arvep — Fri, 13 May 2011 02:54:00 +0000

…her colleague, Brian Steel, who “couldn’t help but notice” Mandy’s resemblance to Rapunzel, want to know?

admin — Fri, 06 May 2011 22:23:49 +0000

No one has said anything but…the standing ovation on the floor of the NYSE, the “good luck, Erin” from Jane Wells, the hints being dropped by Haines and, as one of you noticed, what appear to have been tears in EB’s eyes at the start of the program seem to suggest yes?

Update: And yes, it’s been confirmed today is the day (though Burnett will say her final good-bye Street Signs at 2PM).

Update II: Erin has gifted Haines with a pack of camel magnets, a keychain, a card she was insistent he not read on air, and Cheetos-flavored lip gloss.

Update III: Haines is crying.

Update IV: Erin is crying.

Update V: Are any of you crying? No? YOU MONSTERS!

The news of Burnett’s departure from CNBC for CNN broke Wednesday night but apparently she’s been waiting for CNBC president Mark Hoffman to get back from vacation to make it official face to face. While there’s been no indication what EB’s last day on the network will be, we suggest you start thinking now about how you’d like to comfort Mark Haines, who is more than likely an emotional basket case, so you’re ready when the time comes.

Bob Vila Has Some Bones To Pick With The New Squawk Box Set

admin — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 00:19:45 +0000

Earlier this morning, Squawk Box invited Bob Vila on to discuss their brand new set. Having seen the old one (which Bob described as “a cross between a kitchen cooking show and Star Wars“), what did he think in comparison, Joe wanted to know? “Looks like a great job,” Bob told the gang. “Love the colors.” Having said that…”I wonder, when you tore down the old set, did you recycle any of the materials?” No one had any idea and BV wasn’t finished. “I noticed in the back of the new set you have a staircase that’s very sleek and modern but has no hand rails. I wonder how you got a certificate of occupancy there.”
