This Halloween Eve American Morning co-anchor John Roberts had his mind on the treats, not the tricks this morning. Deliciously and ironically so! As AM returned from a break almost mid-show with a shot of Charlotte, NC, to the tune of the Cure’s “Friday I’m in Love,” John announced, “Cloudy and fifty-eight degrees right now. Mostly honey with the sun.”
Co-host Kiran Chetry interjected, “Mostly honey? Hey! What’s on your mind this morning?” Laughing, John remarked, “Oh! What am I thinking about? It’s Friday. What the heck!” He chuckled heartily and smacked himself on the cheek with his rolled-up papers in mock censure. Beaming and looking straight into the camera, apparently, to his reported flame, CNN anchor Kyra Phillips said, “Hey, Honey!”
With a mischievous grin and a gleam in her eye, Kiran waved, “Hi, Honey!” Raising her eyebrows and then winking wickedly, she added, “It going to be mostly honey today.” Chuckling, John looked down, shook his head, and smacked it twice more.
Was your day off yesterday that sweet, John?
[Ironically, Kiran had a similar "honey" moment with former CNN legal eagle Sunny Hostin last year around this very time.]

I wish anchors would let their hair down here on air like they do over there. News broadcasts here are proper, dull and boring. they put me to sleep and that’s why I don’t watch the local news. I know what’s going on in the rest of the world but not where I am!

Hopefully, Dave, your anchors there will loosen up in time. Thankfully, AM’s anchors, Kiran and John, seem to be doing so more and more. Happy Halloween!
