One Year Later: World Still Coming To Terms With Nic Robertson’s Hair Starting Saturday, CNN will begin a 19-part series on Robertson’s hair to help its audience relive that traumatic event and maybe sell them an online trading account during commercial breaks. In its first episode entitled "Those Freaky Follicles On Nic’s Head: America Remembers," Irene Szabo, of Santa Barbara, California, recounts her reaction to viewing the initial shots of Robertson’s hair coming in from the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul. "My husband called me in from the kitchen and said ‘would ya get a load of that. I can’t believe it,’" recalled Szabo, upon glimpsing Robertson’s disheveled forelocks as the Afghan winds blew them over his eyes. "I remember thinking to myself, here CNN is paying a fortune to send him over there and get him hooked up to a videophone. Can’t they afford a comb? Or did the Taliban confiscate it?" she added. Later in the program, a team of experts will join host Paula Zahn to fill in the remaining 20 hours of the program in order to tell us how they first reacted to Robertson’s hair and why we should hang on every word of their infinite expert wisdom with bated breath.
A year after its disturbing image was first flashed on television screens, people around the world are still struggling to come to grips with CNN correspondent Nic Robertson’s hair.
