She is back!!

It doesn’t get more fun for me than this!  Elizabeth Prann started at Fox News Channel fresh out of college as my assistant….then, as luck would have it, and as they all do, my assistants move on.  Yes,  I want them to move on to bigger and better jobs and I encourage it, but I still feel a loss each time each leaves.

Elizabeth wanted to be a correspondent or anchor and moved to a local market in Florida….stayed there a couple years…and then moved back to Fox News Channel assigned to our Atlanta bureau.  And now??  Well…she is back!  Elizabeth is now assigned to the DC Bureau and was just in my office moments ago.  I can’t tell you how excited I am to have her back after all these years!

Plus…her timing for her return is perfect for me because my current assistant, Melissa, is leaving at the end of the week to do bigger and better things and I can’t help but have a hole in my heart losing Melissa.  I really love my assistants  but, of course, I do love watching them succeed.  So, while I hate to see Melissa leave (and I do!)….I do have the pleasure of having Elizabeth return.  Of course Elizabeth is not going to be my assistant but can you imagine how fun it is for me to look up at the TV and see her on it?

PS two of my other former assistants are producers on ON THE RECORD at 10pm….and two others are lawyers – both at the Justice Department
