The guys on the "KTLA Morning News" set had some fun the other day making new intern Irene bring them coffee on the air. But when meteorologist Henry DiCarlo sat on a stool and told Irene to massage a muscle kink out of his shoulder, and Irene moved to go along with the gag, anchor Megan Henderson spoke up as the voice of TV news female experience.
"Stop it!," she shouted over the laughter. "No. No. Irene. Don't. It will be horrible for your career later on." While DiCarlo grinned, Henderson continued advising Irene, with no mirth in her voice. "Trust me. Trust me. It will be horrible for your career. Just walk away. Walk away. Walk away from him...Smart girl." Co-anchor Chris Schauble stopped cackling long enough to jump in and point out, "I think Megan just did a solid for another woman." Yeah. 45,000 views on YouTube and counting.
DiCarlo, of course, is the weatherman who walked out on a live camera this week because his on-air segment was cut short, then did his penance on the air yesterday.

* Added: On another morning, Henderson can't come up with any examples of cooking dinner for men, but tells viewers "I've cooked breakfast. Many a times." She also models her high heels (and legs) in another segment.
Also: A clip of Henderson (with short hair) working together with DiCarlo (as Henry Stone) in Salt Lake City ten years ago.
