An emailer wrote in to note that Monica Crowley appeared on Imus this morning and when asked by Imus said her show was “in development” and that she had been going to Secaucus to shoot pilots. It’s been over half a year and the show is still “in development”?

From a tipster (but edited)…

Jeff Greenfield was babbling about something, and the picture cut to George. First speaking, and then looking at the camera with a very confused expression.

Barbara Turnbull in the Toronto Star has a profile of CNN’s Paula Zahn.

Curiosity doesn’t always kill the cat.

In Paula Zahn’s case, it’s made her an award-winning, leading news anchor in North America.

Her journey from a suburban Chicago public school system to a nightly prime time slot on CNN is one she will share with a sold-out audience at Roy Thomson Hall at 7:30 tonight, when she takes the stage as the next speaker in the Unique Lives & Experiences lecture series, sponsored in part by the Toronto Star.

“As you’re living this frenetic pace, you sometimes forget all the little stepping stones along the way,” she says. “I have had so much fun over the last month…trying to remember some of the pivotal stories I covered earlier on in my career that shaped me and propelled me to where I am today.
