Today's Amy Robach Selected TV's Hottest Anchor

Maxim Magazine has selected NBC Weekend Today anchor Amy Robach as the Hottest TV anchor. Maxim.com has the complete list. Roback is a popular topic on this blog. The blog really started after NBC started splitting weekend anchor duties between Robach and Jenna Wolfe. Both are paired with Lester Holt on alternating days... guy is comfortable one day and on guard another. Here's what Maxim says about Robach, "All the recent wailing about America´s unemployment rate overlooks some of its benefits, namely the additional time it affords you with the hottest host in Today Show history. Her fill-in work at the news desk and on the NBC Nightly News has been par excellence, a term we know only because it´s a synonym for "nifty" on Webster.com." (The image is from her anchoring days at MSNBC.)


Here's the rest of the list:
2. Megan Kelly, FOX News
3. Erin Burnett, CNBC
4. Betty Nguyen, CNN
5. Jenna Lee, Fox Business News
6. Deidre Bolton, Bloomberg
7. Julie Banderas, FOX News
8. Margaret Brennan, CNBC
9. Courtney Friel, FOX News
10. Rebecca Jarvis, CNBC

OK boys and girls... what do we learn from this list? Here are some thoughts:
--If you're not hot, don't hold out much hope of working for FOX News. (3 of 10 are FOX News anchors)
--They have to hire some hotties to anchor business news anywhere... maybe to keep people awake. (5 of 10 are business anchors)
--Sad... Betty Nguyen is the only one holding the CNN flag.
--NBC's only win... the one that counts.. Robach in first place.
--Can you imagine the sad faces at ABC News and CBS News... put of the "No Hotties Work Here" sign
--So just where is Maria Bartiromo, the original 'Money Honey'?

Now the whole world is finding out what I have known all along. Amy Robach is the hottest chick on network news. Say good bye Meredith,your replacement is in place.

I agree 100%. There's nothing hotter on TV than Amy Robach showing off those beautiful leggs in black pantyhose & heels! Natalie Morales should have taken 2nd place though.

You missed several fine ones at NBC. The O'Donnell girls, Kelly and Norah, and one or two more of NBC's hot brunettes.
