New York, NY (AHN) - Fox News has hired former CBS Early Show Host Gretchen Carlson as a regular part of the Fox anchor team. Carlson will make her debut on the number one rated cable network on June 20th. "I am thrilled to be joining Fox News, especially at a time when they are skyrocketing through the industry," said Carlson.

According to her CBS Bio, Carlson is the recipient of three American Women in Radio and Television National Awards, for an investigative report on day care and for a 30-part series on domestic violence; two Ohio Press Club Awards, for Best Newscast in Ohio and a First Place citation for public service reporting (1997); and two local Emmy Awards (1994, 1996).

Carlson was born in Anoka, Minnesota. She graduated with honors from Stanford University in 1990 with a degree in organizational behavior and studied at Oxford University in England. In 1989, Carlson became the first classical violinist to win the Miss America title.

She has one child.

[nuffsenuff]

The rules.

[r9etb]

[ladtx]

She has one child.

So I suppose we can assume she's married?

[StormEye]

She should let her hair grow longer.

[MeanWestTexan]

Nice, but no Kirin Chetry or Juliet.

[snarkytart]

Here ya' go perv!..LOL J/K

[Michael Goldsberry]

Yowza! Sit her next to Kiran, both wearing a miniskirt, and I'll never get any work done again.

[CurlyBill]

Agree.

[My Favorite Headache]

My bad....sorry...

[Semper Paratus]

Definitely a Valkyrie!

[My Favorite Headache]

Yep.

[GulfWar1Vet]

Exactly.

Kiren and Juliet...hubba, hubba!

[cicero's_son]

She should let her hair grow longer.

Shhh...Pissant will hear you.

[dangus]

Hardly unattractive, but for a former Miss America, she is no way near Kirin Chetry, Lauar Eggleston, Laurie Dhue, Heather Nowart, or the Fox Friends Anchorbabes.

[CurlyBill]

Let's not forget Laurie Dhue and Patti Ann Browne...

[johnb838]

I would have preferred the White Ho, but it looks like she will do. At it won't irritate me just to look at her the way it did with Rita.

[Liberty Valance]

Yawza

[GulfWar1Vet]

Where does she stand politically? Don't know, never watch cBS.

[johnb838]

They're all libs anyway.

[CurlyBill]

You might be thinking of Jennifer Eccleston.... who is now with NBC. How in the hell did FoxNews let her get away?????

[My Favorite Headache]

Judging her from her CBS reporting where she had no other choice but to report biased scripts,it's hard to tell.

[MeanWestTexan]

Juliet often strikes me as a little hungover on Saturday morning. Makes her more attractive for no particular reason.

[GulfWar1Vet]

OH mostly definantly NOT forget about those two..especially Laurie. Man..those legs of her...whoohoo!

[CurlyBill]

[dfwgator]

I'm still waiting for Fox to steal Rudi Bakhtiar from CNN.

[writmeister]

She is married to Casey Close -- a sports agent with IMG.

[GulfWar1Vet]

Oh, you HAD to post that pic, didn't ya!? ;I am at work and now I can't work no more because of that image is gonna stay in my head ALL afternoon! LOL

[clintonh8r]

Not related to the egregious Margaret, I hope....

[GulfWar1Vet]

I wonder what Juliet looks like when she is TOTALLY wasted? LOL

[DTogo]

Megyn Kendall's my new favorite, and I'm normally not partial to blondes.

[colorado tanker]

Perfect thread for a Friday!

[verity]

Obviously, this is a panacea for no-news days.

[spiffy]

I can't believe noone's mentioned Dari Alexander yet. Is she still with Fox news? Every time I see her on TV I could swear that she's looking at me and me alone!

[pookie18]

If she's the one I'm thinking of, she's a Republican...

[rwfromkansas]

I seem to remember liking her whenever I saw her, but that wasn't much.

What an impressive career jump to not even have a degree in journalism and win so many awards and go to FNC like she is doing.

[Dead Corpse]

Gretchen was a Senior when I was a Sophmore. She was in the same orchestra class. She played violin and I was a viola.

She was a lot hotter back then.

[MeanWestTexan]

"Every time I see her on TV I could swear that she's looking at me and me alone!"

That's actually a recognized disorder in the DSM-IV, I believe.

But as long as you don't think she can hear you when you talk to her, I guess it's OK.

Haji..ROCKS!

[My Favorite Headache]

Rita is a pudgie histrionic nutbag.

[My Favorite Headache]

Not so quick...has MJ's jury gone home for the day?

[11Bush]

Just hold your cover in front of your crotch and no one will notice.

[hobbes1]

Juliet and Jane Skinner.......

[ladtx]

Odd the way it was stated in the story.

She has one child.

You'd think it would be: She's married and has one child.
