Stephanie Edwards

Stephanie Edwards will, here, at this righteous and best-written of all blogs on earth, she will get her deserved praise, like no one else at this righteous blog has ever gotten praise because, well, so far, no one else has yet deserved it. Lemmee get a cup of coffee, hold on, I'll need all brain cells firing to write about this woman..... Ok.:Mmmm....good coffee. Tastes a little like dissolved dog flesh. A long time ago in Los Angeles a man named Ralph Storey was quietly revolutionizing morning television. He was making it interesting. He worked very hard at it. He wrote a LOT of copy for himself. He had a dry sense of humor. He would talk about local Los Angeles pecadillos. He rarely tallked politics unless to make brief sarcastic jokes. He "came across" as your friend. It was not a charade. He probably was your friend. In tv personalities, we endure, and gladly, riffraff. If they at least make an effort to appear genuinely not-riffraff. Because we like to watch tv. We like it a lot. Put on an act if you want to, we'll watch, just make an effort at least. It doesn't even have to be much of one, we'll watch, we have no lives. But Ralph Storey was so NOT riffraff that it was immediately apparent to everybody, even the most deluded or stupid. Nobody did NOT like Ralph Storey. And he was endlessly interesting. And had no motive in his critiques of things. Other than to inform you how he felt about this or that. He did not have to be ambitious because 1: he had talent and 2: he loved what he was doing, and what he was doing was 3: what he did best. This resulted in 4: a contented man. He was where he wanted to be, doing what he wanted to do and he was gathering a larger audience all the time. Because he was interesting. This was new for "reportage," which I guess is what he was, a reporter. He reported stuff. Stuff HE thought was interesting, not stuff the AP thought was ijnteresting. and he reported on it. then he gave you his opinion on it. He was not unbiased and balanced. He was biased and unevenly weighted. He told you what was going on. Not crime, not stress, just everyday stuff he noticed around town that his viewers had probably noticed to but never figured it was important enough to share with anybody except maybe at breakfast at the table. Suddenly this guy on tv over across the room from the breakfast table was talking about the same thing and noticed what you had noticed and was now telling you. Whoa!.....Let me turn around here and check this out!, shut up a minute, Dear. Please, I mean. Stephanie Edwards literallly came out of nowhere. She was in a hospital bed and saw Ralph Storey and wrote him a letter then and there that she wanted to co-host his show. That must have been one hell of a letter. She showed up and started doing mini-reports on things. She was fantastic. She was as good if not better than Ralph at what Ralph did. Ralph liked this. He was, like I say, talented. Talent loves talent. He just couldn't get enough of her. And she genuinely admired him. In a twinkling the two of them OWNED morning tv in LA. Now? Jesus, there's a morning blather show on every channel on earth with "paired up" people. With Regis and whoever he is now with leading the pack. There are morning parings that go tilll noon. Ralph Storey and Stephanie Edwards are why. Why doesn't Stephanie Edwards own the airways? Well, here's the PROBLEM with Stephanie Edwards: she can't stand idiots. She has the highest IQ in live television. She has no equal for off-the-cuff chatter live. She also has no patience, I suspect, with idiot bosses. And that would be all of them. So rather than have to go crazy getting called into the office to be lectured by morons, she sort of bowed-out of television. I don't think she needs the money. She does other stuff. She did a series, a very serious, no goofy stuff eries, for Educational Television about English grammar. And not English grammar for Mexicans here illegally and trying to apply for free American Taxpayer money, but advanced, high-school level stuff. And I think she preaches Jesus, or some goddamn thing. channel 5, KTLA did try to get her doing a morning chatter show but they teamed her up with a fag. It ain't very likely, Her being a hard-core Bible fuck that she was enjoying being around a summer-sausage-roundup cowboy. There wasn't a whole lot of rapport going on between them both and the show tanked. If they had just let her do the show alone she would have been fine. She's pretty bright so she would only have attracted an intelligent audience, and tv executive are pretty skittish around intelligence so it isn't likely she'll ever get a show alone. She always gets hooked up with a dull witted buffoon who thinks he or she is a genius of the airwaves - such as Bob Eubanks or Mikaylah Jemima or that roly poly Fag On Five.
