I'm from Memphis, but I live in Charlotte. I work with the best team in TV news. I'm happy a few get my references. I'm flawed, but I'm trying to make amends.

I'm disappointed when fellow journalists forget one of the five W questions a story must answer - who, what, when, where, and why. I just read an article that never answered the "when." Please remember the fundamentals.

So TCM is showing Tom Hanks' "That Thing You Do." Yes! It IS a classic. It's still among my favorite films for being such a positive -- and snappy -- flick.

I've seen a commercial for "The Running Man" and "Predator: Badlands." As my late, great, prim-and-proper Grandmother once said, "Arnold Schwarzenegger...he be everywhere."

Please tell me what happened to the letter "T"? When did "important" become "impor-int"? When did "Britain" become "Bri-in"? Does anyone younger than the age of 40 know how to actually pronounce words correctly without sounding like a 2020s Valley girl? -asking for a friend

I would really like to know where that low bar is to be a celebrity. Seems like someone who's watched two episodes of CSI: Miami and stood in front of a camcorder 15 years ago is considered a celebrity. #RaiseTheBar

I'm sorry to admit this...but I've reawakened my craving for BBQ potato chips. I avoided it for about 35 years, but no...the monkey's on my back again.

On February 18, 2001, NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt died at age 49 from injuries sustained in a last-lap crash at the Daytona 500

This was a devastating day for a lot of NASCAR fans and non-fans. There are not many stars of other sports who've been killed during competition. It was one of those "where were you when you heard..." moments.

I remember watching Saturday Night Live one night in 1989 when, during a commercial break, a announcer shared breaking news - Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini had died. I figured there would be an anchor, but it was an announcer reading story over an NBC News logo. Scared the crap out of me.

Hello, Netflix. I know it's your first MLB game and all. I never thought I would quote a Toby Keith song, but how about... a little less talk and a lot more action? Please?
