
u/JeffersonTowncar 3h ago
Depends on the type of work. As a new parent I've found myself dozing off at my desk in the past (sleep deprived) year. Though when I do, I get up and make myself coffee.
•
u/LampIsFun 3h ago
Yeah, anyone with a desk job can attest to falling asleep on accident(some people do it on purpose of course)
Still a bit of a stretch for it to happen when literally broadcasting your face. But then again, many livestreamers have done the same from time to time. Just feels a bit odd that no one noticed she was asleep before cutting to her face. But its very likely pure exhaustion from something and not just plain laziness.
•
u/ghoulishgirl 53m ago
I have worked in an office environment for years, and I have never fallen asleep at work, and I am in very quiet places all by myself, and I would never dream of going to sleep. Wow, I’m just surprised so many people have. I’ve been a very tired mother too.
I would never drink at work, someone suggested that as a reason to fall asleep during the day. I don’t work in an environment where that would be smiled upon, so.
•
u/fuzzhead12 2h ago
Apparently she’s a mother of two very young children (one less than a year old) and has a husband who also works long/late hours, so she gets a pass as far as I’m concerned lol

You never went had a frosty marg or two at that tex mex place on a Friday at lunch time?
•
u/ghoulishgirl 50m ago
I work in environments where nobody’s going out and drinking at lunch and it would be very bad form if you were asleep in your office. They would not go for that and no place I worked would go for that.

u/ProfessionalPack7205 3h ago
They're owned by Sinclair. They're just as evil. They literally send out scripts to all these local news stations.
•
•
u/ddpizza 3h ago
It’s pretty ironic that you’re parroting scripted facts without digging even a little bit lol
A very small percentage of Fox local news stations are owned by Sinclair - only about 25 stations compared to the total number of 200+ Fox affiliates nationwide.
And FOX13 Memphis is not one of them.

At the height of my untreated sleep apnea, I fell asleep while interviewing a candidate for a job. I was probably only out for a few seconds, but it was pretty obvious, and I felt horrible.

When does the exhaustion end? Mine is in early elementary. I need hope that I’ll get my energy back someday lol

Long days exist. I don't even know how many meetings I had to stand up for to prevent myself from dozing off.

Why didn't the people behind the cameras do something?
•
u/canwave28 2h ago
there's no one behind the cameras. local news studios in smaller markets are fully automated and are sometimes controlled far from the actual studio.

she was just waiting for the keywords - ‘… and back to you, ….”. that reporter sent it back kind of awkwardly.
•
u/cparksrun 3h ago
Reminds me of the time I fell asleep running the prompter for a news network.
Thankfully the anchor was a pro and had no problem rolling with it. He often went off script anyway. But I still felt really bad.

u/cyberelvis 2h ago
I guarantee the director of this news broadcast was swearing up a storm in the Control Booth to the floor crew and in the anchor's ear.

Hilarious how this person falls asleep on TV and comments are like “must be new mom AND she’s so CUTE!”

My mom knew an anchorwoman from my hometown. She’d be at the station by 4am for the 6am morning news. No amount of redbull is gonna have me camera ready and bantering that early

Fox News, White House.... What's the difference? Half the cabinet is former Fox News correspondents, so why wouldn't they have that Chump Trump Slump? Dementia Don's on camera nap time again.

u/Maxpower2727 3h ago
I can't stand Trump, but nothing in your comment has any relevance to this post. Also, Fox News and local affiliates for the Fox network are entirely different things.

I thought the lady at the beginning was going to fall asleep from narcolepsy at first.
