I'm Ron Burgundy?
If I'm going to be going on camera I'm going to need a new name and a signoff, no? As for the name, the Significant Other suggested while driving me to work today that I should go with "Cinnamon Surewood," which made me realize that in my contract negotiations I'm going to have to demand a towncar and a driver. Name ideas to get you brainstorming:
Tweedy Fluffington
Arianna Dewberry
Possible signoffs:
"Thanks for stopping by, nation."
"You stay classy, nation."
"Go **** yourself, nation."
"And that's the way it is, nation."
"How about you do another take. I'll be in the bar."
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go practice my non-regional diction.

Lois Pifferfield?
Patricia Worthington-Somerset?
"Sit and spin, nation."
The classic finger to the ear, “This just in (pause) OH DEAR SWEET JESUS…..” and then run off camera.
Or “Welcome to the *** bitch!”
Amanda Roundbottom?
I could do this all day.
O M G thats my favorite line of all time...I am Ron Burgundy?
I think you should just go with the original classic:
Tits McGee.
Wow, what an opportunity to reinvent yourself!
While your suggestions are good, how about a combo of the two? Arianna Fluffington. Few could pull that off as you could.
Chesty LeRue?
Lez Bow...?
DAMMIT! Who put a question mark on the teleprompter?
I'm Susan Sheffieldson with all the news not fit for print.
(I used to be a radio newsreader - go figure.)
Rochelle Rochelle
Julia J. Pantsuit
Melba Toast
LeeRoy Higginbotham (yeah, I don't know...but a woman named "LeeRoy" would be unforgettable, right?)
Well, I've considered your suggestions carefully and I think we have a winner, courtesy of the S.O. and I-66: Cinnamon Roundbottom. It is both compelling and rich. And highly, highly accurate.
The signoff winner is my very own brother, with his finger-to-the-earpiece/"Oh sweet Jesus!" set fleeing approach.
You have all played a vital role in creating a quality television product that will be viewed by literally tens of people. Well done. Go get yourself a nice glass of scotch. And some cheese.
Excellent choices.
Admirable choices, all, but what about going back to your Simpsons' roots? How about
Ineeda Mantahugginkis
(Although I admit it doesn't have the same zip as Cinnamon Roundbottom. And no, the latter is NOT true. You should have seen me in ski bibs this weekend. I was like the Sta-Puff Marshmallow Man incarnate, except if he were licorice flavored.)
SS-Excellent suggestion!
See, if you'd snapped up the $14 bargain pants they would have looked like gangbusters. ;-)
