Today American Morning co-anchor John Roberts revealed that Friday mornings are Big Easy A.M.’s!
At the close of a segment with Dr. Sanjay Gupta about the bane of middle-aged beauties imbibing more than 2 drinks, Roberts asked, “You can’t go by raw numbers, can you, when you’re talking about mixed drinks? As people know, some bars water down their liquor.” He then revealed, “There’s a fellow here who serves us sometimes when we get off the air on Friday morning: Two of his drinks are like twelve of anybody else’s.” Guffawing, Gupta quipped, “You go there on Friday morning? There’s the real headline.” Roberts retorted, “It’s our six o’clock at night: come on!” Gupta responded, “Good point.” Roberts acknowledged, “People do look at us a little weird.” Gupta concluded, “If you drink at a Friday in the morning, there’s other problems: that’s another segment.”
Perhaps, Janelle Rodriguez should loosen up Kiran Chetry and John with a few mimosas pre-show. The viewer could get informed and entertained. Bring A.M. to the Big Easy, Janelle: perhaps, during Mardi Gras. A good time will be had by all!

Do Kiran and John go out for drinks together? And they do this after the show while it’s still morning?
Well, I guess I can see how they’d both need a few drinks after finishing another week on that disaster of a show.

I assume Kiran goes home to take care of her kids. Note I said “assume” and you know what that could mean.
