Alyssa Edwards and Coco Montrese have nothing on these two queens. Philadelphia’s CBS3 Morning News anchor Nicole Brewer and her archnemesis, weatherwoman Carol Erickson, have a history of passive-aggressively reading the shit out of each other on air.
Brewer, a former Miss Pennsylvania — and we know how those pageant girls are [read: VICIOUS] — and Erickson trade barbs like they just lip-synched for their lives and are awaiting RuPaul’s final decision in the Interior Illusions Lounge.
Get these two gals a nationally-syndicated morning show STAT because the best part of waking up is a heaping helping of shade in your cup. Honestly, how can your day not be great when you’re staring at this at 5 am:

Ms. Nicole Brewer needs to be let go. Unprofessional. What the Hell is wrong with their director for allowing this to unravel on air. It’s not clever, cute, nor edifying. Of the two, Brewer has lost.

Yeah, I think the news anchor is being a bully on air. She comes off as a real bitch. I have to assume that this is staged because I can not imagine a news station allowing that sort of behavior to go unchecked. I think it’s being done intentionally to get ratings. I mean we’re watching it…lol.

How can you NOT want to hang out in a piano bar with Carol and talk smack about Nicole?

Oh, dear. This is the best thing ever. It’s like a real life Anchorman.

This “show” is only available weekend mornings, not during the week. Carol has been at this station LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG before this Nicole showed up and will be there long after she’s gone. I’ve never been a great fan of Carol’s but she’s always been professional, which is much more than anyone can say about this other chippy!

at least they’re trying to keep it light even if it falls flat at times. I loved “I’m sure you regret that… along with that last glass of “whatever”…. LOL.

Welcome to Philadelphia, where our local newscasters (and weather people) are our biggest celebrities. We kinda love it. We’re major-market enough to attract talent, but not major enough to stifle personality.

@1EqualityUSA: This. I can’t believe that they let this keep happening, unless it really is just friendly banter that sounds nastier than it is.

NateB79, I suppose we have been spoiled by our extremely professional newscasters on KTVU Mornings on 2. Dave Clark is so handsome and likable. Tori Campbell and Dave Clark complement each other so well. They must have someone in the department that correlates the colors they wear. Ultimate professionals. No floozy action, no extreme personality quirks, all of them are professionals. Pam Cook, Julie Haener, Steve Paulson, Mark Tamayo are all so normal. (This is the part where I leave Sal Castaneda out, but who wants to be a downer.) To see these women acting like this on the air makes me realize that we are lucky to have KTVU airing in San Francisco.

All I see is friendly banter

@miagoodguy: Nothing friendly about their exchange im afraid.

Either Nicole needs to be fired, or their banter needs to get a LOT funnier. Right now Nicole’s just nasty, stupid and not funny.
