Former CNN anchor Bill Hemmer joins Fox News Associated Press

NEW YORK — Bill Hemmer, dumped last month by CNN as co-host of its morning show, has joined archrival Fox News Channel as a daytime anchor.

Once one of CNN's rising stars, Hemmer was called the "chad lad" following his coverage of the Florida recount in 2000. CNN paired him with Paula Zahn as American Morning co-host in 2002, before she was replaced by Soledad O'Brien.

CNN said it wanted to "improve the chemistry" in the morning when it replaced Hemmer with Miles O'Brien this spring. The New York-based Hemmer was reportedly offered a White House correspondent's job at CNN but declined.

A Cincinnati native, Hemmer began his career as a weekend sports anchor in that city.

Hemmer will be a correspondent along with anchoring daytime news coverage, Fox said Tuesday.

Looking at this article, the female demos will go up in the ratings.

“Was it me or was Bill just a honey this morning? He seemed to be just beaming golden sunshine. Yummy Yummm,” writes one of the Hemmerati in a Yahoo chat room.


And on other sites: “If only I could have met him before he became a CNN god, I’m sure I’d have his baby now.”


“I want Bill tied to a chair with whipped cream on him.”


“I bet he would taste better than a hot-fudge sundae.”

Bill Hemmer is hot! I will never switch from Fox News ever again.

The crazy thing is that he looks like he is in his 20's and he's really in his 40's.

He is awesome and a Conservative. Doesn't everyone remember how he dissed Michael Moore at the RAT convention? It was priceless! I hope they can all of the "Fox and Friends" idiots (ok, they can keep Brian)

Is Linda Vester outta FOX? When I pass through there during that hour and Jerrick is doing "Dayside", I don't hear any mention of "filling in for on assignment...."

He actually seems like a decent fellow. He did a good job anchoring the pope's funeral.

When he was fired from CNN I thought Fox would be a good home for him. Maybe he'll replace those terrible weekend morning Fox & Friends anchors.

He's pretty light weight. No Brit Hume that's for sure, but I have seen Hemmer ask libs questions they didn't want to be asked. The nuts at DU hate him which can only say good things about his character.

Maybe Fox News can dip into the petty cash, and get some $$ to patch up that gap between his teeth with epoxy.
