Courtney Friel opens up wide for TV news industry blog Soup Cans. Soup Cans picks her brain and finds it is (in my view) as empty as Al Capone's vault.
SC: "What's your favorite story involving a celebrity you've interviewed?"
CF: "There have been some funny moments- but I'm not going to embarrass anyone famous- or myself!"
The Fox News bikini bonehead ex-World Poker Tour hostess has embarrassed herself enough on the air to the point that Fox brass banished her to website Siberia.
SC: "How did the gig with Fox News come about?"
CF: "Well...I went on a date with Roger Ailes...OMG- I'm joking!!"
OMG! TV news casting couches are terminally stained with Courtney's DNA!
SC: "Any truth to the report on some websites that there is on the set animosity between you and Julie Banderas?"
CF: I just ran into Julie and we laughed about this "rumor." We were on a weekend show together for 6 months and “message boards” imagined a catfight.
OMG! I analyzed Julie's body language when Friel was on the show. There's no doubt that Julie had a hard-on for bubble-headed Friel. The Maxim nearly-nude model couldn't read a TelePrompTer, was constitutionally incapable of stringing an intelligible sentence without a script, and Julie's attitude was like, why the fuck is she screwing up my show?
It wasn't just Julie's show. Friel was summarily dismissed by a grimacing Alan Colmes in an appearance on "Hannity & Colmes." More Friel Follies? Click on her name in the box below.
Executive summary: Three years at Fox and the notorious brick shit house is still dumb as a brick

ReplyDeleteShe popped up the other day on air on Fox and I thought who let her out, who picked the lock :)
I don't dislike this person, she just makes me uncomfortable every time she comes on air. I think she is going to make another sexual connotation to something totally unrelated. Is that all she knows how to relate to people sexually? It doesn't come off campy it comes of crude kind of vulgar, not witty maybe she doesn't know how she behaves off air - to get on air should stop when the camera is rolling? Doesn't know what is appropriate probably doesn't have a clue where to draw the line on air?
Surely a teleprompter and NO improvisation would fix the issue. She comes on and I just wait for her to say something to make me cringe. This way they can put up the Cheese Cake without the bad after taste.
I don't dislike her, either, Laree. She's just incompetent and doesn't belong in a network news block. I was happy when she was banished to the website gulag. Appearances on Fox's Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld are okay. The celebrity red carpet. But Fox's attempt to make her a news anchor failed miserably. Please, Fox, keep her off the news blocks, okay?
ReplyDeleteadmit I watch Fox but they do have some real mental midgets. this one and this week that twit Ainsley airhead has been stumbling thru the morning fox and friends. then we have the two male bozos on the weekend fox and friends. I refuse to watch either one of them. my guess you could put these four together and start a whole population that would make rednecks look like Rhodes scholars
ReplyDeleteNow now--nobody's perfect.
ReplyDeletejimbotalk,
ReplyDeleteBut I want something I can watch on Weekend mornings, and Fox & Friends Weekend edition isn't it. There I am being nice. I have taken to watching "Clean House" on the Style network. Yes I would love to see Fox News Clean House say Saturday and Sunday Mornings give me something to watch, the News hasn't stopped because it is the Weekend.
There is at least one lame segment each time, I watch. One was correct way to wash your hands...sigh. I forget the last one maybe how to read a product label? I can't remember if that was Fox & Friends because I change the channel.
Jim, I've said it before, Miss Friel is impossibly unwatchable. I agree with Anon...
ReplyDeleteShe's never been completely banished from TV while at FNC. In fact, I had the displeasure of seeing her twice today, once during "Happening Now" and then later on that old pervert Cavuto's show.
ReplyDeleteI don't dislike Courtney Freil, either, but whenever she's on a story I feel like I'm watching the overacting "Ginger" of "Gilligan's Island". It was funny on a sitcom but not a news channel.
ReplyDeleteAinsley Earhardt is ok, she just shouldn't be on a show with banter like F&F.
What could she have possibly contributed to Cavuto's show?
ReplyDeleteShe "reads" some report that someone else obviously put together and which has to do with shopping or web trends, although the real reason she's there is jackoff material for dirty old hermits.
