Wide World of Women

It is one thing to see an entire calendar year go faster than a car racing during the Indianapolis 500.

It is an entirely different thing to see that this website will complete its' first full decade .

Let me be the first to say a huge thank you to all the cappers past and present. What an interesting journey this has been, to say the least.

With that in mind, as a special online gift for all you loyal fans...I am proud to display a really cool flashback montage of pics simply referred to as:

The Hottest Fifty Images of the 2010's

To keep it as simple as possible, you can either go back through your archives or click on any past caps that might still work (especially the ones from 2010 through 2013, where a good majority of pics sadly are no longer clickable ).

Second, I suggest having no more than five (5) overall images per year. Regardless if they are/were employed on any network (active or in the one case Al Jazeera, which no longer exists), or more than one woman appeared at the same time--the only criteria was whether they were doing news, weather, sports, or business.

You could either use up the five caps for a single year, or do what I did in spreading them out--whatever suits you best. And yes, veteran members of the board should instantly know which ladies are no longer in the television business .

Third, for those of us who enjoy capping one or two ladies either on a frequent/periodic basis--my hope is that any similar pics showing the ladies constant hairstyles over the last ten years in the same/slightly different studios should not confuse those of you scrolling through either your desktop/laptop or mobile phones.

Fourth, don't worry so much about who originally posted the pics. Paraphrasing the late, great Match Game host Gene Rayburn from back in the day--

You can choose some other people's caps and some of your own.

Finally, for those 50 pics that did not make the cut--you can add between 5 to 10 additional pics as Honorable Mentions.

Have fun .
One more brief thing, just FYI--local or international outlets do not count .

Starting off with 2010 was the host of one of Fox Business' early success stories in Happy Hour was when Rebecca (Gomez) Diamond when during a taped segment modeled off five gorgeous dresses two days prior to that year's Oscars:



2011, a nice variety starting with Betty Nguyen teaming up with former reality TV star Rebecca Jarvis, the once popular CNN duo of Christine Romans and Kiran Chetry, followed by longtime MSNBC veteran Chris Jansing. I finished this set with one of the first ABC appearances of Ginger Zee (this was a few months after she briefly appeared on NBC's Today show.) Finally, one-time CBS News correspondent Lara Logan when she led off a segment on 60 Minutes.



2012, with Kim Cunningham, Ginger Zee reuniting with former WMAQ-NBC5 Chicago weekend sports anchor Paula Faris, a few extremely sexy shots of one Andrea Tantaros, and Kelly Cass--just one year after suffering an ankle injury. That is dedication in my book .



2013 had one-time TWC meteorologist Kyla Grogan, then a pair with Maria Celeste--one from the old studio and the other was a very seductive pic, if I may so myself (as she got a much needed bubble bath while checking out her phone at the same time) .

Rounding out this set was Ginger trying out as a ballperson at that year's U.S. Open tennis tournament and Jamie Colby tackling duties at Fox News solo shortly after Christmas:



2014 has two pics from the same show on the same day--Andrea Tantaros on one end, and the other was the longtime host of the Fox News weekend show in Happening Now, Julie Banderas.

The remaining pics feature Kelly Cass with Kim Cunningham, and a pair with Maria LaRosa (please take note of that rather colorful summer dress, just fyi ).



2015 was the time to watch Fox Business, with the last times we as loyal fans would see Liz Claman do a sit-down interview in New York on a regular basis . The weekend after the set was revised, Trish Rogan joined in from Bloomberg and Melissa Francis came over from CNBC to begin the after market show After The Bell. Sadly, it has not been the same since .



Wonder what she was also looking at besides the Charlie Gasparino interview inside the June 2015 issue of Playboy? Care to take a guess?

2016 saw the emergence of Charissa Thompson after a short-lived stint as the lead anchor for Fox Sports Live. By the time she became host of the pregame show before the actual pregame show called Fox NFL Kickoff, it has given many football fans to fill up an extra hour in the mornings (Cooper Manning, anyone?)

Closing out this set are a pair of holly jolly Christmas pics with Jaymee Sire and Linda Cohn .



The remaining pics are from my personal collection.
Hope you enjoy:

2017 features a pair with Amy Robach (one of them has Lara Spencer in the mix), one very sexy pic of Maria Celeste inside her renovated studio, and another pair of pics of Dylan Dreyer. The last pic led me to believe that she was so desperate to get some much needed sun a few months after giving birth to her first child.



2018 had me capping Stephanie Abrams for the first time, plus more cute shots of Maria (nice dog, btw), Kelly with those expanded weather maps, and finally Ginger Zee outside the new addition of the Keurig coffee space tucked away from the main studio.



To close it with 2019, my choices were very obvious.

A pair each of Dylan and a trio featuring Robin's long and trusty sidekick in Jennifer Westhoven. Since I didn't have much outside of a lot of Ginger and very little of Amy, I had to settle with an extra shot of Natalie since her move out of Los Angeles. The way I saw it, this was the best way for me to fill the final slots.



For those of you curious to know, here are my honorable mention selections starting with Lori Rothman from 2011, a totally different hair color from one Dylan Dreyer in 2013, Linda Cohn from 2016 and the rest are from 2019--Liz Claman talked with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban at the annual SALT Conference in Las Vegas, followed by yet another Robin and Jennifer pic.

I also included the very first person to speak when Fox Business hit the air back in October 2007--as Nicole Petallides began a new chapter of her career with the TD Ameritrade online network. The final entries include when Sandra Smith was working on the business side at Fox instead of on the news side back in 2012. The last pair include Jenna Lee from 2015 that initially felt that may have given us an idea for the future--notice the way she shifted her eyes (even though she is no longer working in television.) Final entry was a newbie with Kelly Cass from Tuesday.

At least, we will all have the memories.



Talk about being in the right places in the right times.
Hope your choices for hottest pics are as amazing as mine.

Nice job

Nicely done.
for including Lara Logan and Sandra Smith in your highlights....Have to think about this for awhile...

What a GREAT collection !!

Many thanks for the sweeeeeet memories

Thank you.

At the very least, it was nice for me to get the ball rolling. So--what about some members here on the rest of this board? I am curious to see someone else's contributions.

Believe me, it took me several hours to finally come up with the 50 images that you see here--especially from the early part of the decade.

I personally prefer this pic of Betty from 2011:

A lot of time & effort went ino that & its appreciated.

My list is going to take some time & work. I also have to make sure some of the images are from the 10s & not late 00s.

Kim Cunningham is someone I miss seeing on the Weather Channel

This was a nice one of Kim.
