I'm not really sure what she was trying to do though. She should have gotten up, and run over the Don Nelson & pinched him. Reaching across that table was not a good idea!

ricco67 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I remember seeing that! She was trying to pinch Don Nelson because he didn't wear any green for St. Patrick's day!It sure did look like a nasty hit, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should have gotten up, and run over the Don Nelson & pinched him. Reaching across that table was not a good idea!Actually, the news anchors often can't just get up and walk around. They're tethered to the desk by their microphone and IFB wires. Sometimes the wired pair is the primary, and there's a wireless set for backup, or the other way around. It's up to the station engineers. Weathermen always have wirelesses and can go wherever they want. More than once I've had a Houston weather anchor not turn off his wireless mic and I got to listen to him take care of his business. One guy was like clockwork. I always knew when it was 6:20 by the sound that would echo through my headset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol... I always enjoy it when someone is mic'd up and they don't realize they are "ON". Must've been very interesting to hear what went on....

JLWM8609 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I Love Melanie Lawson! I'm not really sure what she was trying to do though. She should have gotten up, and run over the Don Nelson & pinched him. Reaching across that table was not a good idea! I've known Melanie for a long time and she doesn't do much running now. She's got MS and walks with a cane most times. You gotta admit though, she took it quite well! As far as falls go, that one seemed graceful. Plus, she didn't pull an Isaiah Carey and curse everyone out. Now if you want to see a funnier newscaster fall, check this out from our friends up north. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what it is about reporters and news ancors but they are some of the most funny people in the world and its all by accident.

Hanuman Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 ms in the 80's shouldn't be funnyMS at anytime is not funny, and in every case, so tragic. Melanie always lights me up when I see her. I had no idea that she was afflicted with this malady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little frau Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 MS at anytime is not funny, and in every case, so tragic. Melanie always lights me up when I see her. I had no idea that she was afflicted with this malady.She, or one of her co-anchors, announced it on the show several years ago when she was first diagnosed. She said then that she'd continue at the news desk but not out in the field. She has always been one of my favorites of all the Houston anchors.
