The 9pm anchors are featured, included Supellsa who is now in booze rehab. There must be some kind of 9pm curse, first Allison got sick, now Mark S. becomes a secret midnight boozer. I think some kind of deep mental moral tremor must hit the newsreaders who still have a modicum of human dignity left after reading all the Tribco news pablum. Oh, and Micah appears to have had a nose job during her last "vacation". Definite a smaller shnoze.
