"I think the reason I choose a career in Television, is because I grew up watching Good Day L.A. I loved to watch the hosts have a good time in the morning and make people laugh. Also I watched to see what they were wearing...the girls' that is. I think in a way, our show is going to be a little like that...But we are going to highlight Oklahoma and everything that it has to offer..."
