Alexis Glick hosts Your World
Alexis Glick is hosting Your Wold with Neil Cavuto today. Interesting tidbit, in a segment with Ray Hennessey, recently named Managing Editor and Director of the Fox Business Network website, Glick ended it by teasing, “You’ll be seeing a lot of him right here on Fox Business Network”.
I didn’t watch much of the coverage on FOX, but that screenshot alone resembles some qualities of CNBC’s coverage…the live camera shot on the data wall, the “Biz Alert” (CNBC Alert) and the competent anchor…oh wait….well, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad….

Glick doesn’t look very professional in that short sleeved top! And you all should already know her anchoring skills are slim&none. I see Dan Rather just corrected her that the book isn’t a “tell all about Katie.” Wow, what a coincidence! I tune in for 2 minutes and Glick already messed up.

I think she did a very good job. I have seen her several times lately and she appears to be knowledgeable and doesn’t “talk down” to those of us out here that are not power players in the market, but have a modest investment.

“You’ll be seeing a lot of him right here on Fox Business Network”.
She does realize that the Fox News Channel (which she was on when she said that) and the Fox Business Network (which does not yet exist) aren’t the same thing. Right?…. right?

^ LOL
And has anyone ever seen Ray H. on TV before? He used to do a 5 minute daily segment on Power Lunch (the Halftime Report) with Bob O’Brien…to say he isn’t TV material would be putting it lightly. This guy cannot string 3 words together to put together a sentence. He has NO TV persona at all…for Glick to actually say that we’ll be seeing a lot more of him should not excite any viewers, trust me.

Don, I was thinking the same thing when she said that…
I wasn’t impressed with her, but business programming bores me to begin with.

Terance: Alexis is much too low-keyed for my tastes. I much prefer Brenda Buttner or Dagan McDowell as hosts.

I’ve only seen her once, and I thought she was a college girl. Plus she wore “puffy sleeves”, which are apparently in style again? (I don’t know; I’m near 50!). Anyway, she just seems too young and very inexperienced to be anchoring Your World. Plus, Fox has a plethora of business anchors (Buttner, Keenan, Varney, Asman, Casone, and more!) to use as substitutes.
